Don’t Be Misleaded Again - Hotels Claiming To Be ‘beachfront’ Often Aren’t

Jan. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- This problem can now be overcome with a few clicks of the mouse, thanks to new technology.  The Beachfront Club has meticulously mapped every (or nearly every) ‘true beachfront hotel on the planet’, offering an almost indisputable guarantee of finding you accommodations directly on any beach you want.  

‘True beachfront’ is defined by this new-look hotel club as hotels that have absolutely no roads nor motorised traffic between their rooms and the sand or water.  Non-beachfront hotels that have misled guests in the past with fancy advertising, or by simply refusing to show the roads in front, are now getting their payback – no amount of fancy wording will get them onto this club’s carefully checked maps.  

The detailed maps here outline each qualified hotel by its boundaries, thus displaying the size, shape and precise location of each one – always on the beach or waterfront.  The satellite image lies right underneath giving additional proof of location.  Hotels that have any motor traffic, even small motorcycles, between their rooms and the beach have been disqualified, and are simply not shown.  All of The Beachfront Club’s mapped hotels are thus guaranteed to be absolutely on the beach.

Though completely new, this new beachfront hotel finder claims to have discovered over 8,000 of the world’s true beachfront hotels and resorts in over 400 destinations in 106 countries.  The beta version now available displays those hotels, but until the hotels themselves register and upload information, there is only minimal information available about each.  But there is a link the hotels’ own websites.

Because their qualifications are strictly geographic, this is surely the most democratic of all hotel clubs on-line.  Members range from budget bungalows in the remote islands of Thailand to glitzy, 5-star resorts in the Caribbean and The Med.  Perhaps the most powerful aspect of their maps is what they do not show…all hotels that do not have direct access to the beach have been completely eliminated, whatever their class or rating.

The Beachfront Club says it will soon introduce restaurant members – again only those right on the beach or waterfront, along with ratings and reviews of its both members and of the beaches themselves.  Many other interactive innovations are promised.  But for now the detailed maps in this site make it the surest, most confident path to finding accommodations that will allow you to sleep to the sound of waves, not traffic.
