Almost perfect. we need more amenities for teens

The whole experience was great for my kids and me. The only downside is that there were too few ping pong tables for the large number of people there, and the pool tables (only 2) were not in good condition. The rest of the hotel and food are great.

Really liked all the trails to walk. The select pools for adults only were nice and the waitress/waiter gave good service. Teppanyaki a la carte was delicious and amazing. Loved the wildlife on resort especially the monkeys. I didn't find concierge very friendly or helpful. Most of the time they weren't at the desk and when they were there they never seemed happy. I would visit there again.

It was a very happy, festive, family oriented place. Staff were helpful and friendly. I would go back with my family, young and old. Lounging by the ocean or the pool provided opportunities to relax or have fun. The food was outstanding. It was paradise! Guests can be prepared to be patient and flexible because many of the staff don’t speak english so you might get something different than what you asked for 😉

I would highly recommend Sandos Caracol. I went for a destination wedding and fell in love with this resort. It had so many options for different activities to do. My favorite thing about was that it was a great place for families traveling with young children. My children absolutely loved the aqua park and all the animals that they got to see around the premises. As an adult who loves nature I also really loved all the animals and the landscape of the resort. I will definitely be back!!!

we paid much less and had much better experience other places. rooms are wrecking. food and restaurants are average towards low. and if you lose a towel card they ripp you off for 50$usd. like their towel are made of finest . beach is not what you can rnjpy. rocky and not sandy. to be honest if you come here, you come to enjoy slides and some animals around. other than that this resort doesn’t worth it at all. we will never go back

We loved staying at the Sandos Caracol Eco Resort. We brought our 3year old and 8month old and had a fantastic time. The resort was gorgeous with plants and trees everywhere throughout the resort. We saw wild life everyday. It was lovely to walk around and explore this big resort. Many restaurant options and the food was good. The workers worked hard and were so friendly and happy! The pools were great. The only down fall of this place was the beach was not perfect (some big rocks within the sand). The fire show was also scary for kids. That being said I would still recommend this Eco friendly resort!!

This is our 4 th visit to the property. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the value is incredible. We stayed in the adult only section and it is amazing. The staff was on top of things and we were served efficiently. The buffets were good offering lots of options. We do totally wish the ala cart restaurant reservation option was different. They reset at midnight and if you don’t select then you are out of luck! We tried every morning and once at 3:30 a.m but no luck. This resort is beautiful and we saw so many animals. We would highly recommend to others
