This was our 3rd time staying at Sandos Playa Del Carmen. We like the property, beach is wonderful. Staff is friendly. Has lots of pool options and eating places but was harder to get in restaurants this time. All in all beautiful big property with lots of choices. And its very walkable if your at all fit somewhat.

Buffet was closed for most of the trip because of multiple people getting sick eating there. Had no running water for over 48 hours in two separate buildings of rooms. Toilets were over flowing because you couldn’t flush them, no showers, no brushing your teeth. But when staff was asked about it, you couldn’t get any type of answer as to when the problem would be fixed. Our group ate off the all inclusive resort more often than not to avoid potentially getting sick from under cooked food or unsafe handling of food

This is a great motel for the price. It is clean, good restaurants, clean pools. You don’t have to fight for chairs. Our favorite restaurants were the Italian and the Asian. We were hesitant to go to the Asian, but liked it. The beach is wonderful. Very little seaweed. We have been to a number of hotels in Mexico over the last 25 years. This is a good motel and we will be back. Maria by the adults only pool is really helpful. Carlo made it fun with his activities by the pool.

The good: the beach is one of the best in this side of Mexico. Staff are great. Wildlife all over. Great coffee bar and taco shop. Lush grounds. The bad: all adult side rooms have a shared interior door with neighbour. Can hear all coughs, conversations, tv, and things left to your imagination. A/C is old and weak. Loud as heck too. Asked for a quiet room for 40th anniversary. Got a patio at the main garbage. Literally on the same level no break, walk out to the garbage. When we were funneled to the reception 'not time share' desk we were told we were upgraded. Literally a normal standard room, why lie? The terrible: 3 of the 4 of us got food poisoning. We have lived in Africa and Asia, been all over Mexico. We don't have weak stomachs. One person twice. A wedding party with 60 people, 40 the same. I think it was the water jug water or the main buffet. People kept coming to reception complaining about being sick.

Love the beach and gardens around the property. Disappointed that top shelf alcohol is not top shelf! They don't provide bottled water. Family pool washroom had no toilet seat in men’s wash room. We had to walk about10 min to reserve a volley ball for pool and could omly have it for one hour. Reservations for several restaurants were not available. Food was a hit or a miss! The hotel store is very high priced and you can walk out the resort to a market for the same items. Evening shows targeted at children don't start until 9:00 pm. Not much pool side entertainment. Many resorts offer dance lessons, language lessons etc. not Sandos! The beach bbq was a hit and family section pool had better service than the adult only. the adult only pool only had one bartender and every drink you were waiting in line. The spa now charges for hydro therapy pool which is just a sauna and jetted water. The rooms are outdated and a/c barely works. Patio doors are a challenge to open and no screens. housekeepers were terrific and accommodating!

Stayed in one of the adult buildings, that over looked the family section of the beach so while the ocean view was wonderful, afternoons were noisey due to the activities and music on the beach. We spent time at the adult only pool which was very nice. Activities started around noon, some fun games and some wilder pool parties. Definitely a rowdier scene than we expected from an adult only section. Down the far end of the adult beach area you could get away from the music and microphones to hear the waves. The a la cart Italian and Mexican restaurants were fabulous. The steakhouse was awful, sorry to say. Breakfast at the Beach Snack was adults only and so lovely - thank you Samuel for the good care there. Same location was really nice for lunch by the big main pool - open air with big ceiling fans and a reasonable selection of food items. We avoided the main buffet as I got food poisoning there on our third day. We did eat there for some dinners, and while the selection of food is insanely huge, we can’t report that it was very GOOD. I wonder about how much food wastage there is? I wish they had focused on 3-4 themed sections each night, and produce quality meals. I see that they are making an effort to cater to any and all tastes but it’s just too much!! The rooms are simple and comfortable. Beds wonderful - great sleeps. Bar staff cheerful and attentive. The resort is amazingly maintained, with natural gardens. Pools clean. Beach swimmable and lovely.
