The staff at the buffet and bars were very nice. The food at the buffet was good. Rooms are in need of repairs. Outdoor property is very well kept however the rooms are the complete opposite. We booked 3 rooms. Could not get a restaurant reservation during our 6 day stay. We had water leaks under the sink and the toilet. The check in staff not friendly. We won’t be going back.

I would not recommend staying here. Three restaurants were closed. My room room did not seem clean. Also, the staff is not friendly. They only give 2 complimentary waters on arrival, after that you drink their "filtered" water or buy a bottled water for $17 USD. My room had a half- filled water jug, but it was clearly old. I will say the beach, kids activities, coffee bar and beach dinner were amazing, but it doesn't make up for the staff's attitude and aging facilities. Be sure to view the map, otherwise you are stuck with a 20 min walk to the beach, or wait for a shuttle. Oh, and my reservation was for 5 but they continually left only 4 towels, sometimes no hand towels. No big deal, except it took 30+ minutes to get through to anyone on the phone. It's like the front desk does not want to help. I understand you get what you pay for. But there are plenty of other resorts that do it way better. Don't fall for the edited photos and 10 star reviews, this place is not worth it.

I was very pleased that they upgraded me to an ocean front room! Zyanya and Samantha with Expedia at Sandos Playcar Resort were OUT OF THIS WORLD good! Their customer service was the best I ever received and I hope their manager sees this and knows how lucky the resort is to have them both working there. I love how friendly everyone is at this resort. I will be back soon

This is my new favorite resort in Cancun. We chose this one for our 15 year anniversary because it was close to the Ferry terminal and because it had a kid-free zone, but I was so pleasantly surprised by everything else it had. For starters, there's a family of spider monkeys that just hangs out on the resort. They are just amazing, and they spent the better part of a day about 10 feet from our room's front door. Then there are coati's, and they were so polite. Yes, you aren't supposed to feed them. Yes, I gave them snacks, I couldn't help it. There were so many types of birds. The food was excellent, in all of the different restaurant options. In the middle of the resort, there was an adorable donkey and a cow that I fed apples. There is an actual Cat Village with like cat condos and so forth, and little walking paths in the jungle-like grounds. And there was a cat in a little shirt and tie that hung out at the front and greeted people who checked in. They had great entertainment and the pool was really nice. The beach was easy to access and beautiful. You could see all the lights of Cozumel at night from my window. The grounds were amazing, there was kind of a mini-golf course that ran through the resort (which, btw, is big enough they have a tram system to get you places fast). Also, the service was exceptional, it was extremely clean, and they had a whole cafe with nothing but cupcakes. I'll be coming back. For sure!!!!
