We booked a week at Sandos from 5-13 to 5-20 through Apple Vacations. We are 50ish year old parents with four children ages 22, 18, 13 and 11. This was our childrens' first time to Mexico and our second, the first being at ERC, an adults only resort. We chose Sandos because we liked the reviews on TA, the description... More

We really enjoyed Sandos Playacar. We traveled here in April of 2012 with our two children 7 and 10. Playacar is a little subdivision of Playa Del Carmen. It is a gated community in which helped me feel safer, especially bringing kids to Mexico. We enjoyed Sandos. It is a HUGE property. We stayed in the Rivieria section which was... More

We returned from a our second holiday at Sandos Playacar last weekend and despite the slightly disappointing weather conditions I am pleased to say that it was even better than last year! We stayed in the junior suites (adults only) section of the resort with a balcony overlooking to pathway and jungle. Last time we stayed we had a pool... More

We visited Sandos Playacar at the end of April/beginning of May for a week with a group of friends. Sandos is definitely one of the most beautiful resorts I've ever been to. The weather was incredible; it was hot and sunny every day! We were given gold wristbands, which meant we got access to the premium bars and the adults... More

OK, let me just start by saying I get annoyed with reviewers who complain because they were not pampered enough, there were not enough English speaking channels on TV or that a resort stinks because they did not have their favorite brand of liquor. Instead this review will be combined with several others for COMPARISON. Sandos is not a horrible... More

We had a family trip here; dad is a timeshare owner and so we had the black bands and access to the royal/premium lounges with computers and snacks/drink, a la carte breakfast in the French restaurant (wouldn't recommend), and the superb buffet breakfast for gold/black members. We also had access to adult only and palapa sunbed areas around the pools... More

We traveled May 6-11. The weather was fantastic, it wasn't crowded, I'm not sure it could have been more perfect... well except a few things at the hotel. First time we stayed at Sandos Playacar. Before we could even get in the lobby we were welcomed and drinks brought to us. I love the Playacar area, very safe. Take lots... More

We have just returned from Sandos and what a great holiday we have had. All staff were amazing, they always had a smile and had a Hola. We were in the adult section and the walk was beautiful and not long to the beach. We took the shuttle on our first day and though it was pointless. The breakfast in... More

My family and I stayed at the Sandos for a week in May and we had a great time. (Get comfy, this is going to be a long one…) The room: We stayed in the Hacienda section of the resort and thoroughly enjoyed the secluded feeling that this part of the resort gave us. The Haciendas have 10 units per... More
