The maps provide a comparative analysis of the Beach Hotel’s layout in the years 2003 and 2013.
Overall, the period witnessed significant transformations, reflecting expansion and modernization of the hotel’s facilities.
In 2003, the Beach Hotel featured a linear arrangement of hotel rooms adjacent to a swimming pool and a restaurant, with a designated seating area positioned to the right of the restaurant. The area was demarcated from the beach by a fence, establishing a distinct boundary. By 2013, the hotel’s spatial organization underwent considerable revisions. Notably, the swimming pool was repositioned to a central location, enhancing its accessibility and visibility. The restaurant shifted to the right, complemented by the introduction of a water sports facility nearby, indicative of a diversification of recreational offerings. Furthermore, the original seating area was relocated to directly adjoin the beach, thus promoting a more immersive coastal experience and effectively abolishing the previous fence.
Additional enhancements included the enlargement of the swimming pool, which now occupies a notably greater area than its predecessor, reflecting an emphasis on leisure activities. The introduction of palm trees around the pool area further contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the hotel environment, creating a more inviting atmosphere. Collectively, these modifications not only signify an increase in accommodation capacity through the addition of another storey to the hotel rooms but also illustrate a concerted effort to foster a vibrant recreational milieu that aligns with contemporary hospitality trends.
