THE SANDBAR HOTEL, TRADEMARK COLLECTION BY WYNDHAM, Myrtle Beach

The Sandbar Hotel is split into two buildings: an oceanfront wing directly on the beach and a main inland building just steps across S. Ocean Blvd. The oceanfront building offers the easiest beach access and the indoor pool. The main building has its own outdoor pool and lazy river and is a short walk to the beach. Myrtle Beach International Airport is about 3 km away. A Walmart is a block away for supplies. The area has several dining options within a 5-minute walk, including Lenny's Pancake House, Gazebo Restaurant, and Latitudes Grill. The surrounding area has a mix of older and newer properties, and the beach access is excellent from the oceanfront building.

The hotel offers a variety of room types including studios, quadruple rooms, family rooms, and suites. All rooms include a private bathroom with shower, free toiletries, and hairdryer. Rooms are air-conditioned and have heating and a TV with cable channels. Some rooms feature a balcony with sea views, while others do not-so it is important to check the specific room details when booking. Family rooms can sleep up to 4 guests. Some studios have kitchenettes with a refrigerator and microwave, while larger suites include a full kitchen with stovetop, oven, and microwave. Some rooms have a seating area and a desk. Bed options vary from single and double to queen and king. The property has two buildings and room quality can vary; some rooms are more recently updated than others. The main building rooms are more motel-style, while the oceanfront wing offers more modern finishes.

The Sandbar Hotel does not have a restaurant, and no breakfast is served. For meals, the hotel has vending machines for drinks and snacks. Within a short walk (0.3-0.5 km) there are several dining options: Mako's On The Boulevard, Fat Man's Dream, Latitudes Grill, Lenny's Pancake House, Gazebo Restaurant, Domino's Pizza, and The Palace Restaurant. This makes it possible to find a variety of cuisines nearby, from casual bites to sit-down meals. The lack of on-site dining means planning ahead for breakfast and dinner is advisable, especially for families.

The wellness and leisure facilities are split across the two buildings. The main building features a seasonal outdoor heated pool with a 38 m lazy river, sun loungers, and umbrellas. The oceanfront wing houses the indoor pool and hot tub, open all year. Both pools operate from 09:00 to 23:00. Pool towels are provided. The fitness centre is free and open 24/7. A hot tub and jacuzzi are also available. Sun loungers and beach chairs are complimentary. There is no spa on site. The pools are generally well maintained, though the indoor pool area can sometimes have strong chlorine levels.
