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!
