Hotel overview
OYO Hotel Sand’s sits comfortably on the waterfront in Barra de Navidad, offering guests a modest yet inviting 3-star experience. The property blends a laid-back atmosphere with practical amenities including free Wi-Fi, free parking, and an outdoor pool perfect for cooling off under the Mexican sun. The sandy recreation area enhances the beach access appeal, making it a natural choice for travelers seeking both relaxation and easy water activities.
Visitors often highlight the hotel’s friendly staff and its authentic, no-frills charm. The swim-up pool bar provides a social spot favored by guests, while the surrounding gardens add quiet corners for romance and tranquility. Positioned near the town center, the hotel is convenient for exploring local dining and entertainment options without straying far from the seaside.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Beautiful old hotel on the water front with beautiful view and entertainment by the pool sat.”
“Stayed here on three different holidays over the years... very funky, friendly, good breakfast, nifty swim-up bar, modest rates. Not for the "resort minded" gringo, but for the not-too-finicky who live in the real world, it is a good bet. I hope to go again sooner rather than later. Barra is a good vacation spot, good food, laid back.”
“My mom Natividad guzman had us coming here for more than a decade and I have the best memories from this spot their pool is amazing and the moon pool it's unbelievable if no o e speaks English it's because it mexico idk what Mario was expecting if he wants people to speak English he should go to usa beaches In California this a non expensive great hotel I remember they have guacamayas”
“Staff was friendly and very helpful.Pool area was large and well kept Gardens are beautiful and romantic.They also have a sandy recreation area with beautiful view.Near downtown and fab restaurants with great view.If you enjoy yachts and boats plenty to see.We will be back often.”
