The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Kid Zone

Our family had an amazing time at the Sandy Beach Hotel because of the wonderful children's amenities! My kids absolutely loved the splash pad area. It was the perfect place for them to play and cool off. They also enjoyed the mini water park which kept them entertained for hours while we relaxed nearby. The hotel truly catered to the little ones, making it a stress-free getaway for us parents!

Snorkeling Adventure

One of the highlights of our stay was snorkeling right off the beach at Snoopy Island. The hotel provided convenient rental equipment, and we were thrilled to see so much marine life, including colorful fish and even a few turtles! This experience really made our trip special and added a sense of adventure to our vacation. I highly recommend the leisure activities!

Cozy Accommodations

We booked a standard twin room, and it was both comfortable and clean. The room had a lovely view of the beach, and it was well-appointed, allowing us to relax after a day filled with activities. I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and inviting it felt. It truly enhanced our overall experience at the resort!

Enjoyable Dining Experience

While there were some areas for improvement, I really enjoyed the dinner at the hotel. I had a delicious salmon dish that was well-cooked, and it was nice to dine with a view of the sea. The breakfast, although a bit limited, was decent enough to fuel us for our daily adventures. Overall, our dining experience contributed to the positive atmosphere of our stay.

The resort is a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts and offers a vibrant atmosphere. The location alongside the beach is fantastic, providing a great opportunity for activities like snorkeling and relaxing by the shore. However, the room conditions were outdated and not as clean as expected, which detracted from the overall experience. Although there are good amenities available, some aspects like the breakfast and service could be improved.

Sandy Beach Hotel and Resort offers a charming seaside experience with its proximity to the beach and stunning views of Snoopy Island. The lodge's ambiance is laid-back and relaxing, perfect for a quick getaway. However, some areas feel worn and could use some updates, which slightly detracted from its overall appeal. Dining options are decent, but I felt some dishes were overpriced for the quality provided.

This resort is a charming getaway that eschews the typical glitz of the UAE, offering a more genuine and friendly atmosphere. The beach and snoopy island are stunning, and the pool area is a lovely addition, but the dining experience left much to be desired, particularly the pasta dishes. Despite some dated room styles, everything was spotlessly clean, making it an overall pleasant stay.

Sandy Beach offers a charming setting for gatherings but falls short in room quality and overall value for money. While I enjoyed the pools and the nostalgia of the hotel, the dining experience was underwhelming, and I felt the price didn’t quite justify what was provided. The beachfront location is a big plus, but the outdated rooms need attention to improve guest satisfaction.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort with its prime location right on the beach, perfect for snorkeling right off the sand. The room I had was spacious and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing. The only downside was that breakfast had limited options, but the BBQ facilities were a fun addition. All in all, it's a great spot for an affordable beach getaway.
