What you can't see is that it has loungers in the front, on the beach, such as it is. Also, there's a short dock with a bit of a T at the end of it, out front, that also has some loungers on it. If you are into sunbathing, you might want to get out on to that dock and claim your lounger first. There's a fair amount of foot traffice in front of the Mayan which is great for people watching, but not so great for quiet sunbathing.
