Upon my arrival , I was not greeted by any staff or offered a welcome drink. The guy with the welcome drinks walked right past my co worker and I. Upon waiting 1 hour to check in , the woman refused to give us the room we paid for which was described as 2 queen beds , AC , Adult only and a tub. Unfortunately, we were placed in a room with two full beds , no working AC and no tub (a dirty shower ). After a long flight we were extremely hungry and tired asked for assistance with the broken AC but no one came. We went for a early dinner at the French restaurant and decided to not show to our second reservation of the night because of the distance/couldn’t find it(the shuttle was always full and/or didn’t show in a 15/30 min period . Friday night , unfortunately we slept in heat! Saturday 09/14 Unfortunately. Maintenance was sent Saturday morning, he attempted to fix the AC , it worked for about 4 hours and completely stopped. I proceeded to the beach bar where they used the cheapest tequila present to make my drink (instant stomach ache) . After the beach we returned back to the room and we had a dinner reservation a few hours away. Follow this we left the room and proceeded to have dinner. Upon arriving to the Brazilian steak house a waitress named Cynthia asked that we wait 15 mins while she cleans off table (at this time she chose to sit only white or Hispanic couples ) she displayed pure discrimination, after waiting 15 mins patiently she rejected us and told

I had some much expectations for this hotel, I visited it 8 years ago and it was great. But it change so much. Food was not great, some fruit from the buffet were bad and not entertainment at all around the pool or the hotel in general, drinks were not good, staff were not that friendly as I am use to in others hotels in Mexico. It is big and beautiful but it needs a lot of work to make Sandos Playacar of what it was before. Elena from the Italian restaurant was amazing and Naileth from the Brazilian Restaurant were the best. The rest of staff were ok. The Beach was gorgeous and made my stay very much fun.

Liked: Staff & service
CONS: 1) Hard to book dining options ( can only use the web app, or do walk in at very early hours). There are no alternatives for booking, and the staff in person made it hard to book dining. 2) Poor check in service. No offer of a welcome beverage despite the long check in process. None of the amenities were described without me asking many questions. I had to remind the staff to give me a towel card. The room bracelet is a great idea, but it is a little gross knowing that you wear it 24/7 and cannot remove it to wash or rinse it.The web app has the only version of a map of the large property. It is hard to read and challenging to zoom in on the map.Hopefully the property can introduce a GPS version of the map in their app to help figure out directions better. 3) Poor shuttle service. Very vague signs as to the stop locations, and such crowded conditions that I realized early on, its best to walk around the property to get anywhere in a timely fashion 4) Poor lack of signage. Signs that were present were difficult to read or in odd spots that you could not find them. 5) Lack of enforcement of areas: Staff did not enforce "adult only zones" 6) Frequent Upselling PRO: 1) Good BellBoy service. They take your belongings and immediately give a receipt, whether it is when you first come to the lobby, or request a pickup prior to your check out. 2) Good food. Despite challenging to obtain restaurant reservations, the food was pretty good overall. 3) Wide water options

We stayed in the 6000 block which is far from the main buffet and beach. It wouldn’t be an issue if they had an adequate shuttle bus system. When we stayed mid June they had one or two shuttle busses running thru the day but there were too many visitors and it was not enough. The lines were long and you had people walking up and rushing on the bus — if you’re not fast or have kids / strollers get ready to wait or walk every single time. My family members had different issues with their rooms. One other room in block 6000 flooded after a night of rain. A room in the adult section had no ac the entire stay and all they could do was offer a fan. Yes you read that right, a FAN. Another family in 6000 block walked into their room after check in and there was a couple showering. We stayed 6 nights and were able to get reservations to the restaurants only after our 4th night. I will not return to this place and don’t recommend.

I just spent 5 days at the Sandos Playacar. It was a great property for a family vacation. The beach was absolutely beautiful. I wish they had more entertainment around the pool. It is not a resort for young adult who want to party. The DJ at the club could not entertain the crowd. This resort is perfect for the kids from 0-15 . The resort needs more animation around the pool, in the Teen Club and in the night club. Regardless of the lack of entertainment- I will still recommend
