This is our second time at Sandos Playacar. We decided to go to this resort again because we had an amazing experience the first time about 8 years. However, the overall quality of the hotel was much lower this time including the food and the service. Beach and the resort grounds are awesome. This time food quality is mediocre and service was ok. The people who work at the restaurants seem to be o...

Nate, Sep 2016
Pros (+) The staff were great. The beach was fantastic. Drinks were in full size cups and there was some premium liquor.
Cons (-) THE WALK. They gave us a"free upgrade" but put us over a mile from the beach. The said they have golf carts but there are 400 rooms back there and 3 carts that hold 6 people each. At one point we had to wait an hour for a ride. All activities are near the beach so we didn't end up doing very much. The first day of our vacation we walked 16,000 steps, this is not what we wanted our beach trip to be...

Pros (+) The resort is beautiful. The beach is one of the best I have ever seen. The staff is second to none and so friendly.
Cons (-) The seaweed got worse as the week went on. Not the resort's fault but it did take away from the amazing beach.
