We come to Sandos Playacar each year and love it. Our adult children love it also. Maria walks around the pool and beach area making sure everyone has what they need including dinner reservations. She is great and had plenty of information about the hotel and the surrounding town. The food is very good and all the staff are friendly and hard working. I’d say the place is well managed and we will continue our annual trip to Sandos Playacar.

The kids club is great! It’s such a good thing to have this when on vacation and the girls there create fun activities for the kids and ensure they’re safe, have fun, and have a diverse number of activities for them!
The breakfast at the French restaurant is great. Karen, Jair, and Veronica are excellent! Very nice, patient, and provided an excellent service. They’re also very kind and friendly with little ones :). Definitely recommend them if you go to the breakfast at the French restaurant- ask for them!

Sam with animation was great! She was always lively and got everyone engaged in her activities!!
This resort is fun! The food and drinks are great! The only down fall is that they ask everyone to use an app to remake dinner reservations, look at the activities and the map of the resort but they do not offer WiFi in your room. So if you are trying to make dinner reservations while relaxing in your room, don’t even bother. Otherwise, everything has been great!

The bad :
We started with an avoidable slip and fall by a family member in the buffet because the floor was freshly mopped and not marked making her unable to participate in several of our planned activities, the doctor was supposed to come evaluate her and never did, our entire family (12 people) getting sick with what we believe to be food poisoning, and the food choices weren't super child friendly. The place to rent kayaks and boogie boards didn't open on time the day we had that planned therefore we didn't get to partake in that. The pool had a volleyball net but no volleyball and the balls at the gift shop were $45usd!
The good:
Marlon from entertainment was fantastic pool side entertainment and aqua aerobics was fun!!
They are constantly cleaning and mopping. Most of the staff were very helpful. Our rooms were clean and kept clean. Room service staff was excellent. The beach access is well maintained and there are lots of chairs for lounging.
Overall feel was a nice resort the pools are nice the beach was beautiful. The food was so so and the accommodations/care after our injury were less than stellar. Unsure if I'd come back.

5 stars for the entertainment and animation! Absolutely loved the night shows and beach music and dancers. Arlette and Samara are fantastic!
The hotel has Royal Elite sections so even with an adult only wristband, you can’t access a lot of amenities including a lot of alcohol which is why I gave the resort 3 stars.
