How we worked this out
These figures are computed, not measured on foot. Walking times use the mapped streets and paths at about 4.8 km/h, with steps counted slower. Driving times use typical road speeds plus time for junctions and parking, so allow extra at busy times. The slope compares the height of the hotel with the nearest beach. "Steep" means an average of 8% or more. Noise counts mapped bars, pubs and nightclubs in a straight line.
