Sandos Playacar All Inclusive

Room - The room was in good condition. It was a little dirty in places but nothing too serious. They did not restock anything the whole time we were there. There was also not any snacks in the room, which was wierd Staff - It was not the best service I have ever had. The only people that seemed attentive were the people trying to sell you something. I only got a cocktail waitress to bring us drinks twice the whole time we were there.The staff at the restaurants refused to work with us. Resort - This resort is gigantic, if you don't want to walk miles upon miles a day, don't go here. Restauraunts - This was the worst part of our trip. It was absolutely impossible to get reservations for any of the restaraunts the whole time we were there. We were forced to eat the buffet. We finally got into a restauraunt by a fluke and they were not accomodating at all. We had two extra people in our party and they would not let them eat with us, they said they were full. The entire meal all the tables around us were completely empty. So for one, they could have eaten with us. But also, why is every single restaurant booked up every night when they are half empty? I am also used to resorts that have multiple bar and food options throughout the day. I was very very disappointed in this resort. Beach - Honestly , this was the only thing I liked about this resort. The beach is by far and away the best beach I have every seen in Mexico. It was gorgeous, clear water, white sand. Loved it.

En general, nuestra estancia fue buena. Algunas habitaciones todavía no están renovadas y les hace falta. La comida no es mala, aunque tampoco la mejor. Recomiendo el restaurante francés, ese si 10 de 10. La playa, de las más bonitas de la zona. Lo mejor fue la atención de las chicas de Guest Services, Melisa, Mar, Zyanya y María, quienes siempre estuvieron al pendiente de lo que necesitábamos, y ayudando con nuestras peticiones y reservas.

The resort had absolutely the best helpful and courteous staff for a large well run resort. Zyanya, Mar, Melisa, and especially Maria, were stand out rock stars in making our guest experience top notch. They went above and beyond to help us have the best possible vacation.

Great responsive staff. Decent sit down restaurants. Clean spacious rooms in the Haciendas. Amenities like hot tub and backyard pool added convenience for family with kids.

Todo bien, el personal amable, la habitación bien, limpia, no me gustó el restaurante brasileño

Everything was wonderful. Service is great. Food is excellent. Our room was clean and and the grounds were kept up very nice. Everyone is very friendly and courteous. Beach is great. Love the place. Will stay again:)

The room was spotless when we checked in. Housekeeping was so so, it felt like half the room was cleaned each day. The resort is massive. Only draw back is the different level bracelets. There are a lot of areas one select people can go in.

We paid extra to have adults only and found very little amenities catering to adults only. Our room was surrounded by kids. If you want the best option you’ll have to pay even more for the elite status. On top of this, for the price we paid, our room was dated. Then, we were constantly locked out due to a faulty door knob. And our safe always glitched. The al a carte restaurants were ok. Two that we had were great one not so much. The property is very spaced out. For the size of the property there should be more options for meals. And it would be nice to see the meals changing at the buffet. It was the same food all the time. Food was sub par.

I just want to thank the Sandos Expedia Guest Experience Team, who went above and beyond to make sure my family had a wonderful and special time at the resort! Mel, Mar, Maria and Zyanya helped with our dinner reservations, resort amenities, and also made sure both my wife and daughter had fantastic birthdays!!! I highly recommend seeking out their help when you are at the resort!!!! Thanks again ladies!!!!

Food wasnt always available and legnthy waits for room service. I was not made aware of or given an orientation to all the benefits of my elite braclet.

The resort was lovely, but standout for us was the beautiful surprise of the Expedia Guest Experience Team; staff of Sandos Playacar, but dedicated to making us feel welcome, and ensuring we had the very best time during our stay. Thank you to Melisa, Zyanya, Majo/Maria, And Mariana for all that you did, from the welcome message before we arrived (and daily!) to ensuring we had reservations at specialty restaurants at a time that worked for us. YOU made our stay special! I had no idea such a team existed, and have not encountered one at other resorts, but heads up to anyone considering booking through Expedia: this team, at this resort, will elevate your stay and make it even more memorable.

My Husband and I went to this resort in the first week of February 25. Celebrating an anniversary. We stayed in building one near the beach. We didn’t have a view of the ocean but the forest outside of our deck was lovely to look at and gave us privacy. This is an older building. They need updated lighting, electrical outlets, and some color. But otherwise comfortable. It was a nice size hotel room which fit our needs. As part of our Expedia experience, we were treated very well and had meals in the à la carte restaurants at six of our seven nights. Our two favourites were the Italian and the Mexican. The French would be third to those. I would not repeat the Argentinian visit. This resort has so much to offer and not enough character. Space here to cover it all, but I would say that by using Expedia we had an amazing trip. the staff were incredible in the resort and we were never devoid of something to do places to eat and beauty all around. The beach is amazing. We especially enjoyed our stop at the coffee café and the Mexican burrito taco spot beside it. We don’t typically think of going back to a place afterwards because we like to change things up, but we would definitely take the family to this resort.

Our Expedia representatives that we met (Maria mainly, but Melisa also assisted)) were truly amazing. Maria was constantly checking in to attend to our needs and we have had representation before but not quite like this. Maria, you went above and beyond

The room was clean, the staff were amazing. The Expedia guest service team was great and made sure we got everything we needed.

Was so super disappointed with our stay at Sandos. Ran into issue after issue...no water pressure....no hot water... terrible food...upselling at EVERY chance they got...we ran into so many hiccups our family got to a point where we had to laugh at it. Most staff act put out when requesting anything.... will never be back to Sandos. Please take my advice and stay elsewhere- spend your money elsewhere.

This was, without question, the worst vacation I have ever experienced. We were completely misled by Expedia’s website regarding the resort’s specialty restaurants. What was advertised simply did not exist in reality. The only option available throughout our stay was the basic buffet, as specialty restaurants were never available. This experience was a total letdown and far from what we paid for or were promised. I feel deceived and deeply disappointed. I am requesting a full refund, and I would never recommend this resort or booking to anyone.

All inclusive is incorrect. Never went to a hotel that did not automatically provide body wash shampoo , other toiletries. The bathroom water had an odor from day 1. My daughter kept gagging when brushing her teeth so we had to switch to filtered water. Weirdly our friend’s bathroom water was fine. We went solely here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and were not allowed entry at the restaurant due to being 35 minutes late. This was due to staff’s lack of knowledge as to location of restaurant and poor communication and instructions on direction. Went around in circles for an hour to lobby and back just to realize it was a 5 minutes late walk from the hotel! No clear directions on the resort or from staff. False advertising regarding 12 restaurants being available. Only 5. And you cannot pre-reserve before your stay. However once we got there, no reservations available! Airport shuttle from the hotel felt like a scam. We went to the hotel from airport and paid $130. So, after discussion with front desk Expedia team and clearly saying that we needed to go to TQO (tulum international) airport. We set off. Noting through our drive that the sign to tulum is in one direction and we’re we’re going to where the signs pointed to Cancun. And then scammed into paying “discounted $330” dollars. Then he charged us 10% extra mandatory fees at airport. The resort is NOT FAMILY friendly if going with children under 7

👍

The staff were friendly and quickly helped with concerns I had regarding access to volleyball for pool and dinner reservations. It would have been even better if there was pool equipment at the family pool towel hut - volleyball, Frisbee, floating rings. The family area is quite far from the beach and it is not practical to go there to get pool toys. We weren't able to book our dinner reservations as the app said everything was full. I appreciate that staff helped to get us booked in, however the restaurants weren't full so I'm not sure why we couldn't book ourselves. Thank you.

expedia staff were amazing , best service provider we have had in 15 yrs , milia , ma
