I had such a nice time at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort! The natural setting dazzled me with rich wildlife, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making my stay enjoyable. However, I found the bathrooms in need of updates, and some of the public areas felt too hot, lacking proper air conditioning. Overall, the beautiful surroundings and relaxation options made up for the minor drawbacks I experienced.

My stay at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort was unique, filled with vibrant wildlife and friendly service. However, some aspects, like the dining reservation system and the occasional room-related issues, were a bit frustrating. Overall, it was a nice experience, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

The eco superior room was clean and comfortable, but the cleaning service was inconsistent, and I wish it included more replenishment of coffee and water without needing to ask constantly. Plus, the WiFi was solid.

Most staff were friendly and helpful, but after declining membership to the elite club, the service seemed to drop, making it harder to get through to reception.

Nestled in a quiet, jungle-like setting just outside Playa del Carmen, the resort's natural surroundings were beautiful and relaxing, with plenty of wildlife to enjoy.
Dining

The buffet was decent but a bit repetitive over two weeks. The specialty restaurants like El Temple and Los Lirios had amazing food, but the reservation system can be tricky, especially with some restaurants closing to families on certain nights.
Facilities

The resort features a variety of amenities, including a fun water park and on-site activities, but I did find the reservation process for dining a hassle since many options were booked out quickly.

I had a really good time at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort, but there were a few bumps along the way. The lush jungle setting was beautiful, filled with wildlife, and the adult-only area was a nice retreat. However, the dining options were hit or miss, and at times, the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay, but with room for improvement.

My stay at Sandos Caracol was quite a mix. I appreciated the beautiful surroundings and the friendly service from staff like Antonio and Nestor, who made my boyfriend's birthday special. However, I faced issues with the restaurant reservations, limited dining options, and the somewhat uncomfortable accommodations. Overall, it had its highs and lows.

Rooms

The room we received fell short of our expectations, being cramped and not exactly what we were promised. It was just a king-size bed and a sun bed, which didn’t work well for our family of three.

While there were some highlights with excellent service from staff like Antonio and Nestor, the overall experience left much to be desired, especially with restaurant seating and attention.

The resort’s location in the midst of a jungle setting was lovely and peaceful, though I found the small beach area a bit limiting, especially with seaweed issues in the water.

The dining experience was hit-or-miss, with limited options and frequent waits due to confusion over reservations, but I enjoyed the live mariachi music at the Mexican fiesta.

Although the pools and beach areas were nice, the gym was a letdown due to its small size and lack of equipment.

I had a mixed experience at Sandos Caracol. While the natural surroundings and wildlife, like the family of monkeys near my balcony, created a unique atmosphere, the food and beach left much to be desired. The lack of reliable service and room conditions further diminished my enjoyment.
