Sandy Beach continues to be our GoTo’ hotel for our annual Cyprus visits. We stayed there for 10 days last month(June2025) and we had an amazing and relaxing time. The food, the service the facilities are all fantastic. Kudos to Christina and Stella for doing a superb job accommodating our requests.

I have visited the Sandy Beach hotel many times since 2000 but not returned for about 12 years. I was surprised it had not changed at all but in fact looked old and in need of a significant update when compared to alternatives nearby. Breakfast options were all limited compared to more modern hotels in the area and the beach, whilst Sandy, is course and dark making the sea look less desirable than say, Protaras.

Happy Stay at Sandy Beach

We stayed for a week for our son’s wedding. The hotel was very hospitable and the staff welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed the excellent breakfasts, easy access to the sea and the swimming pool. On a hot evening, the bar was a good place to congregate. Transport links to the airport are good, car hire is across the road. For variety, there is a range of excellent restaurants, but the hotel does theme nights such as Greek dancing.

Friendly staff, calm, relaxing atmosphere with lots of places to sit depending on your mood. Pools are a welcome refreshing plung when you are cooked from sitting in the sun. Plenty of beds and loungers all with parasols. Beach is just a short walk in the hotel grounds, with shallow water perfect for swimming. Rooms are clean and tidy with staff refreshing them each day. Would recommend.

Two nights during a six night vaycay around beautiful Cyprus. Make front desk staff were a bit off. Similarly with the restaurant managers. Female restaurant staff member deserves praises for being kind and attentive. Hotel was very quiet and standard room has a very large comfortable bed. But looks out onto storage / garbage area. They put us on the 4th fooor so it wasn’t a big problem. But given how quiet the hotel was with very few other guests, it would have been a nice touch to impress us with a better room. Breakfast was great. The evening meals looked bad, and overall the restaurants in the evening smelled like hospital food. Location definitely requires a car. But the hotel does provide info on regular buses. I kinda enjoyed the stay. My girlfriend certainly didn’t.and wouldn’t go back to this hotel or recommend it. It was booked because we had a reward night. Of it wasn’t for that our Money could have been better spent on nicer hotels for the same cost.
