Our first all inclusive resort we have ever been to. It was amazing! Food was delicious. The pool and bar were exceptional. The staff were helpful and were always attentive.
Our first all inclusive vacation was amazing! No complaints whatsoever, all the staff were very helpful, spoke to us in either Spanish or English, the entire resort smelled good and clean. Good was amazingly good as well!
We traveled during the month of May as a family of 5 people ( 2 adults and 3 kids age 15, 12, and 9)
Let me start by saying the food variety is amazing, ocean is beautiful and staff is super friendly.
Ladies on the beach( Claudia and Monse) tend to provide nice entertainment.
I highly recommend this resort.
The Resort is okay. I feel that if you’re not a member of this resort you will be excluded from most of the areas, activities and restaurants. Other than that the staff is nice and food is good. If you manage to make a reservation on a restaurant I highly recommend you the French
Sandos is not a bad resort. Just has some really weird things that need to be worked out. First off the resort is huge and the shuttle around the resort is not the greatest.. second you can’t ever make reservations at any of the restaurants because they’re always all taken, but if you show up at the restaurant, there’s plenty of tables. People are making the reservations and not showing up well there’s no way to know that. Food was ok nothing special. Entertainment staff was good
The resort was perfect for families with children, lots to do to keep everyone busy. all of the animals that are onsite were all very friendly and we loved the monkeys.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
We really enjoyed the big shady area (palm trees)at the beach.
The buffet is huge and the food is really good. The “coffee shop” has good iced coffees.
The Italian and the Indian restaurants are delicious!!
We loved that the resort was covered with beautiful trees and bushes.
Great resort!!!!!
The property overall is really nice but it was like a bait and switch for me.
The property is full of raccoons roaming around.
The rooms I booked weren't what I got.
I booked two connecting rooms with a balcony, I was given disjointed rooms facing a brick wall with barb wire.
The beach was unusable due to vast amounts of sargassum.
There other parts of the resort that are very nice with lots of greenery.
Most of the staffs were very helpful.
What you think you booked isn't what you will get when you arrive.
Great selection for family trip with 10 yr old! Lots of pools and the food was delicious.
The staff was wonderful and booking through Expedia gave us our own personal guest experience—Melisa, Zyanya, Mar and Majo! They were exceptional
I had a great experience at this hotel. The overall stay was very enjoyable, and I would rate it highly for cleanliness, comfort, and service. Zyanya and Maria were especially welcoming and helpful—they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their friendliness really made the stay stand out. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
First time staying at Sandos Playacar, definitely would come back. Resort was beautiful, beach was great. The girls at the Guest Experience (especially Zyanya) were amazing. They helped us book all dinner reservations while we waited for room to be ready. Also helped us to upgrade our room from a Family Junior Suite to an Adults Only Select room as these were closer to the beach and adult pool. The food was delicious, definitely recommend El Gaucho Steakhouse
The beach was clean and well provided with lounge chairs and activities for those who want them such as volleyball and water sports.
It was a busy March Break week but the beach and the restaurants were not crowded and line-ups for food were short. The buffet was really great for breakfast and lunch.
