Overall, I had a lovely stay at the resort. The staff was incredibly friendly and always eager to help, which made the experience enjoyable. I really appreciated the efforts they made to keep the beach clear of seaweed. However, the dining options were hit-or-miss, and I found the spacing of the resort a bit inconvenient during hot days. Walking from one area to another felt exhausting, especially when there’s only one shuttle available.

The resort is quite expansive, which means some areas are a lengthy walk from the family buildings to the beach. It's not ideal for families with little kids.

While the food at El Gaucho was fantastic, the buffet left a lot to be desired, and I wish there were more breakfast options.

I recently spent a week at this resort and had a mix of experiences. The location was fantastic, right by the beach with beautiful views. The cleanliness of the rooms was commendable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and eager to help. However, the dining options were somewhat repetitive and lacking variety, and the constant sales pitches detracted from the overall relaxation. Despite that, I enjoyed my stay and appreciated the effort the staff put into making it special.

We had an amazing time at the resort! The staff were incredibly helpful and genuinely friendly, making our vacation memorable. While the dining options were varied and flavorful, we did notice a few hiccups such as wait times. The location was beautiful, right by the beach, but there were some construction noises during the day. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely return.

Our room was clean and offered a partial ocean view, although we found it a bit small compared to the family rooms that included a hot tub. The noise from the nearby disco was a bit of a downside.

I had a mixed experience at Sandos Playacar. The hotel offers beautiful grounds and a lovely beach, but I faced several hiccups during my stay. While the staff was generally friendly and the rooms were decent, some aspects like dining and facilities could use improvement. Overall, I enjoyed my time but wouldn't rate it as highly as I hoped.

Rooms

The room was spacious and clean, but it was quite dated and overlooked a metal fence. There were no extra touches like towel animals, which I missed.

Service was a bit inconsistent. While staff were friendly and helpful, it was frustrating when our excursion booking went wrong, and I had to spend time resolving it.

The hotel is in a lovely area, but our room was quite far from the main amenities and the beach, making it less convenient, especially for families with young children.

Dining options were variable. While I found the buffet decent, it was often lukewarm, and the wait times at a la carte restaurants were frustrating.

The facilities were nice, particularly the pools, but they felt a bit limited, especially for families. There were times when the kids club wasn't open, which was disappointing.

I just had an amazing two-week stay at Sandos Playacar with my family, and it was a fantastic vacation overall. The beach here is simply stunning, and the service I experienced was top-notch, particularly from some standout staff members. However, there were a few hiccups with food reservations and some rooms that could've been better. Still, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I can't wait to return.

Dining options were plentiful, and I loved the variety available. While the buffet was good, I found that the Asian restaurant had disappointing service and the need for earlier reservations, which was frustrating.
