I see the op has already booked a room at the Safari Beach so I will just add some comments and a couple photos for the benefit of others that may be considering the beach-side rooms there.
The beach deluxe rooms do not have any windows other than the glass entry door. I was a little reluctant to stay in the rooms because of that but discovered that while the rooms are a little dark, it really isn't that bad. The rooms are nicely furnished, have their own extra shower and sitting area just outside, and offer quiet privacy. Added bonus is that all you have to do is walk down the stairs to breakfast on the beach.
I've also stayed in the beach-side junior suite. It does have a couple windows facing out to the road but they are blocked by a partition between them and the head of the bed. A cleaver way of keeping down any noise etc from the street I think. The junior suite, like the deluxe beach-side rooms, is also a little dark inside but it is very nicely appointed and decorated. Both the room and bathroom are huge.
I really enjoyed my stays in both the rooms on this side of the hotel. Only negatives are rooms are a little dark and you have to walk accross the street to use the pool. On the positive side are the quiet, privacy, proximity to beach and restaurant, nice furnishings, and the fact that the wifi from downstairs bleeds up into these rooms.
Added bonus beachside is the little bar/restaurant right next door called the Tipsy Prawn. Nice place for lunch or happy hour if you are using the beach. They have a shower there to clean off the salt and sand as well.
I guess to sum up all this ranting, don't let the lack of windows scare you away from these rooms. If you are the type of person that has to have direct light streaming into the room, you won't be happy here, but if not, the beach side rooms have many advantages.
