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

We stayed at Sandos the week of May 12, 2013. We arrived at the hotel at noon (via USA transfers...which we would recommend) and were given wristbands and towel cards. Check in was quick and friendly. We were told our room would not be ready until 3, so we walked down to the main buffet to catch a bite to... More

Just come back from a 2 week stay in this hotel. OK, it's not a 5* hotel in the official sense but it more than met our expectations and we had a great time. The rooms were big and spacious, the staff worked incredibly hard and everything was spotless and the food was great.

We stayed at Sandos for 2 weeks at the beginning of April and it was a brilliant holiday from the moment we were shown to our room, friendly staff everywhere and the place is spotless. Food was really good and booking the a la carte restaurants is a must. All the staff work really hard to ensure that everyone has... More

Really enjoyed staying at this resort. Lots of things to keep you busy even though we stuck pretty much to the Adults Only section. Food was amazing at all the a la carte restaurants. Staff was pleasant and polite. This resort has lots to offer and would recommend it. I would prefer a slightly smaller resort as it took a... More

We spent another great vacation at Sandos. Since our last trip, the resort has made some improvements. There is a cupcake cafe, vip lounge, mini golf, and better great service. First, the overall, grounds were well kept, beach is the best along the Maya. The resort is family friendly, yet has adult only areas too. The resort is eco friendly,... More
