You can take advantage of recreational amenities such as an outdoor pool, an outdoor tennis court and a sauna. Additional features at this hotel include complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and babysitting (surcharge).
Regarding the MAIN pool.... diving and jumping into the pool, using floats and pool balls or boisterous behaviour..... is not allowed. Pure and simple.
As both a swimming instructor myself and as a customer, I can understand this rule on a number of points. ....
Sandy beach is however a place of calm, with people treated like adults, which makes this year our second visit to Sandy Beach (and the third visit to their hotel group).
And btw there were plenty of kids who seemed to be enjoying themselves. Infact I’d say that many a kid had more quality engagement with their parents as a result of the calmness. It was nice to see.
As before... and like so many other people…: I’ve worked incredibly hard this past twelve months... off the charts.... so when I go on holiday I simply need some peaceful quiet down time, with good food and drink alfresco plus a clean pool. All key points on why we came back to Sandy Beach again and will do so next year.
The service is great... always with a smile, the staff working incredibly hard and very open to the requests we have made over extra pillows, mattress topper, taxi calling, preferred place to sit for dinner etc. And we also noticed that the pool staff are so attentive to the elderly and those with additional needs.
We love the fact that we have to present our keycard for service instead of horrid wrist bands.
We love the fact we get served our drinks
We love the fact that we get to have proper glasses for drinks
Please don’t change any of this Sandy Beach !!!
(In contrast, 4 years ago we tried an ALTERNATIVE hotel that had lousy inclusive wrist bands, an hourly scrum at the messy self service drinks area, horrid paper cups for nearly every drink, forced eating inside, incredibly dangerous running for pool loungers at daft o’clock in a morning.... clock watching on the pool usage. horrid.. It’s not what we want,)
But Sandy Beach is what we want - just as it is.
Top tip btw is a trip to the lighthouse area (10 euros each way) where there are some nice shops and eateries.
Ahh well. Back to the grind stone
Perfect holiday from start to finish. I could go on forever, but to summarise the hotel is fantastic. The team are brilliant - especially with people with mobility issues. This wasn’t us, but they were so attentive to others with mobility needs. The staff are super friendly. The food is fantastic. We were there for ten days and only ate out twice. Such a big variety. Rooms were lovely - we upgraded and it was well worth it. Much bigger room.
Would highly recommend this hotel.
Located near the beach, very spacious rooms, breakfast and dinner were excellent, plenty of sunbeds at the pool. Gym was adequate.
Wonderfull hotel! Lovely pool for the little one to play in. Clean rooms, quality beds, amazing food! But what stood out was the friendliness and helpfullness of the staff: from cleaning and maintenance staff, cooks, receptionists, lifeguards and most especially waiters and waitresses in the restaurants and pool bar: they would help with any request as quick as they could! Extra food, towels, pillows, baby cot, high chair. The all inclusive is 100% recommended, it made sure we always had so many options of food for the little one and when asked, we were allowed to take some food and drinks from the buffet for the baby. We didn’t visit the pool bar, but I heard the waffles and treats were delicious as well Also super handy while traveling with a messy little one: free use of 2 washing machines and dryers!
My wife came down with vomiting and diarrhoea whilst staying at this hotel which led to us checking out two days earlier than planned.
