by Angela V Our family group of adults enjoyed a stay at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort in Playa del Carmen. The resort’s unique blend of natural beauty and eco-friendly initiatives provided a memorable experience for all of us in our group.
Accommodations
We were delighted with our room, which featured an additional seating area and a hot tub on the balcony. This setup offered a comfortable space to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature.
Natural Surroundings and Wildlife
The resort’s commitment to preserving the natural environment was evident throughout our stay. We encountered a variety of wildlife, including birds, lizards, coatis, and even monkeys, which added a unique charm to our experience. The on-site cenote provided a stunning spot for swimming and snorkelling, allowing us to connect with nature in a meaningful way.
Dining Options
The food selection at the resort was satisfactory. Reservations at à la carte restaurants can be challenging to secure. We noticed the food choices can get a bit repetitive after a week, but everything was clean and fresh.
Beach and Pools
The beach was beautiful, though it’s worth noting that some areas can be rocky, making water shoes advisable for swimming. The resort offers multiple pools, including an adults-only area, providing ample space for relaxation.
Eco-Friendly Initiatives
We appreciated the resort’s eco-conscious efforts, such as providing large water jugs in rooms to reduce plastic waste, discouraging the use of straws, and implementing recycling and composting programs. These initiatives reflect a genuine commitment to sustainability.
Our stay at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort was a memorable experience, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and eco-friendly practices. While there are areas that could benefit from improvement, like slow service during peak times, the resort’s commitment to sustainability and its rich natural surroundings make it a worthwhile destination for those seeking an eco-conscious getaway.
