Awful customer experience

Luiz C (Mexico) on May 02, 2024

Queue for every restaurant, 75 minutes for a check in, "Guest Service" who didn't even want to talk about the issues. 8 different restaurants that you have to make reservations, but are always full. You arrive with your family, everybody is tired, long trip. all you want is get to the room, take a shower, eat something and relax. At Sandos? forget about it! After waiting 75 minutes on a queue for the check-in (that only took me 5 minutes to do it) we went to the room leave the luggage and went to the Italian restaurant, needed a reservation, fine, than to the Japanese, also needed a reservation. Ok, any who does not need a reservation? Yes, the one with another hour of queue. The installations are good, to food is good, the waiters and waitresses are polite, but it is clear to me that the resort should have at least 50% more people to handle the number of guests, also a proper training on those at the "lobby" would make a much better experience from the customer point o view.

Dream wedding

Dawn B on May 01, 2024

We had our wedding at Sandos Caracol in April 2024. Everything turned out better than we ever imagined, from the locations to the decor. The planning process was easy and stress free, Armando was so helpful and pleasant and made sure everything went exactly how we wanted. We highly recommend Sandos Caracol for your destination wedding. We had our ceremony at the beach gazebo and reception on the Mapache deck. We also used the resort photographer Romanza and they did an amazing job. Rest assured the wedding coordinator has it all handled. Thank you Armando for making our dream wedding a reality.
