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!
