Beachfront is a filing label for hotels the record places on the coast. It is not a promise of a private beach, a lounger or a walk of any particular length. Bulgaria is the only country with pages so far. Pick the country, then the resort, and read the hotel page before you treat a tag as a fact.
What beachfront means here
The hotel file uses the type key beach. The public URL uses beachfront, on purpose, so the address matches the way the content plan names the hub. A hotel tagged with that key is eligible for this page and for the Bulgaria beachfront page. The tag is a classification. It does not, by itself, state a distance.
A distance is a separate fact. It appears on a hotel page only when the record has a metre figure and a source. If you do not see the figure, the directory has not confirmed it. Do not read the word beachfront as a substitute. Some coastal hotels are tagged and still have no published distance. Both can be true.
This page is the country chooser. With one country live, the choice is short. The Bulgaria list is the working set. Later countries will be added as their own blocks on this same URL, not as a rewrite of the Bulgarian pages. The type key stays beach in the data file. Only the slug changes in the address.
Bulgaria
The hotels are on beachfront hotels in Bulgaria. That page is the full tagged set, not a ranking. Resorts with their own place pages include Sunny Beach, Nessebar and Golden Sands. Open the resort when the town is the decision. Open the country type page when the coast matters more than the town.
A hotel can sit on more than one place tag. The card shows the places that have a published hub. A small neighbouring name with no hub of its own is not given a dead link. The hotel page still exists. Start from Bulgaria if you want every listed hotel, coastal or not.
How to choose a country
Choose Bulgaria if the trip is the Black Sea and the directory's current file is enough. There is no second country to compare yet. Turkey, Greece, Spain, Italy and the United States are named in the architecture and are not published. An empty country block would not help you choose, so it is not drawn.
Inside Bulgaria, choose a resort from the links above when you already know the stretch of coast. Sunny Beach and Nessebar are not the same place page, even when a booking site uses one airport for both. The place name on the hotel card is the directory's place, not the airport's city.
If the board matters as much as the coast, use the board list as a second filter. A combination page exists only where the plan has that URL and at least one hotel matches, or where copy has been written for an empty combination. Do not assume every resort has every combination. The finder sends you to the place when the combination is not a page.
What the hotel page is for
The hotel page is where a sourced fact is allowed to appear. This hub does not copy star categories or boards into a paragraph, because those claims have to sit next to their source on the hotel. Use the facts box. If a line is missing, it was not verified. The word for a missing line is an omission, not a guess.
Photographs on hub pages are landscapes of real places. They are not pictures of the hotels. Hotel photography is still marked as coming later. Do not read a coast picture as a view from a room.
Booking goes through `/book/` on the hotel page. In this prototype the redirect target is the hotel's official site, because a partner URL has not been connected. This country chooser does not take a booking. It only helps you pick the list that contains the hotel.
Questions
Which countries have beachfront hotels here?
Bulgaria is the only country with beachfront hotels in this directory. No other country block is published on this page yet. The hotels themselves are listed on the Bulgaria beachfront hub, which is the page to open after you choose the country.
Does beachfront mean the hotel is on the sand?
It means the hotel is filed under the coast type. A distance in metres is a different fact and is shown only when the record has a source. If the facts box has no distance, this directory has not confirmed how close the hotel stands to the beach.
Why is the address beachfront when the data says beach?
The content plan uses the word beachfront in the public URL. The hotel file still stores the shorter type key, beach. The build maps that key onto the beachfront slug, so the shorter key is never published as its own path.
Where should I start in Bulgaria?
Start with a resort if you already know the town, or with the country beachfront list if you do not. Sunny Beach and Nessebar each have their own place page. After that, open the hotel page and read only the lines that carry a source.
