TL;DR

A move from a standard room to a building nearer the beach is usually possible if rooms are available, with the reception setting an individual price in US dollars. At Concorde El Salam Front, Sea View bookings in buildings 3–4 have sometimes been moved to building 1.

When the hotel is not full, reception may offer a paid move to a more convenient building. There is no fixed rate: the amount is usually quoted on arrival and paid in US dollars.

The building you receive depends mainly on your booked room category and availability on check-in day. Ask for a location close to both the beach and restaurants as soon as you check in.

Reception at check-in

A standard-room booking may already be close to the sea depending on the resort layout; one report notes that standard rooms are located nearer the beach.
