The hotel itself had a lot of greeneries, which was nice, but the main issue was the management, it is pretty poor. The room had a lot of broken little stuff, the air conditioning was leaking water, on top of the TV and outlets... we had to change room as we did not had 2 beds (like we booked) and they lost all our luggage in the transfer, they sent everything to the wrong room ... we had to go through the management to finally get everything back after several hours. And the food is horrible, it is an all inclusive, was not expecting 5 stars food, but it was really bad. Anyway, will never go back to a Sandos chain hotel.

Breakfast ran out of coffee and basically gave me a cup of milk. AC on the ceiling randomly started gushing out water/liquid? Bathrooms were flooded and all seemed to need major repairs. Not enough entertainment. Kid area cannot be used for kids under 4 so there isn’t anything to do other than 10am-11am. Also times on the app and website do not match up. Kid area and certain restaurants would be closed sooner than the app showed. Kid pool area ran out of stuff constantly and gave me a hot dog and a beef patty without any buns. Kid pool also had shards of broken plastic cups. Workers are none existent, everything just seems like a huge safety hazard. Very disappointed with my stay. Not enough activities or entertainment.

My recent stay at the Sandos Caracol Eco Resort was far from the eco-friendly paradise I had envisioned. While the resort offered a beautiful natural setting and a water park, the overall experience was marred by significant drawbacks. The stunning turquoise ocean and white sand was without a doubt, the highlight of my trip. The food on the other hand was a major disappointment. The food was not only poor quality but also excessively greasy. It was clear that the kitchen staff prioritized quantity over quality, leaving s heavy, unpleasant feeling after each dining experience. But the worst part of the whole trip was the staff. The interactions were frequently unpleasant. Rudeness seemed to be the normal, with the employees, which made me and my partner feel uncomfortable the whole stay. The beautiful ocean couldn't compensate for the food and rude staff. would not recommend visiting.

The property it’s beautiful set in tropical jungle like grounds with lots of wildlife. The rooms are comfortable, the patio felt like fish bowl so a little cramped If you don’t have children under 6 I would advise against it as the majority of guests all had children. The dining is limited with large lines waiting for food and rude guests. The drinks are ok although do feel watered down. AVOID AT ALL COSTS the beach massages, there are not resort affiliated so no fault of the resort but I had a horrible experience with inappropriate touching and language. Overall the staff are lovely, the type of guest we were surrounded by was the main issue

The resort is gorgeous with animals all over the resort. Nice little water falls and plenty of paths to walk around on. The water slides have restrictions for heights so be aware I believe most of them are 1.2meters. The lineups for food and drinks were always long and wait times were a bit concerning. Getting into the el a cartes was almost impossible only got into one for the week. Other then that it was a good stay
