Things to Consider When Looking for a Beachside Hotel
1. Pandemic Safety Protocols
Before even beginning your search for a great beachside hotel, you should first check on current pandemic protocols. The internet is such a friendly place when it comes to that. Easily verifiable information is always available online. If you already have a location in mind, then you should immediately check travel bulletins from such a country. You should also make it a point to read about your country’s current pandemic protocol. Your country will have a list of countries that are safe to visit.
Once you’ve secured that the location of your choice is safe to visit, only choose hotels with sound pandemic protocols. If you can, you should look for one that requires guests to be fully vaccinated and to take COVID tests prior to arrival. This will ensure that you have a fully safe and stress-free beach holiday.
2. Rates
Check on the rates of your beachside hotel options. You should never go out on a holiday without a budget in mind. It’s important to already be particular with the amount of money that you’re willing and able to spend even before doing all the planning. Ask yourself: how much can I spend?
Such a question must be answered honestly. You should only spend the current amount of money that you have. We’re still in the middle of a pandemic and you need to be wise about your spending. If you can, you should strive to work around your available budget at all times. Going for a grand beach holiday is not worth it if you’d have a hard time making it by and paying your bills immediately after.
Don’t stick to just one hotel option. Look for at least three in one particular location and dedicate time to comparing their rates. If two hotels are exactly in the same location with almost similar offerings, it will be wise to choose one that will allow you to save more money.
3. Location
You should be particular when it comes to location. When it comes to location, not all beachside hotels are made equal. To look for a good one, you should first be aware of what you want.
Do you want one that is nearest to the shore? Do you want one that is near all the bars and restaurants? Do you prefer a restful space far away from all the noise?
Your personal preferences should easily guide you in looking for the best beachside hotel for your well-deserved holiday getaway. Most of the best beachside hotels are usually near to the shore and near all the bars and restaurants.
4. Reviews
Once you’ve finalized your top options, you should dedicate hours to going through customer reviews. Nothing is more reliable and transparent than actual testimonies from people who truly experienced a beachside hotel’s amenities and services.
Immediately cross out options with low ratings. Such low ratings should serve as enough warning. If you have particular preferences, make it point to only read reviews that discuss such needs. Customer reviews are perfect because they will give you an idea as to how things will be once you arrive at the hotel. As some hotels can have overwhelming numbers of reviews, you could give yourself an easier time if you’d only opt to read ones with photos.
5. Staff
Choose a beachside hotel that is known for its fantastic staff. You should know from all your past travels that having splendid hotel staff service is essential in enjoying your holiday. It’s impossible to truly see how hotel staff truly are if you know no one who has been to the hotel. It’s a good thing that you can fully rely on online customer reviews.
You would want a fully restful and relaxing holiday so you should only choose a beachside hotel with friendly, warm, and accommodating staff.
6. Food
Food will elevate your holiday getaway in ways that will astound you. It will be the very heart of your holiday vacay. Hence, it’s important that you look for a beachside hotel that offers delicious choices made from premium ingredients. It’s also best if you’d choose a beachside hotel that is near all the restaurants and bars that can offer more food choices.
You should ensure that the beachside hotel of your choice is stellar when it comes to maintaining food hygiene. No one wants a beach holiday tainted with food poison. So do be careful.
7. Accommodation and Amenities
Your beachside hotel of choice should be able to make you feel welcome, safe, and comfortable at all times. You should book one that will allow you to have double the pleasure and the fun. Never be content with plain descriptions of rooms. Look for ones with actual photos of available spaces. A good beachside hotel will at least have the following amenities:
a. High-speed Wi-Fi connection
b. Bathtub
c. Walk-in shower
d. In-room safe
e. Minibar
f. Television
g. Coffee maker
Be particular with your personal needs. If you want one with a pool, check on how deep it is and see if it matches your preferences. If you’re going with a person with special needs, consider a beachside hotel with PWD-friendly amenities.
