Wonderful resort!

Sandos was great! The property is large and beautifully landscaped. We enjoyed all the different animals there as well. The beach is gorgeous and there were plenty of chairs at the beaches and pools. Food was terrific and lots of variety - much better than many all inclusives we've been to. Shows were well done, and high quality.

This host was great, communicative, very helpful leading up to our trip. Lots of information and answered promptly. Resort ,the positive, beach is beautiful, water is clean and calm. With VIP bands you can go to a quieter family section with small cabana beds/pool which are nice but nothing going on and farNegative…Overall the resort was not that nice, older a bit dirty. Staff with the exception of maybe two we encountered were not friendly or helpful at all and some were just rude. Check in took forever and the guy who was going to help us bc we were “members” had disappeared by the time we were finally done. Buffet is understaffed and they don’t refill food or plates quickly. Food not great. We had a very nice dinner at the Italian, Indian and Mexican restaurants. Although they were empty they turned people away and when I messaged vip rep during the day to move our reservations no one replied till the next day and just said “sorry no.”We had a reservation at steak house one night that they just cancelled at 5 o’clock the night of and gave us no other options or even attempted to help us find another place to go, just said “sorry go to buffet they have meat.” Zero service on the beach (odd especially for vip section) Mostly just go get burgers down the beach if you want or a small buffet also not stocked or very good. To avoid buffet we went to VIP French restaurant for breakfast, Took close to two hours, service awful.Great host but we would not return.

Excellent host

Georgette is a wonderful host. She was immediate in all communication. She worked out our airport shuttle and a resort room upgrade. She had tips for our stay. The resort has changed over the years, as it’s not as teen friendly as it once was, but that is not the fault of this host. She was great and the resort room was beautiful.

Host was Amazing! Very communicative and saved us money!

First, I want to say how amazing of a host Georgette was. She was incredibly communicative and went the extra mile to save us additional money and make things great for our stay. The property is pretty nice! We were there at full capacity, so of course there are sometimes issues with rooms and dinner reservations, but nothing at all do to with the host or the kindness of the staff. Would highly recommend booking through Georgette if you want to stay at Sandos Playacar with a full VIP experience!

Resort located in the jungle with everything you need

This resort is very big and has everything you need for a vacation. It is located in Playacar area (a gated community). The resort has bikes you can rent so you can explore Playacar and enjoy their small market area- there’s even a Starbucks! The resort itself has many different pools and a small water park. The beach has beautiful white sand and the water is clear. The kids enjoyed boogie boarding in the waves. Water is about stomach to chest height on me for a long ways out. In hindsight I should have packed floaties for my 6 year old as she couldn’t touch anywhere. It was a great stay! Food was mediocre, but kind of what you expect from buffets and resorts.

Just what we needed!

We had a great time here - the shady spots by the VIP pool and beach area were amazing. We also enjoyed the beautiful tropical, shady landscaping, walking back and forth to various parts of the resort and checking out the wildlife. The beach was excellent, and a lot less seaweed there than i am used to in other Playa areas. The food was good (we preferred to go to the buffet mostly - tons of healthy options there for us). They put out an amazing spread there for new year's. We weren't overly impressed with the sit-down restaurants - the food was decent, but not much different in quality from the buffet, but it makes a nice change to have waiter service every now and then. We thought the Italian restaurant was the best of the ones we tried. Georgette was really helpful and made booking everything a breeze. We would come back for sure!

The property is in a safe, gated community and was very easy to navigate, once we walked around a bit. We chose to stay in one of the family rooms with the bunk beds for my kids. Get the nicest room you can afford. Worth it!We arrived later than expected and weren’t able to do the Royal Elite check in. STRONGLY recommend arriving before 6pm or there will be a wait at the desk to get checked in - this was not the best start, but things improved afterward. My kids LOVED the buffet, which was good, because restaurant options were very limited due to construction. The Cupcake Cafe was my go-to spot for coffee. Favorite à la carte was the Italian. No issues with the food or water at all, but I’d recommend planning ahead if you like ice - you have to call room service for this. Other room service fav: chicken wings! We didn’t get to spend much time in the Adults Only areas, but the Royal Elite Family areas were great. We went in the off season, so the resort was less crowded. Housekeeping was diligent in coming and cleaning our room. I was not a fan of the toiletries, preferring to use my own. Just use the “app” to ask for washcloths. They aren’t automatically provided but they’ll give you extra towels, washcloths, etc if you need them. The shining star of this resort is the beach. Gorgeous. My husband and kids had a fantastic time in the water on multiple days, even in October, snorkeling, swimming and just playing around. Temperatures were perfect.

Georgette was Amazing, resort leaves something to be desired for families

Georgette was amazing and the staff at the resort even knew her well. She was very helpful and we were happy not to be limited with the black bracelet. It seems to be the best way to go and best deal for your money at this resort. As a couple this would be a fantastic steal of you stay up in the couple side. As a family that stayed in a bunk bed room down by the lobby, the trek to get food midday got very old. Also, you absolutely have to set up dinner reservations the minute you check in if not before. There is no way you will get in the first two nights and will be forced to drag your kids up to the buffet by the beach for lunch and dinner. We're thin people and very much in shape, the walk or wait for the carts to ride got old. None of this is Georgettes fault though and she was amazing. Highly recommend booking through her.

Great stay in an All-Inclusive resort with member benefits

We just got back from staying at the Sandos Playacar for 5 nights and booking thru Georgette was the best decision. Great communication all the way thru. She also helped us with other questions regarding Playa Del Carmen. We also booked our private transfer using Georgette’s recommendation and that service was great. You can read and watch YouTube about Sandos Playacar - it’s a beautiful resort, we didn’t care for the food though.

Georgette was amazing. Property was really nice

Georgette was absolutely amazing! She communicated very well and was always available. I'm my review, please note this is during the COVID pandemic, and I do not believe it reflects how the resort would be under normal circumstances. The property is really nice, and as expected for an all inclusive resort. The hotel was clean and property was close to town by nine ride. Access to the black bracelets were amazing! Most of the time we received upgrades alcohol on request, but this only happens at a select few bars, which usually included a walk. The food was really good for all inclusive. All staff were friendly, though I do not feel they went above and beyond like other resorts I have been to. Again, with this review, we were traveling dining COVID tones, and would expect it to be much better under normal circumstances. All in all, I would definitely recommend this property.
