We just returned from the Sandos Caracol and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had booked 7 nights, but were a day late getting there because of a flight delay. Our travel agent notified the resort and our room was ready when we arrived. Check in was a bit confusing. Reception for the Select All-Adult Section of the resort is in... More

I had a wonderful trip! I traveled with my friend from may 17-may 24. It was unlike any other resort I've been to. Wasn't a long walk from room to the beach at all. Pools were a little warm, wish they'd have been cooler and more refreshing. Loved the chill out pool but wish the bar was a swim up... More

We stayed from May 12-19, it was my first trip outside of North America so I did an extensive search through tripadvisor. I actually accidentally booked Sandos Caracol, I thought I saw Sandos PLAYACAR Adult Section on Sunwing (vacation site) but I was wrong, it was Caracol, anyway, what a great mistake to make. I'm so detail oriented that everything... More

Our experience with Sandos Caracol started off on the wrong foot. We booked through a travel agency and when we arrived, we were put in an incorrect section of the hotel (Family, rather than the Adult Select, which we had reserved and paid for). When we noticed the mistake, we asked the front desk staff for our paperwork to show... More

I loved the food. The Mexican buffet and the international buffet were great. The Italian restaurant had an amazing atmosphere. The service was top notch. The staff seemed to be having a good time working there. I highly recommend this hotel. It's about 15 min from 5th av in playa, about a $12 taxi ride. The place is big but... More
