No water for several days. When we got here all water was cold. Over 200 guests were ill guessing E. coli. Staff did not address any issues. Did not let us know why there was no water. Or when we would have water. It was a mess! It was not fun being severely ill with out flushing toilets!!! Very poor communication

The beach at Sandos Playacar is probably its best quality - it is unmatched! The front family pool area is superb! The food here is also top-notch. Service is terrific. We enjoyed the cupcake cafe and taco buffet also. The entertainment was pretty good. Being there with kids, there is a large area of the resort they are not allowed. For us that was a bummer. We didn’t use the upper pools much, they were cold. Possibility due to being shaded much of the afternoon.

After a 14 hour experience to get there we were put in a room with no water and no phone working and I and my wife are in the late 70 and this was at the furthers end of the property (1 kilometre) from the beach and changed me 6160.00 pesos to upgrade to an elite room close to the beach as we have trouble walking long distances. After getting up at 4:00am to leave for Mexico it’s now 9:00 pm we finally get to the elite suite the air conditioning is so noisy we have to shut it off to sleep and on the second last the fan assembly of the air conditioning unit fell off with a loud bang and after waiting 2 hours a repair man fixed. Also the bathroom had lots of mould on the ceiling and they totally refused to compensate the 6160 pesos for the week. The building wire elite suite had 2 of 3 elevato permanently out order so made very hard for us at our age to do the stairs. So yes never Sandos for us ever again

Great stay! Great food! Great staff!

Sandos Playacar is absolutely amazing! Their costumer service goes above and beyond! SO MANY employees that made our experience amazing! Very clean! Great variety of restaurants and food, and the buffet is SO good! A lot of activities from music, to water sports, to shows! In the Spa, Thank you Araceli for your kindness and extra TLC. At our new years celebration, thank you Rodolfo for answering all my questions and making sure we had exactly what we wanted; thank you also Teodoro for helping us in wine selections; and thank you Juan for going the extra mile at the New Year celebration and also at the delicious Gourmex restaurant. Thank you Isabel at the buffet, and Alex and all the boys from the pool bar.

The property is beautiful with lots of dining options. Our 2nd visit. Beautiful beach and multiple pool areas to choose from. We had some awesome dining experiences along with a couple unsatisfactory experiences. Rooms are very spacious. The property was always very clean but some areas a little dated. If you're in the back family section, it's about a 8 min walk to the beach but there are a couple pools right around the corner. Night life & entertainment is limited. Kid friendly.
