Great food, amazing water, nice selection of restaurants, but staff is trying to get any opportunity to present you with various so called "deals" hoping that you will buy some of the highly questionable vacations they want to sell you; otherwise nice resort. more

Stayed at Sandos with husband and 2 sons (10 & 11) from 6/27/09 thru 7/3/09. Overall I would say it was a pleasant experience. So here goes: Food: The buffetts are constanly being replenished with food. The food was well prepared and there was always chicken, fish, beef, pork so something for everyone. But after 6 days you get a... more

Let me say i was a bit cautious even though I read good reviews, but the resort clean and well maintained. Rooms - We stayed in the riviera section ( newer rooms ) and were very happy. One complaint was housekeeping was slow getting to make our room up a few days. Oh well, I guess im slow making my... more

I would like to tart by saying that our trip was the best trip all inclusive that we have ever taken. My family and I have traveled to other islands; Dominican Republic was our favorite until now! RESORT…I can’t even begin saying how wonderful the resort is. And I do have to say our trip did not start off so... more

Just returned from a week at Sandos -- June 25 - July 2, with my husband and three kids (ages 3, 7 and 11) We've been to many Mexico all-inclusives and this was definitely one of our favorites.

Yet since it's located on the south end of all the resorts, it has a private beach none like others. You can walk along (south)... more

Let me begin with the flight. As you know booking agents advise you to be at the airport at least 3 hrs prior for international flights. No need. An hour and a 1/2 is plenty. Once you arrive and go through customs, continue out side and find the workers with the aqua shirts. They are the shuttle agents. You will... more

Check in was a little confusing. The people at the front desk acted like they had never checked in two people with the same last names. They just mixed up our paperwork. That worked out ok. One set of room keys did not work initially and that took a little effort to get sorted out. It was a little frustrating... more

After a lot of research we decided on Sandos Playacar Beach Resort. Our stay was June 24-June 30. The beach was a deciding factor for choosing this resort and we were not dissapointed. We stayed in the beach section rooms in room 1338. We booked through Apple and had a smooth flight into Cancun. The transfers through Apple were fine.... more
