I was worried about construction, now I think its seaweed, i would appreciate if anyone could comment on either.:)

I was there last week. This is really no big deal. When you stand on the beach, looking at the water, only the very far right side is under construction. The vast majority of the beach is normal.

 

Basically the construction starts on the other side of the Kontiki.

 

I took these pics last week

FWIW, Kontiki charged us $20 for two lounge chairs with thick cushions, and an umbrella. That gave us access to free wifi, showers and bathrooms.

Can you walk by the construction on the beach?

 

Also every time I've been taxied to the beach they have dropped me off by Pedro's. Can you ask to be taken further up north?
