Amazing place to stay. They provide free paddleboarding, washing machine + dryer. Have a rooftop lounge and bar, and a restaurant right next to it. And the price quality is incredible. Definitely a 10/10. The only thing they could do to improve is organizing afternoon/night activities to go to bars and socialize, but the WhatsApp group is also useful for it.

The room was okay—very small, but it had everything we needed. The staff were great and very attentive. The downstairs common area where everyone hangs out and the hallways didn’t smell very good, which was a downside. Other than that, it was an okay place to stay. I would stay again; I’d just bring some Febreze. I’m big on smells.

Room was clean and thoughtfully appointed. We don’t spend a lot of time in the room but the hotel has a great bar and restaurant. We had WiFi and a smart tv that we watched our Netflix on when we were ready for bed. Staff was friendly, other guests were respectful. Pool area is amazing as is the location and the view. Don’t let “hostel” scare you - if you just need a clean, comfortable room to sleep and shower this is perfect! Private room had a queen bed and was about the size of a standard bedroom at home with a decent sized en suite. Stepped out on a little balcony space with chairs and a table and had a fabulous view of the water as well. Lots of stairs though and no elevator so be prepared if that’s not your thing!

Stayed in an 8 woman bunk room. Beds were comfortable and it was pretty quiet except for one woman who snored one night. Bathrooms were very clean, hot water, outlets. Appreciated the WhatsApp messaging that allowed us to team up to partake in day events like snorkeling and Secret Beach. Greatly benefited from the free washer and dryer. About a 7 minute walk to the Caribbean Sprinter water taxi. The attached Sandbar Bar and Grill was fabulous. Will be back!

We spent 10 days at The Sandbar Hotel. Lots of positive aspects. Excellent staff. Clean rooms. Good simple Continental breakfasts each day. Wonderful rooftop swimming pool with the occasional pool party. One criticism would be the out-of-date online photos. The hotel had a huge expansion in the last year or two but some online photos show the older building and a ground level swimming pool and ground level bar and restaurant. Everything looks very different and generally better but old photos are still somewhat deceiving. Some photos show reclining deck chairs in front of the hotel on a dock that are no longer there. One of the reasons we chose the hotel was that it was on a beach with good access to the ocean with deck chairs and there was nothing like that. There are deck chairs on the rooftop by the pool and lots of seating near a rooftop bar. There is a washer and dryer available for guests but the washer is extremely noisy.

Newly renovated so there’s a few old pics if you’re looking on Google. 3rd story private room was nice and clean, ice cold AC. No elevator, no ac in halls, stairwells or main lobby. Nice view from the shared balcony. There’s a great restaurant/bar on the dock right in front of the hotel, very convenient.

We stayed at Sandbar Hostel & Hotel in a private room and had a great experience. The room was excellent value and included strong AC, a safe, large TV, private bathroom, private balcony, and clothing rack. Like many hotels in this category, the shower wasn’t fully enclosed so a bit of water splashed onto the mat, but it was very minor. The bed was comfortable (about an 8/10 for me), and the balcony was perfect for drying beach towels quickly. The rooftop patio was a highlight. Watching the sunset with a cocktail was fantastic, and Juan, the bartender, was excellent. The freshwater pool and variety of seating areas made it easy to relax. Service was outstanding. Allen at the front desk was efficient, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay top notch. Housekeeping was also excellent, with every clean feeling like a full reset. The attached Sandbar restaurant was reliable and open until 11:00 pm, which is rare in San Pedro and a huge perk after diving. Chuck and Robbie’s dive shop is about 100 feet away, and there’s a grocery store (Kmart) right around the corner. We’d absolutely stay here again.

The hostel is less than 15 minutes walking from the ferry pier. The room is without a window and rather small, but very clean. No cleaning as mentioned. The staff is friendly. One gets towels for the beach. The roof top pool is nice. However, the music is very loud. Next door is a pretty good restaurant. No safe in the room which is a disadvantage for a beach vacation.

Wonderful hotel I had third floor private room with balcony, common area downstairs and the restaurant/ bar is a great hangout with nearby diving shops and airport. I left my phone in the Hotel and they shipped it as soon as they found out through the quick local airline from San Pedro to Belize city and got the phone to me while I was boarding my flight back home. Rooftop pool has beautiful views and is nice itself
