Creation of a beach hotel is a very complex exercise. It has to take   into account a number of factors and find suitable and marketable   solutions. Unlike city hotels, where the prime motivator of the guest is   to visit the hotel for business or transit, the motivation of the   visitor in a resort hotel is to spend quality time on a vacation or a   holiday. Normally a person takes a vacation with the family; hence, one   has to plan the hotel in a way that it fulfills the holiday  expectations  of all, the husband, the wife and the children.
As  the name suggests, a beach hotel is either a beach property,  located on  a beach or have a beachfront across the road. A hotel in the  city with  a famous beach will not qualify as a beach hotel. As the prime  factor  for people to come to these hotels is leisure, the hotels are  planned  to offer a relaxed, holiday mood and atmosphere with a host of  leisure  activities to keep the visitors occupied all the time.
The rooms  or apartments in beach hotels are large and airy and often  sunny too.  Good beach hotels have rooms measuring 45 square meters up  wards.  Luxury beach hotels offer family suites, which are as large as  200  square meters with separate living, dining and bedroom spaces. Beach   hotels offer plenty of sun and sand, therefore good beach hotels   provide either a balcony or a private sun deck with the room, for people   to soak the sun in their own privacy. A very popular concept now a  days  is to have part of the hotel as beach villas with their own  private  beaches.
The accommodation in a beach hotel offers  choice of queen sized or  king beds. For children they offer either  provision of extra beds in the  room or have a pull out bed in the sofa  placed in the rooms. The hotels  normally have enough interconnecting  rooms for those who want an  additional room for the children. The  bathrooms have long baths as also a  walk in shower. All rooms have a  hair dryer, satellite channels on the  TV, mini bars, bathrobes and  slippers. Hotels also provide wireless  internet connectivity through  out the premises to allow guest to  communicate via mails.
Beach  hotel planners pay special attention to create adequate  facilities for  their junior guests, the children. This keeps the  children busy and  entertained under hotels care while the parents are  enjoying the sun or  the surf. These are facilities like playrooms, video  games parlor,  table tennis, and kiddies' pools etc. Beach hotels also  have a  well-planned and attractive food menu for the children.  Successful  planning of children facilities would normally result in  profitable  marketing.
For the senior guests, one has to plan a host of  activities where  they can spend their time and money. Water sports like  sailing, scuba  diving, snorkeling, water skiing are quite popular. A  well-fitted gym  will further compliment the leisure package. A very  popular activity now  a days is offering wellness treatments through a  well-known and branded  spa. People love to spend time in a spa and be  rejuvenated.
The success of a beach hotel depends on the variety  and quality of  restaurants, the cuisine and the entertainment they  provide. Bars and  lounges for the guests to sip a long drink before  dinner compliment the  atmosphere. The bars and restaurants create a  very romantic atmosphere  in the evenings and also have provision for  live music. These activities  add further challenges to the planners and  the developers. The ultimate  quality of experience is more than often  decided by the taste buds.
These are a few important aspects of  what one must consider when  planning a beach. There are many more  aspects like oceanographic  considerations, swimming pools - out doors  and in doors, entertainment  zones, water parks, back of the house area  facilities and technology  etc. that need serious deliberations,  thoughts and satisfactory  resolution for the success of the beach hotel  project...
