Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Sandy Beach Hotel & Resort is often praised for its location near Snoopy Island, providing excellent snorkeling opportunities and a view of colorful fish. Guests appreciate the nice-sized chalets, many including a lovely terrace with a table and chairs, plus the convenience of having a fridge and microwave. While the rooms are generally clean and of a reasonable size, some guests have noted that the bathrooms appear a bit dated. With direct access to the beach and ample sunbeds, it is considered a great unpretentious place, especially for families.

dated bathroom disturbing noise
The bathroom looked quite dated. the shower sliding door did not properly close, a minor inconvenience. i also found that my room was next to a staff and maintenance area so i could clearly hear the door opening and closing at all hours. This was rather disturbing.

shabby decor poor conditions
i found the room lighting dismal. It cast a depressing glow over the shabby decor. THE paint quality seemed very outdated. I was also horrified to discover cockroaches, made me question the hotel's hygiene standards.

Excellent Beachfront Stay

clean rooms reasonable size free coffee snorkeling highlight
The rooms were clean. The room size was reasonable. Free coffee, tea, sugar, and two water bottles were provided. There was a fridge. The bathroom was clean with shampoo, conditioner, and shower bath supplies. Snorkeling was a highlight with colorful fish and turtles visible. The breakfast was decent and the lunch buffet cost AED 89 during Ramadan with good food offered.
The BBQ was filthy and there was a wait to have it cleaned.
Rooms

The room had two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. The decor included neutral tones with minimalist art. The bed had premium quality linens and four pillows and offered a comfortable sleep experience.

The hotel is right on the beach and offers immediate access to water sports. Snoopy Island is located directly opposite the hotel and is accessible for snorkeling. The hotel offers barbecue facilities at each chalet.
