Great hotel... very clean, laid back vibe, great pool on the rooftop, with a nice bar/ lounge area. The bartender (Antoine) was awesome! The restaurant is very good too! Free breakfast every morning at 8am, and a sweet cat (Boots). All the reception personnel are very friendly and helpful as well!!!

My private room with a balcony was comfortable and clean. Loved the continental breakfast which included papaya and watermelon, coffee, pastries and cereal. The bar was a great place to hang for a drink in the evenings. I connected with various travelers, booked a snorkeling trip to Hol Chan and shark alley and did a sunset catamaran cruise. I will likely return to Belize and stay at Sandbar.

The hostel itself was great! Modern, clean, comfortable and even the shared dorms had some resemblance of privacy. The staff were all absolutely amazing and great to talk to as well, they made me feel right at home. Some of the features that stood out were the restaurant onsite and the roof top pool, both of which were excellent. I would recommend this place to literally everyone and I will definitely be staying here again next time I vacation back to Belize!

We add a room with 2 beds and a bathroom with A/C and a fan. Everything was clean and confortable. It's a great hostel! We can get water from the 5 gallons bottle and cook your food if you wish to. Otherwise, their restaurant is very good! Expect a small breakfast that changes everyday. I would definitely recommend the place.
