Room itself was in good condition, but the mattress was worn down. I could definitely tell that 2 heavy people slept on them due to the shape of the bed. The staff are mostly very friendly and speak some English. We enjoyed free bike rides, eco tours, water park, swimming in the cenote (natural pool), snorkeling by the beach and seeing a lot of interesting fish. As people said, the food could be better, but we tried to eat as much Mexican food as we can and loved it. It's silly to expect great Italian food, etc.

The room was good and clean. The staff was nice. The waterpark was shut down for five days of our day so that wasn’t the best it made. The rest of the pool is really busy and the kids got bored. shows were good. Maria the Expedia representative on site was awesome. She helped out a lot, making dinner reservations, and letting us know about the facility.

We had a wonderful stay! The staff really made the trip with how attentive and accommodating everyone was. We had some issues with our rooms that were not able to be fully resolved and some of the resort amenities were not available during our stay due to maintenance/technical issues; however, the positives far exceeded the minor inconveniences. The activities, food options, entertainment, grounds, and again, people, were fantastic and we had an amazing stay. Would definitely repeat the trip!

First two days the water went out completely for hours. The next two days there was no hot water at all. Very disappointed as we have been here twice before with no issues. The aqua park was shut down altogether. Management did not seem to care. Certainly did not offer any sort of compensation for an expensive ruined vacation. Certainly will never return. Can no longer recommend. Expedia should be ashamed by listing this resort.

Excellent vacation! Great room, comfortable bed, outstanding cleanliness, delicious food and amazing staff. Expedia welcomed us with a bottle of champagne in our room and a message on the bed in flowers. Dinner reservations were made for us every night at a different restaurant. The couples massages were definitely a highlight and the beach was beautiful! I highly recommend this property and booking through Expedia! 10/10. Definitely an experience we will never forget!!!

The room we were in needs renovation. We were in the family eco room and the floor tiles were really gross. The shower stall as well is very run down and water pressure was very poor. Check in and check out process was very disorganized. The buffet needs to be organized differently with physical space between stations. This would help with the constant lines. Food was ok,. The aguapark only had hot dogs. The New Year's festivities only had limited seating that was reserved for VIP. No other seating to enjoy the show. Public bathrooms never seem to lock. The pool needs repair. One positive; staff at the resort are wonderful. Overall I would not recommend especially given the price. This resort is not a good value for your money.

This stay involved serious health and safety issues. We traveled with 4 families and all had food poisoning after eating at the hotel. During the stay, part of the ceiling collapsed in my room. I was moved to another room after negotiating with hotel for 8 hours. After the ceiling fell down, I discovered the room had mold issues, and garbage and debris inside the ceiling. I escalated the issues to hotel manager but no any action from them until I checked out. These conditions made the accommodation unsafe and uninhabitable. Extremely disappointing experience. I would not recommend this property.

The hotel itself had a lot of greeneries, which was nice, but the main issue was the management, it is pretty poor. The room had a lot of broken little stuff, the air conditioning was leaking water, on top of the TV and outlets... we had to change room as we did not had 2 beds (like we booked) and they lost all our luggage in the transfer, they sent everything to the wrong room ... we had to go through the management to finally get everything back after several hours. And the food is horrible, it is an all inclusive, was not expecting 5 stars food, but it was really bad. Anyway, will never go back to a Sandos chain hotel.

The positive side is the room was a good size for the three of us. There were plenty of towels for showers. The resort was beautiful and the beach was a nice stretch with plenty of beach chairs. The water park was fun. The nature trails are nice and watching the local wildlife was really fun. The negative: The ac quit after the first night and dripped water the whole time so there was a puddle in the room. Things I asked to be fixed were not. The shower the iron… etc. the resort is nice for the most part aside from the sewage smell that is everywhere. They advertise snorkeling in the cenote but snorkeling equipment was not available. They advertise restaurants beyond their buffet but there is no way to make reservations. Period. I was invited to come get a welcome kit with a map and a souvenir but it turned out to be a several hour long sales pitch and a souvenir that you must purchase. The all inclusive aspect is not as appealing as it should have been the restaurants should have been available, the resort advertising should be honest about what you get like stop lying about the fact that you have the ability to get a reservation at a sit down restaurant that isn’t just a buffet. I paid a lot of money to spend a nice holiday there with my family and was disappointed from day 2. The food in the buffet is ok and there is something for everyone but I wasn’t impressed. No chance I’ll recommend this place or return.
