We had a lot of fun here, felt safe and enjoyed the variety of things to do. We were there for a week with another family and our young children. The bugs definitely come out at night and the animals can be food aggressive so you have to be careful not to let your kids hold food in some outdoor areas.

A good family resort. Lots of things for families to do and see. Water park, bike rides, tennis, pickle ball, paddle, cenote swimming and river snorkel. Wildlife at the resort is incredible. Grounds need some tending too. Public washrooms have doors that are broken, toilet seats missing, this was the case in all public rest rooms. The beach is very rocky with a small spot for swimming. Wouldn’t be so bad if you brought water shoes. Room we stayed in was updated and perfect for a family of four. This is not an unlimited à la carte resort so be prepared to eat at the buffet some evenings.

Sandos eco resort has a lot of positives but also some negatives. Positives- jungle with lots of wild life, beach, cenote, water park, cleanliness, fun shows each night. Negatives- service, food, drinks, though I did enjoy some of it. The restaurant reservations were difficult to get and they told us we could only have three reservations during our 9 day stay. I would not stay at this resort again for the few negatives, since there are other all inclusive resorts in the area that offer much better service.

We loved this hotel as a family. Tons to do! Out of our 7 days, we never felt bored. We had no desire to leave the hotel because there was so much we could do on site. The only downside was no hot water in our room which made it extremely difficult with an infant and toddler. Beyond that, we loved our stay.

What a magical resort! It’s a great place for a family vacation. We loved seeing the monkeys, coatis, and iguanas. The cenotes and natural surroundings were the main reasons we chose this resort. All the restaurant options were fabulous! We especially loved the Japanese restaurant, El Tempo. One great benefit of booking through Expedia is that the hotel concierge will make three restaurant reservations for you. The weather wasn’t ideal for us, but we embraced it—snorkeling in the rain and even spotting a small stingray at the resort’s beach. Be sure to bring water shoes, and you’ll have no trouble walking on the rocky parts of the shore. The rooms were perfect for families, and the bunk beds were an incredible option! The staff were fabulous and so was the night time shows. What a gem of a place! We can’t wait to return!

There were some wonderful aspects of this property but overall our experience was extremely frustrating. Though I booked directly through Expedia (family room 2 adults, 2 kids ages 6 & 9), my reservation showed up for the resort as if I reserved with another company (PriceTravel?) and listed my children as babies. Due to this error, we arrived and were told we owed 5000 pesos (~$250) to cover the cost of the children. Additionally, the resort said they only received part of the money I paid expedia and ultimately told us we owed more money for the kids. I don't know if it was expedia's error or the resort's, but half of my vacation was spent dealing with this mistake. Neither the resort or expedia was helpful in resolving the issue. Restaurants were another source of frustration. If you are not a royal elite, it's nearly impossible to make a reservation at a non-buffet restaurant. No one told us until the 2nd day that reservations open online at midnight for the next day and are gone in minutes. It took complaining to 4 staff and 2 supervisors before they made us a reservation. The food was OK, but not great. The positives are that the property is beautiful. Despite rainy weather, there were a lot of really special activities (snorkeling in the river & cenote, exploring Mayan ruins) and those staff were fantastic. Our room was nice and cleaned regularly. The grounds were beautiful to explore, and the animals were particularly fun to see (monkeys, coatis, raccoons, birds).
