Great view of the beach. The sitting area is fun and cozy. The food was good with reasonable price.
The room was a bit expensive to what you get. Shower was small.

Das Personal war sehr bemüht für uns ein Zimmer zu finden, was halbwegs passabel war. Das Hotel liegt direkt am Strand, welcher aber nicht wirklich zum Schwimmen geeignet ist. Hier surft man.

Questions about Sandy Beach Hotel

What time is check-in and check-out at Sandy Beach Hotel?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Sandy Beach Hotel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Sandy Beach Hotel?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Is breakfast included at Sandy Beach Hotel?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Sandy Beach Hotel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Sandy Beach Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at Sandy Beach Hotel?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book Sandy Beach Hotel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
