Loved the room with AC and cubicle beds shelve and private light. Clean toilets and spacious showers. Very quiet despite the often noise bar. Close to activity shops like; snorkelling, diving, kite surfing, etc. Wish some guests would respect the hospitality of those charming locals.

We were greeted with a nice and thorough explanation and tour of the property at check in. The bed in the room was very comfy and the view of the ocean from the room was spectacular. The pool was a nice hang out spot and we even had access to the pool and facilities of the hostel/hotel behind it. Would stay again!

This was our second time staying here and we were not disappointed. The people are amazing that work there and even their tour company that they use is amazing! Belize celebrity tours! If you are looking to spend all your time outside your room this place is perfect! All you need all in one! We will definitely be staying again on our next trip!

This was my 3rd trip to San Pedro and I have stayed at Sandbar each time. I don't even look for another place to stay. Why would I? I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay each time. The staff is great and so is the location. Each time I have returned I have noticed several upgrades. I can't wait for my next trip there!

good deal
4-night trip

8/10

It’s probably the best option if you’re not staying in a top luxurious resort. All the other hotels in San Pedro looked lame and dated, whilst this hostel was groovy and smack on the beach front. Good drinks. The food sucked, but there’s plenty of great food options walking distance.
2-night trip

6/10

The place is in proper downtown, close to the restaurants. The restaurant has amazinnggg food! What threw me off was that their dogs were allowed to pee and poop where we were eating, which is gross! Most of the staff was very very nice except Jamhil, who was very very rude and had a horrible attitude. Overall, average stay.
4-night trip

8/10

It is a good property, the standard of cleanliness is good although the coffee pots at the bar could use a wash with detergent instead of a cold water flush. Room and washroom were clean and comfortable and the food was excellent. There is a very strong smell Od cat urine around the lounge area especially from the couches.
