This was our second consecutive year at the Sandos Playacar and i would recommend the hotel to friends and family. Here is a more detailed review: General We were in the adults only section of the hotel which is furthest from the beach but is excellent for couples. My only issue is that if you are less mobile this can... More

Stayed here at the start of May this year, excellent resort. The reviews complaining about the distance from one side to the other and it being a 15minute walk I'm not entirely sure where they are walking from or too! We stayed in a junior suite at the very end by the lobby, had a nice really quiet pool if... More

This was my first time out of the country and pretty much my first vacation and I had a blast! Maribel was very sweet and has great service! Erik and Jose were the best behind the bar and another 2 of my favorites! And Jamie couldn't of been a better person to get the party started! No matter what time... More

Being a Royal Elite member, I was first disappointed with our room on arrival, compared to the last 2 times we have spent at the Sandos Caracol the standard of accommodation at the Playacar is somewhat lacking, felt like we were stuck away from things at the adults only section where you have a 10 min walk or sometimes a...

We stayed at Sandos Playacar last May and had an absolutely great time. If you are looking for a 5 star fancy resort, this isn't it. But if you are looking for a comfortable resort with a great pool and beach, good food and drinks, then this is the place. Lots to do here and the shows at night are... More

We stayed at Sandos from May 12th-19th and had an amazing time! We stayed in the adult section furthest from the beach (the 9000 section) and found the rooms to be clean and spacious. The bathroom was nice with the double sinks and jetted tub. We thought the walk from our room to beach was not bad at all. It... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Sandos Playacar from May 12-18. I've never written a hotel review before, but after this stay, I was inspired. On a positive note, the rooms were nice - pretty spacious, airy, and clean. The pools on the property were also large and clean, and we were fortunate to have beautiful weather through the entire...

I stayed at Sandos for 10 days. I had the best time! My favorite was the entertainment team, Joaquin did such a amazing job. He is a very hard worker and he makes everyone feel included and gives a great experience and alway leaves a smile on your face! He made my stay amazing! I am very happy. -Brooklynn Erickson
