I took my family of 4 for our last vacation of the summer. I was hesitant because the reviews made it seem like not a great place, but at least for my family that was not true at all. The food at the buffet was great, the food at the two restaurants we tried was also great and I Didn't have any trouble making reservations. There were so many things to do, we went to the waterpark a few times, its not huge but having it available for the kids was great. We caught a few shows and really enjoyed the Saturday games market thing. The staff was super pleasant and helpful. The room was fine; I will say that the pictures do make the rooms seem larger than they really are but not a big deal. Overall, a 10/10 experience for my family. I guess if you didn't have kids I would say this isn't the place for you.

We chose the adults select club option for Sandos Caracol Eco. The adult pool and beach were empty of kids most times and the there were not many adults either. A bit of an annoyance was the open air restaurant in the adult pool area, opens for families at night. So you could be swimming/lounging peacefully in the evening and have families with rowdy kids come walk by and hang around while waiting to eat. The pool cleaner also came and kicked us out earlier than the sign said the pool closed. Evidently the website is more up to date than the sign at the pool. The beach and ocean were rocky and not worth playing on or swimming in but it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL to sit and read and listen to the soft beats played by the live DJ. That beautiful experience however was constantly interrupted by the pushy massage sales from the independent sellers that have their station popped up right next to the edge of the Sandos property. Once we chose to get a massage they did start leaving us alone for that day but it was constantly saying NO to many different people about the same items. This is the main reason I will look to stay at another resort next time. The restaurant by the adult pool had the best service for breakfast and lunch but the birds were constantly flying in and landing on the buffet so we wouldn't eat that, just chose made to order cooked items, def didn't want to be sick on our trip. The drinks were ok, nothing fancy. No condiments or rims on drinks (we did tip).

Property grounds were amazing with jungle like atmosphere, Myan ruins, multi walking trails (one underground), beautiful scenery, cenotes and wildlife. There is a family of 29 spider monkeys that life at the resort along with a small zoo of rescue animals and cats. My family never had a problem getting a lounge chair at waterpark, any pool, or at the beach. Food was better than expected for an all-inclusive resort. Every staff member i encountered was super nice and accommodating. We stayed in Building #78, nestled in the jungle area yet only a 3 minute walk to lobby, and 6-8 minute walk to the beach. The check-in process was fairly slow and backed up at 3pm. I really liked the room setup with bunk beds for the kiddos and balcony overlooking a cenote with daily spider monkey visits. My only complaint per se was the lack of hot water while taking a shower. While we dont ever visit the same place twice, I would definitively go back.
