I had an amazing experience at Sandos Playacar for my wedding. The beach was stunning, and our wedding setup was perfect with our toes in the sand. However, I found the alcohol to be a bit watered down, and while the buffet food got repetitive, the specialty restaurant offerings were solid. Overall, the resort provided a memorable time despite some minor hiccups.

I had a delightful stay at the resort, enjoying the stunning beach and beautiful grounds filled with lush vegetation. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making every moment feel special. Though the dining experience varied, with some fantastic meals and a few misses, the overall value for money was great, especially for families. However, the distance from the airport and occasional construction noise were minor inconveniences.

My stay was a mix of great experiences and some letdowns. The spin sessions were absolutely fantastic, with well-maintained bikes and motivating instructors. However, the spa experience left a lot to be desired, as it felt more like an afterthought than a true resort offering. The adult-only section was well organized but could have used more bar options. Overall, while I enjoyed my time there, there are definitely areas for improvement.

Rooms

The rooms were decent but lacked special furnishings. It featured two king-sized beds, a large wardrobe, and a stocked minibar, which was nice. Overall, I'd rate them a 7 out of 10.
