What hidden costs should I check with luxury hotels and five-star resorts?

Luxury stays concentrate in central beachfront towers, North Pattaya, Wong Amat, Pratumnak and Na Jomtien. Compare beach quality, club benefits, construction noise and transport. 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.
