What guests think

Reviews of Sandy Beach Hotel & Spa - ex Sentido highlight a friendly team, a relaxing beachfront setting with multiple pools and nightly entertainment, and generally clean spaces, while feedback on room modernity, Wi‑Fi reliability, and dining variety is mixed.

Sea‑view rooms and comfortable beds are appreciated, though several guests note dated decor, noisy air‑conditioning, sound transfer, and in a few cases poor views or low shower pressure. The setting is beachfront but relatively quiet, with buses to Larnaca and the airport; several note little to do immediately outside. Overall, it suits travellers seeking friendly service and a laid‑back seaside base more than those prioritising cutting‑edge rooms or varied dining.

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.

Was in an executive room 543 with a very good sea view and the pools,enjoyed from the balcony. This was an all inclusive 3 night stay ,though we spent most of the day time out.The room was cleaned daily .Good breakfast and dinner served in the Aqua restaurant. Staff were pleasant and private beach and location good.

We are repeat guests of the Sandy Beach Hotel. Christina, Stella and the team are always incredibly welcoming. Kids club is fun and well organised and excellent for getting little ones out of the midday sun. We very much enjoyed the evening entertainment, which included an excellent violinist, a Cypriot night and traditional Greek dancing. Highly recommend.

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.

Lunch och middag hade gärna fått vara mer variation men smakade bra och vällagat. Hotellet är inte alls slitet som vissa andra skrivet, vårt rum var jättefint och de var de två andra rum som vi besökte med. Rekommenderas varmt!

Nous avions réservé une chambre avec vue partielle mer. Nous avons eu une chambre avec vue partielle mer et vue entière toit « degueulasse » j’ai demandé si il était possible de changer- il m’a été répondu que l’on allait étudier ma demande et que l’on revenait vers moi. Le lendemain n’ayant pas de retour je suis retournée voir la personne qui ma répondu qu’elle ne comprenait pas ce que je voulais- Apres une seconde explication elle a regardé son écran et rien n’était possible ! L’hôtel avait l’air d’être loin d’être complet !!!! La restauration n’était pas mauvaise mais loin d’être goûteuse - le buffet tournait toujours autour des mêmes plats ! Pour les entrées nous avons fait une cure de salade ! Cela ne le réconcilie pas avec la demi pension ! Quand à la piscine il serait bon d’établir un règlement afin que tous les transats ne soient pas réservés dès 7h30 ! Pour moi un 3 étoiles mais sûrement pas un 4 !

Les points positifs: emplacement, personnel, piscines. Les points negatifs: a 1760€ la semaine pour 2 en demie pension toutes les boissons sont payantes aux repas même l'eau a 3€ le litre, cest abusé. La climatisation d'un autre temps, même a la plus petite vitesse le bruit est infernal, impossible de dormir sans bouchon d'oreille.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. They are next to a building side and the drilling noise commences at 7am on a Sunday. I paid full board but at check in the reception team did not give me the tag for staff to see this was the case. The room is dated, water pressure in the shower was very low as I was on a higher floor. The food was not good, under cooked potatoes, over cooked beef. And if you arrive on a late flight at night only pizza available and it is rock hard and unpleasant. By far the worst hotel I ever stayed at. I left after one night and told them I was leaving early and they did not even care.

Enjoyable stay with family, had two double bedrooms with beautiful views. AC worked well and staff were great. Breakfast was a bit of a mixed experience but food in general was lovely and worth the money for lunch. Drinks were also good both alcoholic and non. Would definitely return and the kids loved the pools and the kids club. Staff across the board are friendly and helpful with a real relaxed vibe. Some small changes to this hotel and it would easily be a 5 star. The usual drop towels at 6/7am was visible but for the most part there was plenty of beds for all across the hotel either poolside or by the beach. Will definitely return again.

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.
