Beds were hard. Discover cards are not excepted. For such a large RESORT I found it hard to believe they could never make change for even a $20 dollar bill!! (Even at the store on the grounds)

The property was beautiful, and we had a great time but we could have done without the concierge who's sole purpose was to get me to attend a time share and when I chose not to applied pressure like a car salesman. As for the dining options, they were pretty good but once on property, I was informed that getting into one of the places for dinner Club Bistro, was not possible unless I'm an owner.

This property was average. I would not stay here again. Food was not good, it was hard or without flavor. Drinks were watered down. I got the all inclusive and was told several times that some items were not included in the all inclusive. Employees had terrible attitudes, only 1 employee was very polite and helpful, shout out to nacho who helped us book an activity and find our way around the hotel because front desk did not even do that.

This was a very well maintained property. Like different all-inclusive they had few restaurants onsite. They served good while some food and a great spread too. The specialty restaurants were okay. They pools were cleaned regularly and water tested. The sands was the highlights … clean white and very well maintained. The slope was shallow and allowed kids to play in water. The drinks were good. I would strongly recommend. And also no forcing on time share presentations

Check in was horrible. First off, this was our second time at the Sands, our 7th time to Cancun. Now back to our story. Our flight got cancelled and rescheduled twice before our trip due to weather issues. In the end we were going to arrive early to our hotel. Our four kids got up at 3 am to make our flight, it was brutal. I called ahead to the hotel and told them our situation and asked if we were able to at least get our wrist bands and eat while our room became ready since our kids were going to be so tired and we had paid for 10 days, in a 2 room all-inclusive suite. I was assured that they would take care of us. When we got there, my youngest daughter felt sick. She was not feeling well at all. The check in lady said we could not get our wrist bands since we were 40 mins early from their normal check in time and that we would have to pay for lunch. I told her that I had called ahead and was assured they would take care of us. She could not care even a little. I told her my daughter wasn’t feeling well. Again, she could care less. We told her we paid $10k for 10 days and asked if she was being serious? She could care less. It was beyond frustrating. And honestly, I will never go back for the simple reason that you do not treat your customers like they are asking for a hand out when you should be overwhelming them with great customer service. She literally made us wait 40 mins to get our wrist bands. It was horrible. We will never be back.
