Property was clean, safe, and lots of amenities in and around the resort. Staff wasn't overly friendly or going out of their way. Both my wife and I ended up getting food poisoning while there. If you don't have kids or like to hear kids screaming and hollering, I would advise to book in the adult only section. Solid 3 stars.

Everyone in our group plus everyone we met had been so very sick from the food at the resort. Every day of our trip was affected because of someone so sick they couldn't leave the room. Not one staff member seemed concerned about this except the entertainment staff.

We stayed at the Sandos Playa Del Carmen for one week to attend a wedding. There was an issue with the food or water because 21 out of the 50 who attended the wedding became ill. The following week there was a post from another wedding where 70 of their guests came down ill. We drank water from the jugs provided and not from the tap, so feel that the issue came from the food. This property is in desperate need of an upgrade. The most serious issue is with the toilets. Every washroom that i used had at least 1 and often more toilets out of service. My wife said the womens washrooms were in even worse condition. We paid too dollar to attend this wedding and cannot recommend this resort. On a positive note, the staff were great. Very hard working and willing to help if needed. Daryl

Took 14 people there. Employees worked hard to take carer of us. Room was big and cleaned. Most of the shows were great. However, it was a 15 minute walk to the beach at a fast pace. The tram they use is slow and not very safe or reliable. Somedays we didn't have hot water. Very poor water pressure. Sliding door was extremely hard to open. Need better lighting on trails with signs.

The outside areas of the property were beautiful and well taken care of. We enjoyed our daily walks to the beach and restaurants. Our first room was old and dirty. The air conditioning didn’t work, so after two days (at 11:00 pm) we finally got a new room. This new one was more updated and cleaner. We asked for a later check out in return for the inconvenience of the first room, but they said no and told us we would have to be charged. That seemed like a small ask, and one that would have left us feeling better about our stay, but they wouldn’t budge. Overall, the food was good. Breakfast and lunch at the buffets always filled us up. We especially liked the Asian and Italian restaurants. It can be difficult to get reservations, so that is important to do right away. We couldn’t get any the first two nights we were there. That was disappointing. The entertainment team was fantastic all week! They always had things to do for kids on the beach. We enjoyed the nightly shows. All the servers and people we encountered on the grounds were very nice and helpful!
