I loved the Sandos resort. It was a beautiful property with a scenic walk leading to the beach. The rooms are clean and spacious. The food at the buffet was okay. I didn't try any of the restaurants since there were no reservations. I would stay again and would recommend this hotel.

This is a home away from home, we return year after year and love everyone there. This time we were fortunate to have Zyanya as the PR rep, as part of our Expedia package, and she was absolutely amazing. So gracious, friendly, and kind, and unbelievably helpful whenever we needed anything or had any questions. She is the best and we hope to see her again next summer. Thank you for everything, Zyanya!

It was clean but the workers were not very helpful. We were lied to on more than one occasion. We asked Raul from transportation if he could take me to the Loby instead of leaving me at the shuttle station where the excursion picks up and he said NO that he had something else to take care of. I walked to the Loby and Raul was there hanging out with the luggage guys and 10 minutes later he had his backpack on ready to go home.. On the first day we arrived nothing was explained to us. It was terrible service from the Loby check in man.

Everything was far in the facility. Had to take trolley to go to different places. They only had one trolley. It would get packed and sometimes you have to wait for another one. Usually 20 minutes or more. No dinning options. Could not make reservations. Always booked even though we paid. Staff didn't know how to provide info. place is big and you need directions. staff never gave clear directions. Shower was cold. I spoke to front desk several times. nothing was done. cold shower all day and I had my daughter who had a sore throat.

I didnt like any of it. Upon arrival the check in girl was rude and made a comment to her friend about us, not knowing I speak Spanish. Then they gave us a room which was not the right room. I payed for a private pool and we did not get that. I asked amd they said the room i wanted sas unavailable unless I took it with no air conditioning. They said if one became available they would let me know, never heard from them. They put my family and I all the way in a corner, far away from everything. The bracelet/key to our room didnt work 3 time's which we had to walk ALL the way to the lobby to get it fixed and in the end it was the door that didnt work. Impossible to make dinner reservations and the food is not good, at all! Bars close very early! Overall not a good experience, would never return to this hotel. Avoid if you can!

Our room had to change twice; once because the room i requested in reservation was unavailable and second time the room was not clean by check in. By the time we got into a room it was 4 pm. Also keep all receipts of purchases until you leave resort. They said i never paid my seek and go excursion when i got there and i know i did even when i showed transaction They couldnt find the receipt on there end so i got charged twice. And toward the ending of the night there so many people trying to get on the shuttle and there is only one that is running which is time consuming especially because you do need to get on the shuttle due to the resort being huge, expect to wait for a while unless you get on the shuttle super early or super late in the evening times.

Only the buffet was good . The restaurants that you needed to make reservation were terrible and definitely not worth it. The transport was a rip off because the butler will say one price and by the time you enter the taxi they were adding you another 100 pesos extra . In the final days of the stay was NO HOT WATER and no PRESSURE / we had to shower in cold water

I would rate this resort 3.5 stars at most. The rooms are spacious, some may comment that it is out of date, I would disagree. It has a Spaniard vibe. However there is never any hot water. Food: we were there for 5 days and could never get into the specialty restaurant that is included (besides the buffet) without having to call and argue with the front desk to get us in. We managed to get into two but that was after hours of discussion and one not even being the restaurant we requested. What was more disappointing is the restaurant were always empty , yet always “booked”. We came with a wedding party and requested if we can reserve a dinner where we all can join in one of the speciality restaurants and nothing was accommodated. The food is average. You get two bottles of water and they do not give you any more even when I’ll request it. We did the romantic spa package. They greeted us horribly and gave us a look. The massage was average. The jetted tub that was included was cold water. The elevators were broken the whole trip, the shows were average. We loved the animals around the resort and the greenery. We loved the bike tour with Jessica. She was informative and sweet. The rooms were cleaned when requested. If I were looking for a 5 star resort in playa de Carmen, I wouldn’t come back to this resort.

This hotel is big, needs to walk about 10 minutes to the beach. The pools and rooms are broken into three sections. Family (furthest out from the beach), adults only/Haciendas/timeshare and Family VIP (extra charge for upgrade) beach front and main pools. The walking gets old after a couple of days. Most of the staff was great with a few exception (pool bar) at the main pool and the photo guy (Arab) they hate their job and their customer service sucked. We stayed at the family area and we were put next to a very noisy family they were kids running and yelling without adult supervision after 11 pm everyday and we call for help and nobody answer. Room service food is limited and below average. Overall we had a good time and will stay here again but knowing what to expect will be easier to manage (pay extra and stay beachfront) so teenagers don’t complaint bruh. We didn’t dine here due to the long list for reservations.
