The place is a good spot to be next to beach, Staff are extremely good people. And the food is good.  Everywhere is clean my is having white bed sheets and the bath rooms are clean I can eat there because is clean

To Susan and all the staff:Thank you all so much for looking after us during our short stay.Although we were not there for long this time,you made sure that everything possible was ready for us on arrival and,as always,nothing was too much trouble. A wonderful place!We want to say a HUGE thank you .....and please take great care and stay safe.

THANK YOU !

We stayed here as a large group of university students on a study tour in January 2020.  Although we had a very late  check in all went smoothly and we were checked in quickly and efficiently.  The rooms are comfortable and well maintained, the staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming, and the location near to the beach is excellent. 

A great welcome

We celebrated a birthday and were treated to a very special breakfeast. The people working at Sand Beach are extremely nice, helpful and friendly.

Sand Beach Hotel is quiet, spacious, and very relaxing – the photos do not really do it justice.  There’s a genuine African feeling, it’s not just an American style hotel.  The large pool is kept clean and has plenty of space and loungers around it.  It was never even slightly crowded – and lovely for swimming.Our villa was spacious with bedroom, bathroom, and a lounge area with settee bed and alcove with sink.  Furniture and fittings are more safari camp than luxury.  Some villas have a pleasant view over the pool area, but none has a sea view.  No toiletries were provided , except a bar of soap.In general, you have to ask for what you want, because things are not provided as standard, and staff seem not to notice if things are missing or broken.  The staff were generally friendly ( a little too friendly at times), helpful and willing, but you have to ask.Breakfast was poor quality, with little choice, often missing essential items from the self-service tables.  We had to ask for serviettes (napkins) every day.  Nicely cooked eggs, sausage etc, but no menu to muse over.  Not good value for money (breakfast was included in the room rate, which is relatively high for the area).The restaurant is very laid back, excellent tasting food, some surprises, and it was usually very good.  Reasonably priced, good value compared with local restaurants.The spa treatments were excellent. The practitioner seemed to have been trained to a very good standard.

Quiet and relaxing

My second visit to Sand Beach and its like coming home !!
Staff very friendly and helpful.
The rooms do need a bit of TLC but its clean and comfortable - who wants to be in their room when the beach is a few steps away !!!
Relax at the pool where its peaceful or take a short walk along the beach or a short taxi ride to the Senegambia strip for more entertainment.
Live music and lots of resturants serving local and european dishes.
The new Baniaba resturant is lovely with a good menu for eating in.

Second visit

We had to stay here one night as our hotel had made a mistake.
The staff were lovely and most helpful, but the hotel is tired and in need of a complete overhaul. Our apartment was falling apart and one night was definitely enough. If I’d booked here for the week I would have had to look for something else.
No fridge, no glasses, no plates or anything in the kitchen.
Breakfast in the morning was disappointing to say the least.
The bed was noisy and so uncomfortable.
I gave a two stars because of the staff, otherwise it would have been a one.

Tired buildings 

This is partly also a business hotel, so if you are looking for just a holiday hotel with music at the pool and entertainment in the evening this is not the right place for you.
If you like a place not too busy and situated at a great beach than go for it.
This is Africa, so don't look at details. If there is anything you need or change just tell the friendly staff and they will sort it out for you.
Breakfast is simple but enough.This year there is an Italian chef who cooks well. The reataurant in the evening is moved to the Banta bar which is a great improvement.
I stayed in a hotel room . These are big enough with a big bathroom and a good airco,. also fridge and safe are avaiable. It is depending on your travel agent is you have to pay extra for this. Beware of the fact that in winter months it can be cool in the evening, night and morning
