We liked the ease of getting questions answered and getting transportation or booking trips. Many staff available with expertise in each area. We did not like how far from the beach we were and the quality of the beach area. We thought we were going to an adults o lunch resort. As it turns out, there were kids everywhere. The only adult area was our room and one boring pool.

The good: Huge property with lots of activities included. Select club pool, hot tub and restaurant were great! Friendly and accomodating staff. There were extra activities we saw each day but didnt know about in advance to plan on attending. The bad: El nido snack bar was just 2 ice cream machines and nothing else. Disco club is very far to get to from rooms. Activities listed on schedule in room do not line up with the actual offerings each day.

Disappointing

Pros: The size is very manageable to walk around. There are a good variety of bars and restaurants.
Cons: Room was in need of updating. The walls had old chipped paint and sinks drained very slowly. Also the hot water is not regulated well.
Location: The water is beautiful but there was so much seaweed it was hard to go into. The port in Playa del Carmen is easy to get to.
This trip was a delayed 25th anniversary trip for myself and my husband. I booked the upgraded select room in the adult only section with a Jacuzzi tub. Upon check in we were shown on the hotel map where our room would be at but the room was not ready. Then when we came back at the time told we were instructed to wait for the next golf cart to take us and our luggage to our room. It took a half an hour for them to come take us and there were other people on our cart also. They started driving to the family side (which we thought was for other couple). When we stopped we were told it was our building and were taken to our room. When we went in and looked around we saw there was no Jaccuzi. It was a junior suite and to top it off was out by the pool which had many loud children! I called the front desk and was told we needed to bring our luggage back to reception. We walked it up ourselves rather than wait however long it would have taken to go back (luckily the resort is very walk-able). When we arrived at reception we were immediately told that we had been informed they did not have the room we originally booked a were "upgraded" to the junior suite. We had not been informed at all! The basically said we had to stay in that room and they would try to get us into our original room the next day. We were only there 4 days and did not feel moving rooms was acceptable and kept the suite. This room was in dire need updating.

Great time at sandos caracol

We just returned from a 5 day stay and it exceeded our expectations!! We typically stay in 4.5-5 star resorts so we had reservations of staying at a 3.5 star hotel and didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be our favorite vacation ever. We stayed in the Select Club. If you can- Stay in Select club!! Check-in was a breeze.They took us to the private check in and were checked in immediately. The rooms were spacious and nice. We have stayed in more luxurious rooms however this room was nicer than our Sandals room which was supposedly 5 star. Again, way better than expected for the price. The rooms well appointed, clean and spacious. The Select Club beach club and pool were peaceful and beautiful. The staff were amazing. Best service of any resort we have stayed in. 5 star service for sure! Beach was beautiful. We didn't get in but heard from other guests it was rocky. The grounds were beautiful. Yes, we walked alot but we chose to as there is so much to see. The best part for us was the wildlife and you can tell the staff love them and take great care of them. The food was the only place where I could tell the difference bt this resort and a 5 star. The buffets were comparable and good but the ala cartes were just okay. If you read any bad reviews it is most likely bc their expectations were unrealistic and they did not book the proper resort for them. This is a great, beautiful eco resort with wonderful staff!

Wonderful getaway for our honeymoon

The Sandos Eco Caracol hotel was wonderful. The staff were amazing and very attentive. The grounds were well kept, the food was decent, the drinks were good, our room was nice. The adults only section was fantastic both at the pool and the beach. We spent most of the week at the resort. We are definitely planning another trip back, maybe with kids next time.

Great Stay at Sandos Caracol

Pros: Friendly staff. Good food. Lots to see on the resort---jungle, animals, beach, ruins, and shows.
Cons: Lots of kids in adults-only beach water. Golfcarts constantly going up and down the small walkways, you have to move out of their way.
Location: Playa del Carmen, Alux Restaurant (inside a cave!)
This was our first time in Mexico. Let me start by saying that I was very concerned by two things I kept reading in the reviews.....the rocky beach and the food. First off, we loved the food, especially for an all-inclusive resort. We did hibachi the first night at El Templo and it was fantastic. Then we did Italian at La Toscana for lunch AND dinner on our second night and thought it was awesome! I had parmesan shrimp atop risotto. We didn't try the other restaurants because we are not big fish or meat eaters. The rocky beach that some called "useless" was NOT useless! The beach itself is beautiful. In the water, I wore water shoes, per review suggestions and was happy that I did so. However, my husband chose to forego his and had no complaints. After climbing over some very rocky patches, we got to sand and spent hours in the ocean. The rocks would have been more of a concern to me if I had my children with me. But for a couple, I thought it was fine. The staff was all very friendly and hardworking, but only a few of them spoke good English. So just be prepared for that. We did see raccoons and monkeys and lizards while walking around the resort. The monkey (with a baby!) was the highlight of my resort-roaming. Only thing I didn't like is that the adults-only rooms are the furthest from the beach. There is no swim-up bar at the adults pool (or late night bar). Lots of kids in the adult beach section, but were told they were "locals."
