Our room was really nice. The food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had was that the resort is spread out so you had to take a trolley within the resort. The problem was that they only had two trolleys running so you would have to wait up to 20 minutes for your trolley. They need to add more trolleys

Our ground floor room opened up to pool area which was relatively quiet, with a poolside cocktail bar and daily lunch served at the small restaurant. The hotel was very comfortable, with walkways through the jungle to the beach with many small mammals and lizards along the way. We loved the sustainability of the complex (no plastic bottles, straws etc) and excellent restaurants. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially the Guest Experience team of Melisa, Zyanya, Mar & Maria who helped with excursions and restaurants. They also arranged a surprise cake to celebrate our anniversary, which was very nice. Overall, an excellent relaxing place, but does need some renovation during the offseason.

We loved our stay at this massive resort! Highlights included the incredible evening shows and the fun of feeding the local farm animals. Our 2-bedroom hacienda fit five of us perfectly. Pro tip: the buffet is often better than the à la carte restaurants, though be prepared to book all restaurants in advance. Cupcake cafe was amazing.We’ll definitely be back!

The resort was lovely, but standout for us was the beautiful surprise of the Expedia Guest Experience Team; staff of Sandos Playacar, but dedicated to making us feel welcome, and ensuring we had the very best time during our stay. Thank you to Melisa, Zyanya, Majo/Maria, And Mariana for all that you did, from the welcome message before we arrived (and daily!) to ensuring we had reservations at specialty restaurants at a time that worked for us. YOU made our stay special! I had no idea such a team existed, and have not encountered one at other resorts, but heads up to anyone considering booking through Expedia: this team, at this resort, will elevate your stay and make it even more memorable.

The hotel is huge and some of the rooms are very far from the main areas. Most of the time the hot water pressure in the shower was very low and it was difficult to shower. Pool slides are nice but my kids found them a bit small. The food selection was good and the teens club was great for the kids but opens after 15:00.
