Snorkelling Adventure

The snorkelling experience near Snoopy Island was really good! I was truly amazed by the variety and abundance of sea life. The hotel is perfectly positioned for easy access to this fantastic spot. I can't wait to return!

Charming Beachfront Room

Our ground floor room was perfect! Just steps away from the beach, we enjoyed beautiful tile flooring and lovely wicker furniture. Having a fridge and kettle in the room made it easy for us to have breakfast by the patio. It was an overall excellent setup.

Decent Breakfast Options

The continental breakfast offered a good selection of fresh food and juices. Although I found some of the dining options to be a bit limited and pricey, the quality of the breakfast was satisfactory overall. I appreciated the good start to the day!

Fun Poolside Activities

The kids enjoyed the dedicated pool area with various activities and slides! It was a highlight for our family, allowing the little ones to play safely while we relaxed nearby. A perfect way for families to have fun together!

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 However, the room conditions were outdated and not as clean as expected, which detracted from the overall experience.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.

The resort features a lovely infinity pool with a swim-up bar that is perfect for spending lazy afternoons, but some facilities need investment to enhance the experience.

8.2/10

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.

6.0/10

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.
