Everything about our stay at the Sandbar was wonderful. The room was comfortable and had what we needed. The shared kitchen facilities and lobby area was very good, and well equipped. Daily breakfast offerings, although simple, were just fine. Rooftop pool and bar were fabulous, and the restaurant consistently had great food and service. I would like to recognize a number of the staff, who all played a part in making our stay so great: Front desk - Allen E and Shajira Cleaning - Sheena and Emily Rooftop bar - Antoine and Allen J Restaurant - Allen j, Travis, Brittany and Elton The location was great for a quick walk to the dive shop I use.
