TL;DR

When checking in, ask whether the room is close to outdoor AC units, as their hum can be noticeable at night. A ground-floor room is convenient from the beach, and every-other-day housekeeping can work well when sand is tracked inside.

What the community said

Before checking in, request a room away from floors or areas with outdoor AC units: the continuous equipment hum can disturb sleep at night.

Outdoor AC units

A ground-floor room can be especially convenient for beach days, as you can return to the room quickly without stairs or elevators.

Ground floor

In one room, housekeeping was requested every other day; afterwards the floor was clean, towels were fresh and the room had a light floral scent. This schedule is useful when sand is brought in on water shoes.
