I would go somewhere else!
Sandos eco resort looked great online. We upgraded to the penthouse suite with the hot tub on the balcony. When arriving we didn't get a good overview of the resort. Then getting to the room it was nice. But we ended up having engineering there 4 separate times to fix separate things. Then management didnt seem to care or want to move us. The water for the tub / shower were cold. Along with all of the pools and jacuzzi. They keep the water temps starting at 70 deg F. Which after getting a massage we would have liked to sit in a HOT tub to relax. The jetted tub the jets didn't work and took 30min to fill. So save your money and don't upgrade! We pick this place for tge adults only area. But there were kids everywhere. Which you cannot have any beverage by the pool or jacuzzi. The alcohol was the bottom shelf liquor. No name brands except for at the beach bar. Which then there was only one I recognized. The restaurants, most food was goid. But the buffets close to change over and there are tines you cannot get anything to eat. Also the popular restaurants you have yo make reservations for. But the only open up the reservations at 12am for the day. If you are not on right then to get reservations, you will not get reservations at the restaurants. The buffets and taco bar are walk in. The beach is really rocky! Bring water shoes to wear on the beach or go into the water. Goid points: the spa was great. Also seeing all the animals and cenote.

We had an amazing family vacation. Staff were super attentive and friendly at all times even waiting a few mins at the check in we got offered drinks right as we arrived. My kids ages 5 & 7 loved the water park. Plenty of snacks, food and drinks for everyone. Enjoyed all the wild animals on the property and the magical cenote which is a natural pool.

4/10 Fair

The property was run down, the food at all the restaurants was very bland and much of it was inedible. One meal everyone’s plate came out cold and soggy. The drinks were terrible, they all were watered down and none of them even tasted like what you ordered and some when asked what ingredients were added, they were completely wrong. There weren’t really any activists to do each day, at the property and the ones that were provided were pretty boarding. The rooms were kind of run down and items were broken or starting to break. I don’t think the cost of the property is up to par with what I paid. I would tell anyone that was thinking of staying her that it isn’t worth the cost.

Other than the beautiful natural surrounding, everything else was just an inconvenience, most staff was not very friendly or helpful. Food was OK at best, bar drinks were horrible. The adult only area lacked amenities.

This an eco resort. Therefore, the pools were not the cleanest. Also, the staff was nice enough, but nothing special about the accommodations and treatment.

The spa was great, so was the greenery around the property. The food ZERO stars, and staff was not very accommodating, several instances where we were upset after interactions with staff. Forget trying to book a restaurant, the app doesn't work. The drinks also not good, if you are ok with bottom tier liquor, and flat beer. The TVs in some of the rooms were so old, it seemed like we were watching a vintage game. Look elsewhere!

We loved all the animals on site!! However my husband and myself got quite sick the first couple days, we assume it was the food. This did happen also the last time we came here. I dont think we will return because of it!! We also booked this hotel for the watersides but quickly found out that our 8 year old who is 4.5 feet tall couldnt go on the big ones...so that was disappointing as well!!! The pools are also quite warm and provide no relief from the hot sun. The cenote was amazing!! Probably our favorite part ! Overall i would give this hotel a 4/10 rating

The property was in the jungle and was beautiful! The adult pool was really nice but the water was warm. The other pools were mediocre. Lots of dining options but food and drinks were just “o’k”. We went there for the wildlife and we’re not disappointed. We saw monkeys almost everyday! That was awesome! Employees were all very nice. Front desk is small and it took 1 1/2 hours to check in!

Overall it was good., The jungle environment was great and the kids enjoyed seeing all the different animals. Staff were friendly and attended to all our requests/queries. Pool facilities were also decent. Area for improvement - The hotel offers an international restaurant, an italian restaurant and a mexican restaurant option where reservations are not required. The food choice and quality here was average. Whilst the Italian restaurant had very little Italian food options. System to book restaurants (japanese and brazilian) that required a reservation was unfair. People were required to log in at midnight to a reserve a table. We tried a number of times and were unsuccessful. We complained and were given a reservation at the japanese restaurant.
