“This resort is good enough that I vacationed there two years in a row. I like the fact that it has it’s Adult Only sections for the breakfast buffet, pool and bar, and beach area. The food, entertainment, and drink choices are all good. I will consider returning again in the future.” – Kelly B. 3/18
“Good all-inclusive family beach resort. Many options of food with adequate quality, many themed restaurants. The real SHOW is the central area of the resort with different stores and an amazing auditorium/theater with high quality night shows. Be aware that many rooms are relatively far from the beach/pools, therefore a long walk is needed to move from/to some rooms. The hotel provide golf cars to move people around passing by at every 15 minutes in certain drop off points.” – Rodrigo R. 3/18
Overall I recommend this hotel.
“My daughter chose this resort because the location was a central location for all her guests, half flying from the East Coast and the other from the West Coast. Maria and Marisol, the wedding coordinators at Sandos Playacar, were AMAZING and accommodating, sending us pictures of everything we needed during the planning process. The main plaza at the resort was wonderful. It allowed all 72 of us to meet in a central area since the resort is really spread out.”- Pat R. 4/7/2017
