I've been in this hotel for 10 years, and we're still coming back every year in December. We love Sandos because it's an amazing resort and the people who work there are so nice, especially Jimmy Vazquez, I met him the last time I was at Sandos and he was really friendly and we danced alot at the evening programs.

We went as a family of 12 for the Christmas break. The resort is very clean, well maintained and beautiful. The beach was great and you could walk for miles either way on the sand. The water was beautiful and fun to play around in the waves-didn't see any seaweed so perhaps it was regularly cleaned off the beach area.... More

I visited Sandos Playacar with my adult daughter for 9 days in early March 2013. To say the least, we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Adjacent Playa del Carmen was a short bike ride away (bikes are offered by the hotel), Cozumel is an hour by boat, and the Mayan ruins of Tulum and Coba are nearby as well,... More

The attendants in the hotel, in the restaurants, and on the beach were attentive and very accommodating. The rooms were clean and cared for daily. I felt very happy with my resort selection. The only poor aspects of the hotel was... More
