We stayed select adult only section. Rooms were outdated but had everything you need. Beds were comfy and pillows were all good. Shower size was nice. Toilet had seperate area with an actual fan. Only downfall in area was the size of balcony. Food options i would say is this resorts downfall. Breakfast always consisted, food at adult only pool was ok but main buffet for lunch and supper was very minimal. Expected more for size of resort. Shows were all pretty good. Best quality of resort for us was the monkeys everywhere and the adult pool, which is missing music and entertainment IMO. We would return again.

Just spent a week at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort. The resort itself was excellent from the staff, the rooms, the activities, and the food selection. The beach is not the best that’s for sure but that is something out of the resorts control. Highly recommend the a la carte restaurants. This resort does not deserve the negative reviews it receives.

Save your money and stay home! The eco portion of this resort was the best part. It had beautiful walking paths, waterfalls, and a suspension bridge. There was a pond to snorkel in, although the resort only provided life jackets, not masks and snorkels. We had to rent ours from the stand at the beach for $10 US per person. No one we asked could confirm this so we spend our morning walking back and forth from the pond to the beach and back again. Overall I found the staff to be incredibly rude. When I asked the concierge for a bandaid I was met with a huff and an eye roll. Some staff were, friendly, and accommodating, but overall I felt like a burden and annoyance asking for anything, especially in the sit down restaurants. The Royal Elite restaurant booked us a 10:00 PM reservation only to play the music so loud at 10:30 PM that we had to leave. They clearly wanted us and the other handful of tables there to leave. We had a late flight out so we rented a cabana on the beach. We had paid cash to the activities person the day before to book this. Upon checking out we were told that we did not in fact pay, and would need to provide a credit card for this. I argued with the front desk person till we were about to miss our transport, and my husband had to run around the resort to find the person we paid cash to and bring her to the front desk. The waterslides shown on the cover photo- that we specifically booked this resort for were also closed- we were never notified.

Terrible. Underwhelming. Overpriced. I honestly don’t know where to start. From the bugs that bit me up while sleeping, to the uncleanliness of the cleaning staff… honestly.. even the hot water in the room barely worked. I would be laying in bed and trails of ants and other bugs would be biting me or crawling over my things. I made coffee and went to get food and come back. The coffee cup was covered with bugs within 20 minutes. All doors closed. A/c on coldest settings. Room

The pool was green, it’s smells when walking around the resort. Made reservations for one of the restaurants with the concierge, when we went we were not on the list. Etc never again

Facility Issues, poor service and food poisoning. We were disappointed that half of the water park was closed. Then the hotel experienced maintenance problems, including a complete loss of water and power. When we sought help for plumbing issues due to half our family's food poisoning, the only alternative offered was to stay in the lobby. We had reported our food concerns to management, but there was no record when I followed up later. We requested a refund, for the night we had to stay off site to have plumbing (mopping vomit by phone flashlight, not great), and the staff told us to contact Expedia for assistance, claiming they could not help us directly. When Expedia followed up on our behalf, our request was denied by the resort, indicating a lack of willingness to resolve issues. While waiting to address our concerns, I overheard multiple interactions that highlighted the resort's troubling approach to customer service. The resort offered a complimentary doctor for my son, who was suffering from food poisoning (from the resort). The doctor was wonderful, but the situation soured when we were informed that there would be a $250 charge for the complimentary service. While the offer of medical assistance was appreciated, the attempt to charge us for it seemed exploitative. If things go well you will love the resort, if anything goes wrong they will do nothing to help. If I erase the 48 hours described above it was a lovely trip.

We stayed here six years back with little kids and returned with another family and teens. There’s lots to do, decent food at any time (a new app to make reservations easier) and sunny perfection. The staff was helpful and kind. We saw monkeys almost daily early about 7-8am near the swings or water park. The biggest slides of the park are closed due to maintenance and one night power went out. The staff did a great job pivoting. One of our five kids did get food poising that lasted about 24 hours. The rest of us had no issues. Overall a great experience

The hotel rooms were nice and easily accesible. The property was beautiful and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The all-inclusive package was convenient and the food and drinks were great. We had just a few issues. First, we went during spring break and the water park for older kids/adults was inoperable. Closed down for repairs. Second, the restaurant that was advertised to be open until 6am closed down at 5am. This was a problem because there were no restaurants open at 6am, when pickup for tours begins at 7am. The tour we went on was Chichén Itza, so we were expecting a 12-hour day away from the hotel. It was imperative with a teenager that we get food but when I communicated this to the management, he casually disregarded me and explained the the shift turns over at 5am to the next shift so that is why the restaurant “El Nido” wasn’t open, even though it’s hours are listed until 6am. We were given an apple and a piece of bread and sent on our way. So I suggest you call ahead and see if the water park is open, if that’s important to you. Also, make sure you plan your outings accordingly so that you aren’t starving because of the lack of early morning restaurant hours.
