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.
Rooms

The room was spacious with a jacuzzi tub and offered a decent view of the pool. While it was comfortable, I found it to be a bit older than expected.

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.
Rooms

Our room was clean and had a lovely view of the greenery and adult pool. However, there was a noticeable sewer smell during showers, and the balcony lights were too bright at night, disrupting the peaceful atmosphere.

The resort is beautifully situated, with well-maintained paths and easy access to the beach. It's a bit of a hike from the airport, which can add to travel time, but the scenery is rewarding.

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
7.0
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.
