TL;DR
Recent reports say the sandy beach has a limited selection: mostly a bar, fruit, ice cream, and sometimes pastries or fries, with some items possibly extra. The coral beach is better stocked, often with a small buffet including salads, hot dishes, vegetables, and fruit.
On July 9, travelers reported a new bar opened by the pool beach area, serving Ritsa burgers and pancakes, addressing complaints about a lack of sweet snacks.
On July 13, a guest noted fresh-squeezed juices and salmon are served at breakfast, and mango was available on the beach during their stay, unlike at Jungle Aqua Park.
On July 17, a traveler hadn't heard about beach renovations and found green plum and something resembling kebab with bread among the snacks on arrival day.
On July 17, guests clarified that soft-serve ice cream used to be available on the beach last year but is gone now; ice cream is currently only offered at lunch and dinner in individual boxes.
As of July 5, travelers reported that snacks on the sandy beach were very basic, while the coral beach had a small buffet with salads, hot dishes, fruit, and vegetables. It is much smaller than the main restaurant, but you can still have a proper bite there.
On July 2, guests said there was no ice cream at the club beach even though it used to be available. Food was limited to buns and very basic snacks, with nothing more substantial.
On June 28, travelers said there was food at the beach but with a limited selection; the quality was decent, and there were two coffee machines. Juice available on the way to the beach was believed to be an extra-charge item.
On June 23, guests reported that the beach mainly had just a bar, and the food was leftover breakfast pastries such as doughnuts and puff pastries. In other words, do not expect a full lunch directly on the sandy beach.
On June 21, the only specific free snack that got positive feedback was French fries at the beach. For guests who did not want a full meal, that was enough, but overall choice remained minimal.
On June 19, travelers specifically asked whether the beach kiosks serving baked potato, sandwiches, and shawarma were included, because the all-inclusive status was unclear. The discussion did not produce a clear confirmation that these items were free.
On June 16, guests were asking about non-alcoholic drinks and fruit: reports suggested drinks were available at the beach and fruit was served separately, but the popular juice that used to be praised may no longer have been offered.
On June 15, travelers said the sandy beach did not have proper snack food. Paid items mentioned were drinks, fruit, and ice cream, so it was better not to count on free food there beyond the most basic options.
