My husband and I (both in mid-fifties) enjoyed our second trip to Playa del Carmen and our fifth trip to Mexico. It was our first time at Sandos 'Playacar. We were a little concerned, since we had difficulty making the reservation back in June. However, we were pleasantly surprised with how smoothly everything went upon arrival. We had an oceanfront... more

We spent four nights here - parents with 3 boys - 12, 10, 8. We visited during early November when our kids had vacation period. It was low period for the resort as it seemed at low occupancy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. First of all, the service was outstanding. Every employee we came in contact with was friendly and... more

Loved it!

I did a lot of reading of reviews here before we left on our trip. The ones that were complaining of small drinking cups, poor service, or too long of a walk are just crazy in my opinion! Yes, the drinking cups at the pool and beach area are small, but just ask for a larger one and they will... more

We had two families consisting of 10 people. 4 adults and kids ages, 9,8,5,5,3,4months. This was our first trip to the area for either family so we really have no point of reference to compare it to. To make a long story short, we had a great time and felt that we got much more than our money's worth. We... more

Review of Sandos Playacar This hotel grew on us. We got off to a rocky start (more on that in the Timeshare Travails section), but for those of you looking for the net-net and who don’t want to read this whole review, here is our advice: book it. The reasons are 1) the beach, 2) the food, 3) the hospitality... more

Great beach resort! Riviera suites are nice but really far from beach. I would have liked to be able to run back to the room on a whim, but it was a good walk. Most beautiful beach I have seen so far, I wanted to stay forever. Restaurants were good, the staff was nice, but the beach was fabulous and... more

10 days with the family at the Sandos Playacar. I notice many of the reviews are first-time travelers to the area, we found this resort to be of less than ideal quality compared to many others in the area that we visited during our many trips to the Mexican Riviera. This was my first visit to this resort but my... more

We stayed at the Sandos Playcar for two weeks, had an amazing time and didn't want to leave. All the staff at the hotel were friendly and polite from reception, waiters, bar staff, maids and cleaners. They always had a smile and hola for you. If you treat them with respect and are polite to them they will be polite... more
