We really liked Sandos Caracol. I recommend figuring out and trying to get dinner reservations your first day for the other restaurants. We were there 7 days and only managed to squeeze into the Italian place. The buffet is like combat eating so prepare yourself. The staff is phenomenal. All the activities to do are so much fun for everyone. I booked a massage at the spa and Genny was the best! My whole family loved it! Thank you Sandos.

Reservation for restaurants is terrible. We have to stay awake at midnight to book the restaurants, but they are fully booking in 5 mins. Specifically Brazilian and Japanese restaurants, it already full book before we arrived because they let people booking in advance. That is not right for people coming after. We have to eat the same food and same restaurant for 5 days. It is ridiculous. I talked to the manager, but the manager can’t solve the problem. It’s not worthy for us to pay money to stay here. A lots of people are frustrated when they get in the resort.

We did not get the individual check in that was to be with our upgrade. The safe did not work, had to ask for items that were supposed to be included. Small room. Location of room to the adults only was at other corner of each other. Pool closest to our room was either the biggest general population or members only and your not allowed to use.

Check in took a long time. Two of the restaurants had to be booked at a separate location and even when getting in line before open took 2 hours to get through. The other restaurants required waking up at 12am to book (I am not exaggerating; you had to book same day and everything was booked by 1am regularly.) Other activities required waiting in another line. Main area of aqua park was closed for a day and a half and the only other pool area for a 2yo to play in was rammed. We tried the beach, but it is super small/rocky. The front desk could not or would not provide smaller bills for USD any day of the week. There was no information provided regarding included activities, ie. Romantic Jade River Tour. Mini fridge had limited selection (beer/pop) unless additional tips provided. There was no food available at all during certain times of the afternoon. Most of the staff was very friendly. Most of the resort was clean. The animals and natural surroundings were stunning. The waterslides were fun. There was a lot to do for older kids if someone could stand in line to sign up for them. We appreciated the eco conscience effort.
