Best Margaritas on the Beach!
Adrienne O.

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The margaritas are perfection, their service is excellent - Gina was just wonderful- their food is mouthwatering!! The Ambience is the show stopper with turquoise ocean views at all angles! And then after all that, we one of the most amazing massages of my life in their upstairs oceanfront massage Spa. Treat yourself!!

Came here for massages. My group and I found this place online and booked while on our cruise ship in port via the WhatsApp app. We all booked one hour massage. We all agree this was by far one of the best massages we have ever had! Best price too. Bring cash for a tip. You will leave feeling amazing! Elizabeth was my masseuse and she literally worked out so many knots and even cracked my back. Felt so good! Much needed and so appreciated. Would highly recommend when in Cabo.

I really wanted to like this spot for a great massage but it was lacking. First of all it is in a building upstairs from the beach. It is not in the beach as advertised. The price is epic, $51 for a 90 minute massage, but the massage is more similar to my wife rubbing my shoulders. You must change in the bathroom, remove all of your clothes and wrap a towel around yourself then walk through a crowd to get to your table. If together with someone else there is no guarantee that you will be near one another. You are massaged in the open among the other customers and the crowd. Finally you go to a small dressing room, Put your clothes on and are sent in your way. I personally recommend looking elsewhere for a more personalized, private and better massage.

Only 5?

I was yelping a good burger place in Cabo and this place popped up which is right next to our hotel! Great! They also have a massage which was more inexpensive compared to the massage place that we frequent. I could see from my balcony that this place has more customers. The other place said Sand Bar only changes their sheets and towels after serving 5 customers while they change their sheets every visit. I bought it but I don't think that's true. Anyway, back to my food review. The burgers were massive. We also ordered oysters, calamari and fish and chips. Ate on the balcony on the beach with a beautiful full red moon. Service was polite and hospitable. Excellent dinner! Next time we're here, I'm gonna try their massage.

My husband and I booked a 90-minute four-hands massage ($105) for our anniversary. Talk about relaxing and simply heavenly! The ocean breeze and the sound of the waves made it an unforgettable experience. Whenever we visit Cabo, a massage at The Sandbar is always on our itinerary. This was our first time trying a four-hands massage, and wow -- once you try it, you'll never want to go back to just two hands. The massage itself definitely deserves 5 stars. However, I'm giving 3 stars overall because we didn't get the full 90 minutes we paid for. Our appointment was scheduled for 11:00 a.m., and we arrived early at 10:40 a.m. Unbeknownst to us, they started the clock when we checked in at 10:40 a.m. After the massage, I got dressed and checked my watch -- it was 12:09 p.m. That's when I realized we had been shorted on time. When I brought this up, they explained that the session started when we checked in. I really dislike this policy. Even if they counted from 10:40 a.m., it still doesn't add up to a full 90 minutes, especially since 12:09 was after I had already gotten dressed. It was disappointing to feel like we were cheated out of part of the experience. For the quality of the massage, I'd happily give 5 stars, but the time issue is a big letdown -- especially on a special occasion like our anniversary.

Love the view

Stopped in Cabo while on a cruise and researched this place beforehand. Wife and I booked 90 minute massages ($51 each) with a reservation for brunch to follow. Everything was amazing. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent views right on the beach. Highly recommend!

Evening Sand Bar vibes

Love me some Sand Bar!!! Right over the beach, great staff, good food (see below), and they rescue dogs!! The owner has over 100 dogs at his farm he rescues .. at any time there are free roaming dogs special to the owner that he's rescued around the restaurant. You can buy bacon for them at the bar to feed them so they can enjoy and continue to live their best life. At the entrance, there's a place to donate to their dog rescue campaign. can't tell you how much that means to me and how cute these little little dogs are! you have to stop by even if just to feed the dogs bacon, although the octopus appetizer is the best I've ever had!!

Hamburger

Exactly what I come to Cabo for! The authentic seafood, the mezcal drinks, and the by-the-beach table. They also had a beef hamburger for the wifey since she's not too keen on the raw stuff LOL

Be aware! This place is racist!! Our family is Asian and went on 3/25. The service and drink was great, so we decided to come back the next day. However, the second visit was completely different. As soon as we sat on the front row loungers, the server looked unhappy and told us there was a $40 minimum per person. I was like I didn't hear anything about that the day before, but I said okay since we were planning to have lunch anyway. Later, I noticed some white customers sitting in the same area, so I asked if they were told about the minimum. They all said no. When I asked the server why only my family was told, he looked nervous and said he needed to check with the manager. That didn't make sense--if it's a policy, why check? When he came back, he then told the other (white) customers about the $40 minimum, and several of them left right away. It felt like the manager realized they had no choice but to enforce the rule after I questioned it. The whole experience felt very unfair and uncomfortable.

We went to the sandbar to grab some drinks and appetizers before dinner. We were seated right on the beach with a lovely view of the cove. The atmosphere is a fun party vibe, but still good for a date night or family. All of the food was exceptional, and the drinks were good too. I would go back here on my next visit.

Wow this place has THE best views of Cabo San Lucas! You can see the arches and the entire…read morebeach/ocean. I definitely suggest going to watch the sunset. It's the perfect spot to take photos, too! My friend recommended that I come to The Rooftop, and I'm so glad I did. We made a reservation and just went for some drinks and dessert because the menu is a bit pricey. I recommend making a reservation. It helps if you have a reservation because if you're not staying at the hotel (like us), it is gated to get in and you have to tell the guard you are going to The Rooftop. I loved the vibes here; they even had a lady singing/DJ-ing some live EDM and she was amazing! The service was friendly and quick. They also gave us blankets because it gets a bit chilly at night. I lovedddd my drink-bitter pina colada (which wasn't bitter at all). I'm gluten-intolerant and was surprised to find that their churros are gluten-free. I ordered them and devoured the whole plate to myself. They came with a caramel dipping sauce too. They also have a gluten-free brownie; will definitely try that next time.

The ambiance was lovely - a nice rooftop bar overlooking the water. The service has flow issues…read moredespite it not being busy. We ordered soft shell crab tacos, burger, shrimp and aguachile. The shrimp was the best item of the night. Well balance and flavorful. The burgers and tacos were cold. All of our food came out at once. They said they would send the old plates back to the kitchen to be remade. They held the plates in the warmer and reserved them to us. When we asked about it they claimed they were fresh but the food was cold. The aguachile was inedible and we sent it back but still paid for it (odd). The shrimp was warm and seemed to have gone bad. The drinks in Manta were 10X better than the rooftop despite being on the same property. Overall, there needs to be some reworking of the menu. I'd skip the rooftop if I returned to the property because there are other wonderful options.
