TL;DR
Building 4 (e.g. room 4414) offers bay views and easy beach access. Club rooms in buildings 1–3 are overpriced with no clear advantage.
Consider the West Bay Premium category (16+): the building is close to the sea, the restaurant is also nearby, with sea views and a convenient location.
If choosing between Xanadu and Club, the main Xanadu building is farther from the beach, but its food is generally considered better. Club buildings are newer and more convenient for the beach and activities, while the overall infrastructure is shared between the zones.
If you want to stay closer to the sea, the Gold Bracelet option is worth considering: it includes accommodation on the first beachfront line, access to more restaurants, and a 24/7 bar.
ROB Deluxe pool-view rooms are not in one fixed area: their exact position depends on the building you get. In general, they are described as being roughly midway between the beach, reception, and restaurant.
When choosing between club rooms and Fun Sun rooms, use the hotel map to compare walking distance to the beach and main restaurant for each building.
Rooms near the reception desk are conveniently close to the main restaurant and sea access — worth factoring into your room choice.
Skip the premium rooms in buildings 1–3. Building 4, room 4414 has great bay views and is steps from beach #1. The promenade nearby is perfect for evening walks exploring neighboring hotels and shops.
Walking along the promenade from building 4, you can reach the Mahoney seafood restaurant and a Fix Price market with noticeably lower prices than street stalls. If you buy a lot, hotel taxis can help carry it back.
