What should I inspect personally before committing to beachfront hotels?

Beachfront can mean direct sand access, a road between hotel and beach, or simply a sea view. Confirm the exact layout before paying a premium. Inspect the exact room or unit, water pressure, air conditioning, internet, noise, lifts, parking, access roads and signs of damp or construction. Record the condition in photographs and make sure the written inventory and contract match what you were shown. Booking note: Confirm the exact location, room type, noise exposure, cancellation terms, deposits and guest policy directly. “Central”, “beachfront” and “sea view” can describe very different layouts.
