Property is beautiful as you drive in and enter the resort. There are several pools to use. We opted in for the adult’s side and that had the smallest and worst pool. No swim up bar and no one walking around offering drinks. If you were a member there was a small separate pool and staff was catering to them. There were food options around the pool areas but it was an open air buffet so the food was open to all the elements and bugs and what not floating around, not even covered.The rooms were old and we had zero water pressure in the shower, I mean it was a literal trickle. Food was not mediocre. We stayed at the Sandos in Cabo and it was a completely different experience. We ended up leaving this resort and booking else where.

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.

Segunda ves ke la visito , y ha cambiado un poco, no me parece correcto ke cobren por usar el sauna teniendo todo incluido entiendo ke hay huéspedes ke son privilegiados al tener la membresía, otra de las cosas las reservaciones a los restaurantes ya ke tratas de hacer una reservación y generalmente no tienen lugares incluso tratando de reservar con dos días de anticipación, hace 5 años ke fui por primera vez y todo trabajaba mucho mejor, aun así volvería otras veses
