Beachfront options offer immediate sea access and lively views but can be closer to crowds. Hillside retreats provide more privacy and expansive scenery, but may require steeper walks or longer transfers. Consider how you’ll get around and how much time you’re willing to spend commuting to beaches or attractions.
