Pros: Great for families with 13 and under kids. Huge variety of things to do. Wild animals everywhere. Ample seating at beach, pools and water park. Snack bars at water park and pool were great. Large rooms Cons: Rocky beach (water shoes are a must) Food was only ok, but there was a very wide variety. All restaurants were booked for entire week before we even arrived. Line to get into the buffet restaurant was always very long. Check-in orientation was lacking

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
They have a lot of lush greenery and animals throughout. Water park is a good perk. The checkin process was extremely lengthy we spent over 5 hours at the front desk the first night then had no food choices because everything closed at 9. The food was terrible, poor service, cleanliness of rooms needs work at checkin. Felt run down and unkept for the price paid. No night club on property everything closed early. Even towel service closes at 4 but pools are open till 5. Again early for closing. I have stayed at nicer properties in Cancun for way less that had impeccable food and service. Hardly any snack areas and strange restaurant hours for breakfast and lunch very few choices. No beach it’s all been washed away from the tide and very rocky. The ceiling caved in big hole left in entry way of room. Toilets plugging constantly. Early construction and loud hallway noise from inside the room. I would never stay there again. First and last time with Sandos.

Food was horrible and most restaurants ran out of food. The staff and buildings were also just horrible. This is a 1-2 star resort and we will never stay here again. Pools closed at 6 and anytime you need help from staff you got no response except we will have to call our manager. We also ordered a taxi and the bell boys sent it away when we were standing there waiting for the ride. Ceilings caved in from the rain and they didn’t want to change rooms, they just wanted to patch it in the morning. I would never recommend this place.

Some staff members were very nice but others very unkind. Restaurant availability is not the greatest. The buffet don’t offer grilled chicken for those of us who don’t eat meat and the best food is the fruit and the omelettes. Price too high for services offered. Didn’t had any information about offered services in the room. Not even a menu for room service. There is no beach at this facility and had to pay almost $100.00 in transportation to go to Sandos Playacar. The water park, the shows and the wild life is probably the best part.

It was great to have a room in the canopy of the jungle. Monkeys and other critters were all over the place. So much to do and so many events going on was a ton of fun My only negative feedback would be that the buffet never changes. It was ok, but just a complete lack of variety. Otherwise the restaurants were excellent.

My family was a little worried going into this trip after reading recent reviews of the resort. The reviews did help us to mitigate some things though....knowing what could go wrong, so we planned ahead. There was one family ahead of us at check-in and maybe we waited 10 minutes. It wasn't the hour or two that others posted about. They do charge a $20 USD "sanitation fee" that must be paid in cash on arrival. That was super shady and clearly a cash-grab. Our room was nice. The cleaning was good. They were there every day and restocked most of the time. Nothing to complain about here. Went to the buffet for supper and it was fine. Nothing spectacular, but we aren't picky people either. I went down at 7am to put towels on loungers. I didn't need to do this as there were always lots available. The line for the pool bar was there for sure and there was only one bartender. But we had our mugs and filled them up and Martha was amazing and brought us drinks constantly. We were able to get into restaurants every evening after. We arrived at 5:45pm and were able to get in every night. We would be at the breakfast buffet or the Italian restaurant for breakfast at around 8am and there were never any lines. However, they did stretch out a long way from 9am until 10am. DO NOT pay the high spa massage prices. Go to the beach, head left and you will see a massive MASSAGE sign on a thatch roof. We had $30 massages for 70 minutes on the beach and it was UNREAL. Ask for Maggie and Suzy
