Pros: LUPITA the wedding coordinator!! great staff, location
Cons: limited reservations to a la carte restaurants
I just got back from my wedding and it was AMAZING!!
Checking in was painless. We did get there very early and had a few hours until our rooms were ready. They put the wristbands on us, told us to leave our bags in lobby, get a drink and start enjoying our vacation.....which we gladly did!! We just grabbed a swimsuit out and hit the beach. Check in time is 3pm and we got there at about noon.
The resort is great and the staff are friendly and willing to help with anything you need. T

We were just married at Sandos PlayaCar on 9.29.2012. Exactly 3 years to the day we met. It was GREAT! I want to share as much detail as I can because this forum helped me decide on this resort and I want to help others as well. We had enough people booked to receive the basic package at no cost. We had 55 people aging from ages 22 months to 85 years old. This resort had it ALL. Kids playground and activities, adult only section on the beach, adult only pool - it is a large resort but so

Cons: Heat in restaurants, location of our room
Hello! I wanted to post my review of Sandos! I was married on June 30, 2012. Overall, we had A GREAT time!!
We ultimately picked Sandos because the price was right. Last year we stayed at Barcelo for a few days. I know that's quite a popular wedding resort. We actually liked Sandos BETTER!
We booked with Apple Vacations, which was nice because all of the transportation was included in our trip. We ended up skipping the looooong check-in line because an Apple representative c

I don't usually write on forums but I wanted to make sure that I posted a review for any future brides. I'm usually a pretty relaxed person, but I found that picking a resort for the wedding was fairly stressful. I used this site and many of the comments to help me make some of my choices. I literally spent HOURS reading them before we made our choice!
First of all - Lupita (wedding coordinator) was EXCELLENT. My travel agent (I used destinationweddings.com which wa

We were a group of 21 adults a child and a baby who went to Sandos Playacar from March 1st, 2012 to March 9th from several cities in Canada. My husband and I were married at the hotel on Monday March 5th.
Check in
We arrived just after midnight so there was no waiting. We had our room key and the luggage loaded onto a golf cart in about 15minutes. We took a thrill ride from the lobby down to the beach rooms were most people in our party were staying.

Pros: MARIA, Rooms, Service, friendly, clean, great food
Cons: walk, hair salon
Okay, here we go. I got married on April 9, 2011 at the Sandos Playacar, and in hindsight, I WISH I wasn't stressed the whole 2 days before the wedding b/c it was PERFECT. I'm going to keep this short as I can.
Maria is awesome. leave everything to her and she will take care of it, so do not stress.
Hair Salon- The did a great job on the hair, but spoke zero English and were very rude. We asked if we could have alcohol in the room while getting our hair done and they laughed

General Hotel Experience: We went to Sandos Playacar for week in May 2010 for the wedding of some friends of ours. After a long day of travel and the ride from the Cancun airport, we were excited to reach the hotel. There was no one there to really greet us - the exit from the van with our luggage and where to go and what to do with our luggage was very confusing. After a while someone assisted us and gave us our luggage tags so we could check in. We waited in long for a very long time, dri

Pros: Great service, gorgeous resort, fabulous wedding coordinator
Cons: We didn't stay long enough...
We were married at the Sandos on February 25th, 2011 at 4:00 pm.
RESORT: The resort was the best choice for our group. It was large but had enough meeting spots that we ran into our guests throughout the week without any problem. My parents stayed at the beach (RM#1110), which was such an amazing location. Considering we have small children, it was nice to have a close place to run to when we needed things. My husband’s brother also stayed at the beach which was a great location for the gu

Pros: Location, best stretch of beach in Playa del Carmen, the food, the service, the staff, the entertainment, the wedding packages, the wedding planner!!!
We got married at Sandos Playacar on July 23rd, 2010 and if I had to do it all over again, I'd choose Sandos over and over! It was everything we dreamed!
Resort
Overall
We had 28 total in our party, ranging in age from 2 to 82 and everyone had a wonderful time! The resort is located just a few minutes from downtown Playa del Carmen. It's close enough to enjoy town anytime you want and far enough away to have the most beautiful beachfront in all of Playa del Carmen. Sandos is located
