What hidden costs should I check with family hotels and resorts?

Family hotels should be judged by pool safety, connecting rooms, children’s activities, beach access, breakfast and distance from adult nightlife. Ask about deposits, taxes, service charges, utilities, cleaning, electricity, internet, parking, guest fees and early termination. For property, include transfer fees, common-area fees, maintenance and legal due diligence. 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.
