Excellent space for a few nights. The restaurant bar/lounge is fantastic with very reasonable prices. Tip- bring earplugs for better sleeping. Two thumbs up 👍
Shelly, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

The dorm rooms are great if they are not crowded. My first 4 nights were great. My last night the room got packed with really messy people but that’s hostel life. The staff is all amazing and super helpful. The common area is a great place to hang out. It’s super close to everything basically. You just have to get lucky with roommates.

The staff were fantastic!!! The food was excellent, our room was perfect. Pool was so nice to have to lounge. Everyone was so friendly helpful and very watchful of both myself and daughter. Always checking on us making sure we were good. Was so safe. Totally recommend to anyone. I will be back…
Amanda, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I wish I found the Sanbar sooner, I probably would have stayed here my whole 7 nights in Belize. It's on the sand, facing the beach, walking distance from the water taxi drop off. There's a kitchen for residents, the pool was beautiful at night, hammocks. It shares a pathway with the DriftInn that has the hot tub.
Alex, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

I love this place!
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!
