Sandos Playacar - Sunny Paradise

Todd Cardillo - May 27th, 2010

We stayed at the All-Inclusive Sandos Playacar Beach Resort and Spa for our daughters 7th birthday. We are a family of 5. My wife, and I, along with our 3 children (7, 4, and 2).

The kids did great on the flight, and when we arrived more +we were immediately brought to our a suite that was plenty big enough for all of us. We stayed in the Rivera section of the resort. This is the newest section, and is not beach view, however, the rooms are modern with 2 double beds, a pull out couch, and a sitting area with a big flat screen TV. The bathroom had a Jacuzzi tub that could fit all of us, as well as a glassed in shower stall, and a counter top with 2 sinks.

There were 4 large pools that wind throughout the Rivera buildings. We had a corner room, with a wrap-around balcony that overlooked the Rivera kids pool, and was very close the the Rivera Blue restaurant.

The rooms also had a mini refrigerator that was stocked every day with water, soda, and cervasas. The food was great at all the buffets, and restaurants. They have multiple restaurants for dinner (steakhouse, brazilian, Japanese, Italian, etc.) Be sure to try all the authentic Mexican dishes. They are great, especially their salsa and guacamole.

The beach area was awesome. Since there was no other resorts to the north of Sandos, you could walk for miles and not see anyone. The kids enjoyed body surfing in the waves, but we always ended in the refreshing pool afterwards. The pools here are amazing as well. Large, clean, and plenty of lounge chairs to sit and relax. The resort is very large, but we enjoyed walking around and taking in the sights. If you don't feel like walking, you can wait for a small shuttle (golf cart) that will bring you to the beach / lobby area.

This resort is only a 5 minute cab ride to Playa del Carmen. Everyone should walk around this town at least once. We took the kids and they enjoyed shopping, and seeing how other people live. Drinks and service was great all week. If you don't like something, just ask and they are more than happy to accommodate you. Tip are not expected, however, they deserve them. In summary, the only thing we would change about this trip, would be the duration. Next year we hope to go back for 2 weeks instead of 1.
