My recent stay at the Sandos Caracol Eco Resort was far from the eco-friendly paradise I had envisioned. While the resort offered a beautiful natural setting and a water park, the overall experience was marred by significant drawbacks. The stunning turquoise ocean and white sand was without a doubt, the highlight of my trip. The food on the other hand was a major disappointment. The food was not only poor quality but also excessively greasy. It was clear that the kitchen staff prioritized quantity over quality, leaving s heavy, unpleasant feeling after each dining experience. But the worst part of the whole trip was the staff. The interactions were frequently unpleasant. Rudeness seemed to be the normal, with the employees, which made me and my partner feel uncomfortable the whole stay. The beautiful ocean couldn't compensate for the food and rude staff. would not recommend visiting.

The property it’s beautiful set in tropical jungle like grounds with lots of wildlife. The rooms are comfortable, the patio felt like fish bowl so a little cramped If you don’t have children under 6 I would advise against it as the majority of guests all had children. The dining is limited with large lines waiting for food and rude guests. The drinks are ok although do feel watered down. AVOID AT ALL COSTS the beach massages, there are not resort affiliated so no fault of the resort but I had a horrible experience with inappropriate touching and language. Overall the staff are lovely, the type of guest we were surrounded by was the main issue

The resort is gorgeous with animals all over the resort. Nice little water falls and plenty of paths to walk around on. The water slides have restrictions for heights so be aware I believe most of them are 1.2meters. The lineups for food and drinks were always long and wait times were a bit concerning. Getting into the el a cartes was almost impossible only got into one for the week. Other then that it was a good stay

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left was amazing! I did find the reservation portion for restaurants difficult but not a deterrent to come back. Staff were outstanding and super friendly. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. First 2 days the shower ran pretty cool however it was a nice relief to the body from the heat. Looking forward to a return visit! Ohhh absolutely loved the wildlife (not the bug bites tho lol)

This resort has definitely gone downhill. We stayed here last year and loved it! This year they had done some expanding, so we hardly saw monkeys (which is the whole point of staying here). It was super crowded and we had to wait in line nearly every time we wanted to eat at the buffet. It was so difficult to get basic service like coffee and water at the main buffet. The staff was not friendly and mostly unhelpful. We had an amazing time last year, but after our stay this year we won’t be returning.
