    I think they all are from Bromeliaceae family

    I believe the plant in the first two photos is Stromanthe sanguinea 'Triostar,' which is in the Marantaceae (arrowroot) family. The third plant is Aechmea fasciata, which is a bromeliad.

    I agreed with 1. and 3. !!!!!! I think 2. is not the 1. Leaves are different, they are covered. I post another picture for that plant.I saw all these three plants outside of hotel at waterfront

    Ah. Yes. #2 is a bromeliad of some sort, though I'm unable to identify which. If forced to guess, I would guess Aechmea or Vriesea.
