Ill start wiith the good. This resort is great if you have kids. There are many activities available throughout the day. The waterpark is perfect for all ages. The resort is beautiful - lush, clean, well maintained for the most part. The food is okay in the buffets, we went to 2 other restaurants. La Riviera we ordered the greek salad to start which was a tasteless mix of limp lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. For mains we had the pork, steak and chicken. The steak was good cooked medium rare as ordered. The pork was a hard dried out piece of leather which was inedible. The chicken was okay. We waited over an hour for our mains, and because they were so terrible we ended up going to the buffet after. La Toscana was better, food was delicious and service was professional and friendly. We didnt have a single decent dessert the entire week, just dried out tasteless squares of various color and size. There are line ups for every meal at the buffet. You will wait. There are lineups for drinks including coffee. The average time it took to get a coffee at the lobby bar was 30 minutes in the morning. Bars are understaffed resulting in long waits for pretty much everything. For this reason, we wont be coming back. A good portion of everyday was spent standing in lines. Some staff were friendly others not so much. It was a mix. All in all i suggest reading a lot of reviews before booking this resort.

Where do I start. The resort is huge and there’s lots of walking to the buffet and or beach. The food at this resort is literally horrible. The buffet has the same food everyday. You have to wait in line for breakfast to get an omelette for min 20-30 min because they refuse to add another cook. The rest of the breakfast food is with empty or ice cold. The restaurants serve the buffet food except it’s worse. The staff are more worried about cleaning the tables than serving the guests needs. It was a real disappointment to say the least. The beach is disgusting filled with garbage. You can’t swim in the ocean due to the rocks lining the ocean floor. The only good thing about this resort are the monkeys and raccoons which we fed every morning while on the deck. The kids waterpark was closed down half the time we were there and the shorter kids couldn’t use the bigger slides. The lunch at the slides was hot dogs and hamburgers which literally took 45 min to get. The whole resort is run very poorly. Seriously if you are thinking of going to this resort, don’t. Spend the extra money and go somewhere else. Absolutely horrible.

This was our 4th visit to this resort, and I have to say that this resort is going downhill. The food is not very good and the new snack shack is terrible. The dining options are limited to 2 buffets as all the other restaurants are always completely booked. Dinner service shuts down at 9 pm, so if you want any snacks after, room service is your only option, if you want to wait another 2 hours for it. The buffets serve the exact same thing every night, and the bar ran out of basic alcohol so much that the buffets could not serve it either. I used to love this resort for all its options and variety but I was more than disappointed with it. We have a timeshare here and I doubt we will ever be back, as I don’t feel it’s worth the money you spend to stay here. Huge disappointment this time!

Sandos was fun in that we got to see wildlife, but the staff would forget our drinks at every restaurant/buffet (yes we were tippers). Bathrooms were typically out of toilet paper very frequently, and the pools were very cloudy except in adults only section. It was extremely hard to get reservations at any of the restaurants, but when we managed to, half the restaurant was empty even though their reservation system stated they were full. Seems like they are wanting most guests to use the cheap buffet, which was not very appetizing. Tue beach was fun to look for shells and sea life, but there was no good sandy portion to walk into the water without tripping over rocks and dead coral. We won’t return to a sandos resort, instead we will pay an extra $500 for a 5 star next time. Our transport with smart go was easy, simple and friendly, definitely recommend them for airport transfers.

Spent 3 days with no air conditioning in our numerous requests to have it fixed. Food with not great and good luck trying to get in to the ala carts. You have to wait until booking opens up at 12:00am for the next day! Otherwise you will not get in. However, if you are able to get in the ala carts are sub par. You will not able to get into the Japanese or the Brazilian unless you are Royal Elite. I don’t recommend this hotel.
