Dinner

If you plan on staying at the Sandy Beach Hotel & Resort, dinner options might be a point of concern. While some guests say that the food is good or even amazing, others feel that there is room for improvement. The a la carte menu, in particular, receives praise for its delicious options. However, the limited restaurant options and the fact that meals can be quite costly may be a drawback for some visitors. It's worth noting that unless you have access to a Chalet, you'll be restricted to the restaurant's offerings. Additionally, if you want to enjoy a late meal, you may need to plan ahead, as the restaurants close at 11 pm with no fast food establishments in the vicinity. Overall, the consensus seems to be that the quality of the food could vary, but there are still tasty options available depending on your preference.

Rooms

Some rooms are not yet renovated and some guests find them overpriced for the quality provided.
