Reviews of Sandbar Beachfront Hostel & Restaurant 3 stars

It is a really good hostel. The dorms are private and bathrooms are very clean and the showers have good power. The common areas are very nice from the main floor to the roof top. And two pillows! I loved this as a long term traveler this was a nice bonus. Also you can do laundry there.

The dorms were crowded, like there is no room to move around.

Super comfy beds. Nice rooms with AC, clean, bathrooms too. Great pool on top of the hostel. Free washer and dryer - amazing! The kitchen was also good, tho there weren't many appliances. Still enough to cook pasta :) The staff was super nice and helpful.

Because of the seagrass it was very smelly outside (in the restaurant and common areas; the room was okay :)). It was generally smelly in the town, but in front of other properties (next to ours) the grass was removed and thrown out. In front of our hostel it was staying a couple of days, getting more smelly every day. Finally they removed it, but I think that it should be done quicker.

They had both a washing machine and a dryer available, and it was super convenient that we could use them for free (you just need to bring your own detergent or buy some at the reception). The view from the pool was also beautiful, and the entire property was very clean and well-maintained.

In the dorm room there was no remote control for the air conditioner, so it was always running. It was quite cold, but we couldn’t adjust the temperature or turn it off

Location, it has a kitchen you can use, staff super friendly, nice rooms and shared areas

How it was kept clean food was and point🙌🙌😎

The workers was great too

The room was a private one, clean, the AC worked wonderful! And being centrally located close for any needs you may have. And the restaurant was amazing.

I can't think of a single thing.

The room was clean and nice.

Honestly, everything was good except there were too many stairs since we were on the 3rd floor.

The staff were great and the room was nice

The pizza we ordered wasn’t that nice the crust tasted like flour and it was burnt a bit

The staff was super nice , big greetings to Them for being so helpful and kind

Really old and not taking care of It’s not dirty , it’s old . You can clean many times but the things are old so it looks dirty The hotel needs an update, rooms are fine but the bathrooms super uncomfortable and old , you can see it reflect in everything, that has not been change in many many years for the look of them . It would be nice just to offer coffee in the mornings for everyone, is not that hard to make little details to keep the client happy They need a change in all senses in the facilities

They were all super friendly and willing to help whenever you needed. Great staff and great experience

I had an incredible stay,the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the amenities were top-notch. Honestly, the photos don’t do this place justice. It’s even more beautiful in person. Highly recommend!

Nothing on this front

Great to have access to free laundry machine, private room with balcony was nice. Useful to have access to kitchen facilities. On arrival we had a slight delay checking in because the previous guests had failed to vacate our room, the manager went above and beyond to look after us in the meantime and gave us a free lunch and drinks which was very kind considering it wasn’t their fault at all!

Could be quite noisy at night.

Restaurant was very nice and staff were lovely

Bit noisy at times with dogs and being on beach area unfortunately bad stench from all the sargassm seaweed. Which isn't hotels fault but would help if they cleaned some of it away.

First and foremost the staff was amazing. There was a pool I didn't expect which was a nice surprise

Those things are not musts but merely suggestions 1. Hooks in the showers 2. Set AC temperature and remove remotes otherwise you're bound to have issues between guests 3. Restaurant food - add more local cuisine dishes

Staffs are friendly and willing to help. The bed is comfortable. The environment is clean. Also the view from the top is nice.

Shortage of papers in the public restroom in early morning.

The location, the staff, cleanliness, amenities—everything! All the island is full of seaweed, but that’s not the fault of the place. The view from the pool is incredible, and it’s close to all the bars and restaurants. They help you with everything, from renting a golf cart to anything else you might need. The restaurant has a wide variety of options, with great prices and generous portions. I had the best experience in Belize! But above all, the best part will always be seeing the kindness and smiles of the people!
