Sandy Beach Hotel and Resort

the Hotel got amazing spot on the Indian ocean, with small coral Infront of the beach which makes snorkeling nice experience. Romm's bit old but well maintained, and comfortable beds. Food is good, and the family atmospere all around is fantastic.

The rooms are very, very dated. Not worth the money. Facilities are kids friendly and can keep them well entertained. Restaurant food is strongly below average.

The main attraction to stay at Sandy Beach is access to Snoopy Island (100 meters off the coast) where there is good snorkeling to be had (especially at low tide). Mostly used by residents who bring their own food (those staying in chalet or bungalows equipped with small kitchenettes, BBQ, garden table and chairs). Restaurant food is not great, service laid back and not super attentive. Still it makes a good family week end destination for the snorkeling experience, away from the more usual five stars hotel in the UAE. If coming from Dubai, you can make a stop on the way to Wadi Shawka for example for a trail walk / run before heading to Sandy Beach hotel...

Great location and facilities. Everything is accessible quickly and easily by car then walking (even with kids). Only improvements would be the service time at the restaurant and more choices in menus.

Excellent dive center, restaurant food is delicious, although portions are quite small. Would love to see dietary restrictions indicated on the menu, but there are good options for most people. Rooms are large and clean. This is a family/kids hotel, maybe not so suitable for couples. There is only one pool and it is overrun with kids. :-)

Good location, beautiful beach, well kept rooms and garden. Good for a family get together
