Dear Fred, Thank you so much for your review. We took good note of your observation. We hope it won't be too long before we have the honor of serving you again. Best Regards
Some staff were a little pushy about the special revisits to the property. The construction blocked some paths. The hot water in the room struggled to keep hot. Loved the overall property. Beautiful. Ecodiverse. Lots to do.

not worth the money
Cons:
hotel needs a renovation
When booking my vacation package I picked a united flight above all others because they allow full size carryon. Travelocity sold me basic economy seats which separated my senior parents and my 5 year old daughter, there was no carryon allowed only a personal item. I also requested to have adjoin rooms with my parents because but was not honored that at the hotel. Also requested king size beds and received both rooms with 2 queens. the room service was not included as indicated online. I have purchased vacations thru Travelocity plenty of times and this time I was very dissatisfied. This hotel needs updating, beds are over used.

Nice to be with kids with more activities. They love to be in water all the time. Also,It’s like outside Mexico is in the resort. We had a wonderful time with lot of options for food with so many restaurants. But, didn’t get a chance to try the Japanese food as they need reservation which was full during our stay. Rooms need to maintained properly with latest upgrades. Overall I recommend those with kids should visit and enjoy the tropical paradise.

Huge resort. There is always something to do. We were there a week and still didn't get to do everything. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Thank you for your comments
Is there a better place to escape the winter Chicago doldrums than sunny Playa del Carmen? This resort makes you feel like you are in a private jungle. We enjoyed roaming the various nature paths, seeing the local wildlife, made friends with an armless monkey, swam in the cenote, built sandcastles on the beach and also found time to do nothing at all! Hungry? Go to the Brazilian steakhouse! Thirsty? Have a margarita! Are your kids sick of the beach, pool or water park? Send them to Kids Club! They have a great variety of things to do during the day. The staff is very friendly and responsive. The concierge desk was very helpful when we couldn’t start our rental car on the way to the airport. We made it, BTW! This is a step beyond your typical all-inclusive resort. Our only complaint is we did not have a screen door on our balcony, so we could not listen to the night-time sounds. Overall, we would highly recommend to families with young children.

Dear Guest, We would like to thank you the time you have taken for sharing such great things about your recent stay at Sandos Caracol. It is wonderful to know that you felt welcomed by us and that your experience was a pleasant one. We will be hoping for your return soon so you can enjoy our services again. Sincerely,
Had an awesome time
Pros:
Food, service, the feel of the buildings and the design of the grounds, activities for kids, and overall atmosphere.
Cons:
maybe have one more full bar for the grownups. Sometimes had to walk to get a drink. Beach is not super-swimmable, but nothing to do about that.
Location:
Xel-Ha is the place to go if you have an excursion option. Just an incredible place to swim.. Tulum is amazing, but kids tired of it quickly.
OK, I'm not usually into all-inclusive set-ups because I've had poor experiences in the past at places where the food is very mediocre, the staff is not friendly, or the place is just run-down. Sandos Caracol was not that way at all! It was truly great. First, know that this is a family-friendly place, and if it was just me and my wife, I might want something a bit more upscale and less focused on activities. However, we had three kids in tow, and it was a perfect match. There was plenty to do on the property between the waterpark and the cenote (sinkhole) snorkeling. Food was really good. The international Buffet is the place where most folks go, and despite being the de-facto cafeteria, it had plenty of variety and the service was terrific. The only exception was the Brazilian steak restaurant, and there the meat was dry and over cooked. I give them a pass on that because it was very busy, but it was a little disappointing. The service on ALL levels was excellent. Room service was always polite, no matter how many times my kids ordered sandwiches and desserts during the day. The restaurant staff were likewise polite and attentive. Also, the people who helped to organize the activities (Yeleni was our helper) were excellent. They all seemed to be having fun on the job, and that rubbed off on us. By the end, we wanted to stay longer, which is NEVER the norm for me. We will be back!
