Cookies Hotel – Full Review

Overview

Cookies Hotel is a long-running mid-budget hotel right on the beach in the central section of White Sand Beach. It’s one of the cheaper beachfront options, offering older but clean rooms, a small beachfront pool and a relaxed restaurant facing the sand.

If you want beachfront convenience without spending RC Grande or Kacha money, Cookies is one to consider.

Location – Prime Central Beachfront

Cookies sits in a superb spot:

Direct beach access
Two minutes from restaurants, bars and shops
Short walk to the main road for taxis

You do get noise in high season, thanks to being in the busiest part of White Sand, but it comes with the territory.

Atmosphere

Cookies has a casual, slightly retro feel. Think tiled floors, simple furniture, a small pool at the front and a steady stream of people heading to and from the beach.

It’s friendly and informal—popular with budget European couples, older travellers and long-stayers.

Rooms – Basic but Functional

Rooms are split between:

Beachfront building: best location, older rooms, some with partial sea views
Rear building: quieter, slightly fresher rooms, but no sea views

Expect:

Basic beds and furniture
Older bathrooms
Fridge, AC, TV, hot shower
Decent housekeeping but dated interiors

If you’re picky about room design, Cookies probably won’t thrill you. If you mainly care about location and price, it works.

Facilities

Pool

A small beachfront pool with a few loungers. Great for sunset dips, but it fills up quickly during busy times.

Restaurant

The beachfront restaurant serves Thai and Western favourites. Breakfast is simple but decent, and prices are fair for the area.

Other Facilities

Sunbeds on the sand
Tour desk
Basic massage nearby

The Beach

Cookies fronts a lively section of White Sand Beach with:

Soft sand and good swimming
Lots of beach bars and restaurants within a short stroll
Great sunsets

It’s not the quietest bit of White Sand, but it’s very convenient and great for people-watching.

Comparison to Other Resorts

Lagoon Resort: Similar age and style, but Lagoon has a bigger pool.
Mac Resort: More rustic vibe, slightly nicer gardens, similar room age.
Kacha Resort: More modern and with better facilities, but pricier.
15 Palms: Much more stylish but more expensive and quieter atmosphere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Excellent beachfront location
Good value for money
Small but pleasant beachfront pool
Friendly, long-running family operation

Cons

Rooms and bathrooms are dated
Busy and sometimes noisy location
Pool area can feel cramped
Facilities are minimal compared to nearby resorts

Final Thoughts

Cookies Hotel is the definition of “simple but beachfront.” It’s clean, friendly, well located and reasonably priced. Perfect if you want to spend your days on the beach and don’t need modern hotel styling.
