We have stayed at Charella and like it alot. The only thing I didn't like is the practice of guests/the hotel allowing people to "reserve" chairs spaces on the beach all day long, all week long. It makes the nicely shaded beach area in front of the hotel, a real plus and one of the nicest in my opinion, crowded all day long. Sometimes, it was hard for us to find a nice place on the beach as there were so many empty chairs with towells draped over them indicated that they were reserved. It would stay that way for a guest's entire stay. So even if a guest never made it to the beach that day, his chair and place on the beach were nonetheless "reserved" preventing someone else from enjoying it. During our last visit, this practice became a little annoying. That's my only complaint and the place/staff were otherwise great.
