We loved our stay at this massive resort! Highlights included the incredible evening shows and the fun of feeding the local farm animals. Our 2-bedroom hacienda fit five of us perfectly. Pro tip: the buffet is often better than the à la carte restaurants, though be prepared to book all restaurants in advance. Cupcake cafe was amazing.We’ll definitely be back!

The hotel is huge and some of the rooms are very far from the main areas. Most of the time the hot water pressure in the shower was very low and it was difficult to shower. Pool slides are nice but my kids found them a bit small. The food selection was good and the teens club was great for the kids but opens after 15:00.

Our recent stay was excellent. The food was awesome with such a wide variety of foods to choose from at the buffet. The food was very good at the à la cart restaurants that we went to. The beach was awesome and very relaxing. The only negative is that the rooms could definitely use some love. The employees were awesome as well. We signed up and became Royal Elite members on this trip and were very impressed with the extras that come with that. They truly make you feel like you part of the family. Thank you to everyone at Sandos. My sister and I will be there at the end of January. We look forward to seeing you all soon. 😊

10 for room being spotless, spacious, AC worked good. Staff was really nice, alot of water parks for kids and beautiful beach..definitely a kid friendly hotel. 5 - I was disappointed at the food. I could not get a reservation for a la carta restaurants..i had to go to guest service to get only 1 so we ate at the buffets during my entire stay. Buffets have a huge variety but it still gets old to eat at the same place everyday.

Room was clean and cleaning and lobby staff was very friendly. Some of the staff at restaurants or bars not so much but overall the stay was nice. My only feedback is the train system. My suggestion would be for a line to be created for those that have arrived first to ride the train. The current system put those who are vulnerable not be able to ride the train and have to wait for the next. Right now its like survival of the fittest to ride the train.

Two people made the trip excellent. The first was the young man that checked me in when I arrived. He noted the room reserved for me was a ground floor room in the family section. He suggested, given the length of me stay that I consider a room in the adult section with an ocean view. I agreed and paid the upgrade. This was an excellent recommendation. It made my stay top notch. The other person was Zyanya from the Guest Experience Team. She proactively contacted me and determined by interest in area tours and got me scheduled. She stayed in contact with me via text to see how the tours went and wheat else she could help me with. She offered to make meal reservations for me, and whatever other hotel services she could assist with. She remained in contact until the day I checked out. She was excellent in determining me needs and making my stay was pleasant. These two people make my stay wonderful. Without them it would have been an “okay” experience, with them it was an “excellent” experience.

Second time staying, some info: - If you have kids, bring a stroller, it’s a big property, the shuttle is intermittent at best - they have a tiered system, blue / black / gold bracelet system, know your status - towel cards are my enemy - don’t lose em - we had a concierge, but they didn’t contact us until day of departure, seemed weird - food was good, we didn’t try many of the restaurants, no complaints on food and bev - beach is super nice spot, I’d recommend walk down to the pier to see the famous 5th entrance - kids water park needs a lifeguard, some kids were getting run over on the slides - entertainment all good - coffee place was a hidden treat Nice overall, some quirks but worth it in my view.
