The location was good, close to bars, restaurants, supermarkets. It is opposite the sea. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Free water. There is a shared kitchen to use but the restaurant also has nice food and reasonable prices. Good WiFi. Easy to meet people here. Beds were comfortable in the dorm rooms and private with a curtain and bed side light and shelf.

Dorm room was small. Lots of mosquitoes in the kitchen area. There is building work going on at the moment which I knew about and it didn’t spoil my stay. I think this hostel will be even better once they have finished the extension and pool etc.

It was the only hostel in San Pedro and it was significantly cheaper than any alternative available on the island, so my expectations were pretty low. However, I can say that it absolutely surpassed my expectations in every way. It was really clean, the staff were nice, the restaurant is really good and the way that the bunk beds are set up are really more like pods. This allows you to have complete privacy and it feels a lot less invasive than a normal hostel. Also, it is not a party hostel, so people were really respectful. They provide towels, free filtered water and lockers which was also greatly appreciated.

Beds have privacy curtains. There is a large locker underneath the bed that should hold all your things. Bring your own lock. The whole place is cleaned frequently. There is a shelf and light next to the bed. Staff is nice. They will hold your luggage before/after checkin/out. There is a restaurant that looks at the water. Don't have to buy anything to sit there, but the food is very good. There is free water. Wifi is pretty decent. Bed was medium firm and comfortable. The sheets are unscented - for those who are sensitive to scent. A/C works well.

Things to know - There is construction next door, so can be noisy. They give a discount on the rate for this. The shower doesn't have enough hooks to hold your clothing and towel. They share a refrigerator with the hostel behind them. It gets messy and crowded. No social events, but everyone is pretty friendly

1) A superb location smack-bang on the beach in San Pedro. 2) Excellent staff, passionately helping out with every question that you may have. 3) The dorms had charge-points, lights and a dressing area with soft lights. 4) Gave me access to a sister property to run a google meet call when this property became noisy. 5) Empathetic restaurant staff who helped me figure out vegetarian food choices.

1) The dorms were a little crowded and tomb-like. 2) Too much noise at times from the restaurant. 3) A little cramped. 4) Bathrooms need an overhaul with better design for hanging and keeping stuff, the showers and toilets can be a bit unclean and the floors icky due to overuse.

It was close to the water so I could take a walk in the evening if I wanted to. The convenience of the Sandbar restaurant being right there was great because after a full day of activities, I can just go to my room and freshen up for a bit and not walk far for good food. There were also suggestions for near by restaurants that was walking distance. There was construction going on, but they were nice to give a bit of a discount for my stay.

Nothing much. It was a good stay, just needed to stay out near the air conditioner to cool off before going into bed, otherwise I stay hot for a while, but that’s a personal problem and not the property.

My partner and I loved our stay at Sandbar, we found the beds very comfortable and slept very well. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the restaurant area was lovely to hang out in. The food was also very good! The location is fab too, everything is very accessible.

The hostel was undergoing renovations, which was a little disruptive - there were workmen in the women’s bathroom the majority of our first couple of days there. We were made aware of this prior to arrival though, we’d love to stay again when the renovations are finished.

Best part is the very helpful and friendly front desk and restaurant staff. Also recommend you book your tours with the front desk, good tours at good prices. Booked a golf cart and delivery and return were direct to hotel at same prices as elsewhere. No issues with construction noise. Super convenient having a restaurant right there, and Palapa Bar is right there if you want something different.

In the triple room with a bunk above, hit my head a few times. Bathroom is good but minor point no hooks or rail to hang towels and clothes inside the bathroom. Due to construction not serving breakfast.

I really liked the location, right across from the palapa bar that had amazing fish swimming around it all day and a beautiful bull shark came to visit two nights in a row!! The restaurant attached to the sandbar was actually very good aswell. Friendly staff, and a stones throw from the ocean.

The only bad thing about the hostels was the washrooms were cramped with not very good water pressure / privacy. But while I was there they were renovating them, so I'm sure they will improve!

-The dorm I stayed in was spacious enough and had comfortable beds with curtain, light, locker and socket -Enough toilets + showers (at least when I was there I never had to wait) -BEST SHOWERS I had in months -WiFi worked well (also in the dorm) -Nice outside/patio + pool area -Good location in San Pedro close to the ferry dock, shops, restaurants and the center -Free drinking water -Very friendly and helpful staff -Good on-site restaurant with very attentive staff -I understood there’s a renovation upcoming, so I’ll guess it will only be better when they’re done!

-One suggestion for the renovation: Bunkbeds in which you can sit up straight (as I was bumping my head all the time)

The dorms are so nice! They are designed really well and have privacy curtains. They’re designed as two stackable wooden capsules almost. Very spacious lockers. Bathrooms are shared but clean. Right on the beach and close to the main strip

The hostel was cheaper than normal as they are doing construction. As a result there really wasn’t any sociable areas (other than the restaurant but it’s popular so it’s not really a place to meet people). It’ll be amazing when the renovation is done
