My family & I liked everything & have just returned from a weeks holiday which was thoroughly enjoyable. The staff, food & beach were just as we hoped.

The food here was dreadful, very very poor quality. The room was not for 5 people - it was for 4 people, and one of our children was squashed into a campbed in the room. The staff at reception were unfriendly and unhelpful.

Food options were good, the pools were nice as was the beach.

From a child's view : It was a really nice place and I enjoyed staying there. I liked the different variety of foods at the main restaurant and the types of food at the other restaurants. I liked all the wild life and nature. I also liked the pools and the shows. I also liked the beach. There are lots of other places to go outside the hotel like Mavroudis Olive Oil Factory and the Aqua Land Water Park. It was a really nice holiday.

Certainly not 4-star luxury experience. Many things could have been overlooked, such as the old plastic cups for the bar, the disgusting drinks that are included with the all inclusive bar, the extremely loud music that is played on a loop right outside of your room at the pool, the people from the spa constantly walking around trying to upsell you while you're lying on your loungers attempting to relax.. but what can't be overlooked is the food, the cleanliness, the bugs and the room quality. I traveled with a baby and after a 2 day flight he was ready to move about, but to my horror after I let him crawl on the floor he was covered in BLACK. The laundry service could not get the stain out (for which I paid) and I couldn't let him move freely the entire 5 days we stayed. Our air conditioner was broken and we inquired to room service about it but was told to just leave the card in the slot so we assumed okay, this is just how it is. I was waking up throughout the night to take cold showers and my baby was sweating profusely, by the 4th night we had to demand something so they changed our room and low and behold, our AC WAS broken & the new room's toilet was broken. The taste of the food leaves much to be desired and worse, the food made my stomach distend so much that a bartender even refused me a drink due to being "pregnant". I felt disgusting on vacation and ended up having to buy food at the nearby restaurants, completely defeating the purpose of the all inclusive.

We arrived at Sandy Beach Hotel after 10 pm May 26. We saw dead and live cockroaches; one escaped from the bathroom into the main area. The room looked ancient, beds were uncomfortable, and we woke with back and neck pain. A musty smell lingered even with windows wide open. Rust was visible throughout the resort. Every meal at the main restaurant was the same low-quality buffet with a foul odor. Juices, wine, and beer from dispensers were disgusting. Pool drinks were poor quality and premium options like mojitos and Aperol were not included in the all-inclusive plan. They claimed to run out of sparkling wine by morning, but that was false. Sunbeds, water slides, and pool stairs were filthy and unsafe for children. At the pool bar and nearby food area, staff had a terrible attitude when asked what was included. When we requested each pizza slice in a separate paper bag, they reacted poorly. This place does not deserve any stars. Calling it a five-star resort is misleading and turned our holiday into a nightmare. If we had known the ratings and reviews were fake, we would never have booked. The animation team made our daughter cry. All kids danced in a show and were told they'd receive surprises, but only Kids Club members got medals. Other resorts give candy, but here they gave nothing. Everything felt cheap: food was abysmal, drinks were terrible, and shows were low-budget. The stage was old plywood painted poorly. Even giving sweets after the disco was too much. No value.

Choice of pools, beautiful sunsets and relaxing environment across the complex

As a family of 5 & having done all inclusive before this stood out in many aspects Teenager entertainment was great the 5:6 staff members were fantastic bit during the day & night Beach & pool areas were good (pools slightly cold) lots of beds Food was good always something to have could be difficult at times to find seats for 5 but the waiters/cleaners always helped & tables were cleaned for you before you sat down. Have no faults & would recommend

Lovely stay with extended family. Staff very kind and helpful. Especially Rania from pool bar. She was so friendly and bubbly and could not do enough for us. Local restaurants nice too

The shower is old, every day the same food. All the food with pork meat, the room service is too late. The bars is not all included, only few drinks was free.

My 3 children and myself loved this resort. Food was excellent with a multitude of variety. Staff were very polite

We stayed at the hotel for 8 days, a family of 5. We liked everything, especially the beach. It's perfect for children. The room was cleaned daily, and the food selection was large and varied. The staff was attentive and polite. There was a sewage smell at the exit of our block, which is perhaps the only downside. The hotel grounds and the beach are clean, they keep an eye on that. If only people didn't behave like pigs and leave their trash behind, it would be even better. The hotel deserves a solid four stars. It's perfect for families with children, but young couples might find it boring. Overall, we were satisfied and think we'll return again.

The structure is visibly old and probably in need of some maintenance but it is very easy to walk around and all services are easy to reach. The personnel is generally good and nice, the cleaning service was definetly below the standard at least for what it concerned our room however, the resort is fairly clean. We had an issue with the AC and it took over 5 days and a second reminder to actually get back to us. The restaurants could introduce some more variety but not much different than many other all inclusive hotels. The pools and the beach are great!

This place is amazing will definitely be coming back can't fault the place

Outdated in some areas. Some very dirty sun loungers around largest pool. They don’t enforce rules around saving loungers; and all we’re normally gone by 9:30 latest. If you’re going to post notices around stating the rules, enforce them! Wouldn’t eat at the “special” one off restaurant again, the main buffet restaurant was far better, and pretty good, breakfast could be better, was cold early on as less people coming in so less turnover of food.

Great family holiday, would recommend to families with children any age.

Food poisoning central. Beds with mattress springs coming out. Ants and insects swarming rooms. Brown water from sink taps. Charged 5* tax on arrival.. absolutely disgusting. The place needs downgrading to 2-3 star tops. Absolutely vile.

Accommodation and food both reasonable. Leisure activities were poorly executed. 50% more sun-beds required and a cap on the squawking of the 'animation' team around the pool. I imagine many others like me were there to be relax rather than deafened with repetitive music and shouted at in the hope I'll join some game / pay for an extra activity

I wouldn't return there

Just came back after spending 2 weeks in Corfu. One in Labranda Sandy Beach and one in Major Capo Di Corfu - paying almost same per week. Considering that, quality of Capo Di Corfu is higher. Overall labranda Sandy beach is a nice big hotel, pools and beach are amazing and ideal for families with kids, food at a la carte restaurant are excellent and staff are great. But: rooms are outdated, mattress -al least in block 7 -are old and need urgent replacement, you can feel the strings on the mattress and the 4 adults came back with back pain. In addition, rooms are connected to next room with blocked doors, and nothing to stop the noise, we could hear next room people snore and fart- our kid was waking up many times per night. food in main buffet is repetitive - almost no beef in 1 week- and neither there nor in Bars there were options of healthy drinks : only Pepsi sugar free and no natural juices. Everything else from concentrate and full of sugar. I think overall hotel is good, specially for families with kids but cannot think about going back just because the quality of mattress and noise from next room didn’t allow us to have good rest.
