We stayed at the Sandos Playacar Riviera for 6 nights in a junior suite in 3/2012. Let me backtrack, when we landed the customs and immigration process went quick and smooth. The van transfer from the airport to the hotel went fine; we were the first to be dropped off. Upon arrival, we were the only 2 people in line... More

We would definitely return to this resort! This was our our 5th trip to the Mayan Riviera. Our trip was from Jan 30th to Feb. 6th. We have stayed at 3 other resorts along this strip previously and they were all great (the beach is the best along this strip which makes each resort wonderful. Also you are only 5... More

Stayed at the Sandos Playacar Rivera from November 21 through November 26, 2011. A breakdown: Airport – Transfer to/from Hotel – Taxi Take a closer look, research the transportation portion of your vacation package. It’s usually included “by default”, so if you would decide to take care of your transportation on the ground, you would have to mention that to... More

My wife and I have stayed at Sandos 4 times now! We LOVE it. It has changed and grown over the years but they have kept up with quality service and accomodations. The First time we stayed it was called Sandos Gala Playacar and the only rooms were the Two Hotel towers by the beach. The next year we stayed... More

My husband and I just returned from the Sando's Resort yesterday. The Resort is beautiful, very clean overall (the grounds, the pools, the suites and restaurants) There was always someone walking around cleaning up after you and so eager to help you out. The staff were all great, we loved Fabian and Antonio at the swim up bar on the... More

I spent a week a the beginning of April with my husband and 1 year old daughter. We stayed in one of the Select Club Riviera Junior Suites. Beautiful resort with lots of potential to be a true 5 star, but given the competition in the area, really falls short with mediocre to bad service. PLUSES: The grounds are immaculately... More

I took my boyfriend to this resort for his 28th birthday this past spring and we had a lovely time. I booked it on the recommendation of a friend, who also enjoyed her stay. We did the all-inclusive thing and I had low expectations but was slightly happily suprised. I would say the drinks definitely keep flowing but they lack... More

This was my second stay at the Sandos Riviera Beach Resort. The Sandos Riviera is the fairly new added section of the Sandos Beach resort, which is beach front, while the Sandos Riviera is set back and you have to walk about 5 minutes to reach the beach from the Riviera section. However, the Riviera section has very nice junior... More

Overall my wife and I had a great time in Playa del Carmen. The Sandos property was very clean and the staff was great. We stayed in the Riviera section which is farther away from the pool and beach, we knew this going in and sacrificed convenience for a newer and updated room. The beach is beautiful and water is...
