Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Not great

Over crowded, every drink was mixed different , food at the same restaurant was always different. Had to get up at midnight (every night) to book Al la cartes . And then it was hard to get into them

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Quite the opposite of an amazing resort

The hotel was extremely outdated where the elevators were under maintenance for the duration of our trip. Definitely a good hike to the third floor everyday. From the lack of care in the public washrooms and having one vehicle for transport shuttle for an entire resort, this was absolutely disappointing. Having to walk 20 min towards lunch and dinner daily. The pools were bone chilling cold as if they never plan on heating them. The activities are free including the kayaks. "Almost free [... read more]" while tapping on his tip jar felt concerning and insulting. Didn't even feel like using the equipment after those types of comments. Many more to list however nothing nice would be added.

Sandos Cancun: I wish I could give a positive review

The hotel is a true boutique size which was what we were looking for. A lot of the staff is amazing and make your stay there so much better. My big issue is the fact that I slipped on the pool deck and landed on my face. I was not drinking. It is so slippery getting out of the pool, I'm sure I'm not the first or the last to fall. they don't seem to take it very serious. Within a hour I had a black eye and bruising running down on the left side of my fax.. My shoulder was also black and  [... read more]blue and I broke a toe and skinned my knee. I have now gone for an x-ray since I'm home. The pain was so overwhelming I went into shock when I hit the pavement. It's a very long story and what upsets me is they told me I had to pay $150 American for a doctor and sign a waiver indicating it was the fault of the hotel. Of course it is. My husband refused because at the time we didn't know the extent of my injuries and was furious they were telling us we had to pay for a doctor. After that they couldn't have cared less about me. No on followed up to see how I was doing, no apology, no offer of assistance. the next evening I asked the entertainment Manager Alex, if they could turn down the unbelievable loud club thumping music because my head was pounding and he said no. 75% of the guests were over 40 and no one wanted to hear it. We couldn't even talk it was so loud. This music played all day at the pool and all night at the bar and they didn't care what anyone wanted because I wasn't the only one to ask. Finally I spoke with the Hotel Manager about my fall. He apologized and said his staff much have mis-understood their policy because he would have covered the cost of the doctor. My stay was for 2 weeks so they had plenty of time to at least ask me how I was feeling. To explain my service mark, of poor it's because of Management Almost everyone working at the resort was amazing.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: The great family Resort

Overall, this resort is a great place for all ages, but especially for families. The beach and nature were amazing. Cleanliness and service are the most successful points of this resort, which through the wonderful and very kind staff make the stay at the resort even more desirable. We sincerely thank agent Sandra De Faria for suggesting this resort.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Meh-xico Vacation

The best part of this hotel was the staff, aside from one who checked us in and set us up for a "lunch" at the Royal Elite part of the hotel, which is for returning members only (we had purchased the select club adults only package). We were told it was just a chance to see what it was like and would be 90 minutes tops. I was also told that this was the only part of the hotel which had a swim up bar (later found out this wasn't true, the family pool does as well). We meet him the next day and [... read more] he introduces us to a man who would take us around. Well, this lunch (we had tacos at El Nido, a restaurant we already had access to) turned into a sales pitch. We were brought over to the Royal Elite side of the hotel and shown a model suite. All the while being told that our side of the hotel served bad alcohol that would give us a hangover, and commenting on how much nicer this model room was compared to ours (this is the second day of our 7 day stay). More sales stuff about how online sites that offer packages purchase a bunch of rooms and sell them, while he could get us a deal for $1 a night for the room, we just have to book flights. More sales pitch that confused us, I started thinking it was for a timeshare (something about not being able to book certain dates??). Then off to his office where he shows us pictures of different Sandos resorts around the world. At this point we are not biting, so he brings in his boss. Finally, after 2+ hours (when it was supposed to be 90 minutes total), I explain we are not interested and the good reasons why. We are promptly ushered out. Lame. On top of all this, the select club package is supposed to give you priority seating and reservations for the restaurants and buffets. Many times we waited in line for the main buffet place. The food is ok but lacking in many ways. Too many items were overcooked, dry and bland. We saw one of the made-to-order cooks at the main buffet using the same tongs to touch raw meat and chicken as to serve the cooked meats. I didn't even bother trying anything from that station after that. Halfway through our stay, the 24 hour room service stopped. We were told we had to go to the El Nido restaurant and order from there off a different, smaller menu, which no longer served any breakfast items. The shower leaked all over the floor due to there being a gap at the bottom of the door, and we had some kind of leak in the toilet closet. The pros (there were some), are the staff was extremely friendly and attentive; there were all kinds of animals around (coati, raccoons, a peacock, turtles and monkeys); there are on-site ruins (!!!), and the foam party.

Sandos Cancun: Good Resort

This is definitely a good 4 star resort. The food is good, not alot of option. Not fresh eggs for breakfast were unusual. The staff is pleasant but not as friendly as other resorts. The hotel seems dated and definitely needs some retoucheling.Ex ,the pool had a lot of broken tile ,but nothing that ruined my trip. The hotel room was very nice but had some smelly pillows. .

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Resorts could be better

The resort was ot bad , the food could be better and the beach and pool was great. It has a lot of set back the shuttle was very back it took so long to make round trip for such a big hotel only had two shuttle runing and it was so far to waking to the entertainment,beach and some of the pool. It's not worth the cost for our stay.the rooms overall need to be updated .

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Absolutely stunning resort!

We thought the resort was beautiful! The wildlife is the real reason we came here and that did not disappoint! It was amazing all the different animals, we are sad that the weather was too hot for the monkeys to come out for the most part and the weather was far too windy for snorkelling but that’s on me and my lack of planning. We would definately come back here! All the staff were so friendly and willing to help with anything!

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: It was OK...

Was excited to go back to a resort we enjoyed 1 yr ago but Disappointed. Had requested a king bed, not main floor, not poolside. They gave us the king but on main floor by the pool entrance. Told us we could pay to upgrade to a suite, declined an additional $1300 USD. Room was tired, toilet didn't flush & took 4 hours for someone to fix it. Food and drinks were good, lobby staff not helpful at all. Brazilian and Italian a la cartes best restaurants. We stayed in adult only select section. Sign [... read more]age for area needs to be better as children constantly coming to adult only Beach area or to bars or pool and then families would complain.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Great resort

The initial arrival to the resort was a bit of a wait. We were able to check in but had to wait about two hours for our room. Understandable as rooms are not usually ready by 3pm, however our flight time was early and we arrived just after 1pm. The resort is beautiful. If your looking for a beach, this isn't the resort for You. Tons to see and do without the extra expense of leaving the resort. Dinner reservations you needed to submit at 12am every night in order to get one. Buffet was ok [... read more]ay, but lacked in amounts of restocked food. Tons of kids activities, entertainment. To highlight this resort more would be to Add additional kids services such as ice cream parlour or a coffee shop.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Sandos

First room they gave me was in the family section nice room but a very long walk to get the tram (train Tran) . I was then moved to the adult section on the second floor with the elevator not working. The second night in my new room the air conditioner stopped working so did not get a good nights rest. Otherwise not as good of a vacation as last year’s. Other issues were with Air Canada. Dealing with trip central was easy and delightful, Thank you Richard Denis

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Amazing resort

we spent a week for my niece's wedding and it was amazing! This is a large resort with plenty to do. They are very well equipped for kids and adults. Pools were great, rooms were clean, and they had the largest buffet I've ever seen. Also plenty of à la cart restaurants, but do book early. The one hour snorkelling booked through the resort's dive center, which was a 10 minute boat ride away, was spectacular and very were worse the time and money.

Sandos Cancun: Great vacation!

The suite was very spacious, staff were very friendly and accommodating, food was very good for the most part. We found the cabana loungers a little rickety and worn, but still enjoyed sitting around the pool. The resort was very clean and well kept.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Sandos Caracol Eco Resort

Resort has gone downhill since last year. Food was cold and very little variety (buffet) Could NOT make reservations for any restaurant as the were booked and could not book anything that was available later unless i stood in a line several days later. Resort has excellent walking paths through the greenery.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Terrible resort

Poorly managed hotel. Unable to get reservations unless you wait in line for 3 hours at 7 am in the morning. Very dirty rooms along with the horrible smell in the rooms. Not enough staff and the staff they do have many of them are rude especially at the front desk. The beach has to be one of the worst beaches in the area. All rock and very dangerous. Would not recommend to anyone

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: The resort was lovely, but very large, too much walking,

The hotel was lovely, but way too large for the restaurants, so many people with not enough places to eat. Waiting I lines, not able to get into the restaurants because they were already booked even though we tried on our arrival day. Towel bar by the restaurants not by pools, so you had to carry them and then take them back to an area that was 15 min walk from your room. We are in our 70s and we were given rooms farthest away from any of the facilities. The eco environment was lovely, swi [... read more]mming in the senote, and the animals very enjoyable. Large peacocks and monkeys. The beach and ocean was rocky and you were unable to swim. The staff were pleasant and hard working but unable to answer most questions. We went on March Break so the place was packed and unable to accommodate so many people at the same time.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Nice hotel, terrible service

The hotel itself was lovely. The grounds were well kept, the wildlife in the resort is amazing and the rooms are very nice and clean (we had the family suite) Unfortunately, that is where it ends, the hotel is very understaffed. You wait hours in line for any buffet, if you want to book an A La carte, that is almost impossible as their app barely works, or you have to line up at 6:30am (Mon & Thurs only) to try and get a reservation. Both me and my husband ended up with food poisoning as we [... read more]ll. Drink lines are long and room service takes forever. The beach is nice, but you definitely need water shoes if you want to go in the ocean due to all of the rocks.

Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos: Very nice

Our stay was very nice. We enjoyed all of it. The room was nice and the grounds were beautiful. The activities crew were very friendly. Entertainment was fun. Food was good. The alcoholic drinks could have been a little stronger.

Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos: Lovely resort.

Nice, small resort. Not crowded. Great location. Food excellent. Staff very pleasant. Very few children so was quiet. Great views from beach and view of marina from resort. Room was dated but comfortable.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Awesome Beach but…..

The grounds were lovely but the resort was tired and the food and drinks were lacking. The rooms needed a major overhaul. All was bearable because of the gorgeous beach. I don’t think I would make a return visit. Staff for the most part were lovely but major communication barriers that I’ve never experienced at other resorts.
