Select Club at Sandos Caracol All Inclusive - Adults Only Area

We arrived at 8:30 PM and where not told we could not check in at the Adult Only check in as they where closed but we where staying that area. We where in the Adults Only area of the resort, there is no buffet for evening supper forcing you to the regular buffets with all the kids running around. At night you had to go to the regular bars or all the way to the beach for a drink. You can only book A La Cart resturants on the day you want to go forcing you to stay up past midnight and then using there app that most senior's do not now how to use.

Check in took over 3 hours! And it was difficult to make reservations at the restaurants. The property was great but it's huge. We stayed in the adults only section and it was a long walk to meet up with family members with kids.

The resort property was amazing with lots of native wildlife and beautiful plants. Very much enjoyed the adults only sections and the food was good. Only complaint was the difficulty getting reservations, particularly difficult at the fogo de Brazil and teppanyaki restaurant, a separate reservation process and huge lines in the heat. Other reservations cannot be made a head of time and had to get on the app at midnight to find availability. Staff was very friendly and a special shout out to Ignacio at the adults only bar on the beach!

Might want to control wild animal population. Buffet was filled with chaos…rude visitors, rude kids. Would be nice to have another buffet for adult only side. Food was better at the adult pool side but every meal, breakfast and lunch took an hour or more. My wife and I have been to many parts of Mexico and this was the worse resort we have been too. Spend your money elsewhere…

There was no hot water multiple days and the whole resort smells like sewer, the food in buffets is terrible and often not at proper temps and no labels! There is no traditional Mexican food whatsoever. Not even rice and beans. Staff doesn’t speak fluent English. We had a flight cancel and we called they said they would hold the reservation and we showed up they said we got marked as a no show! The cenotes are man made and you must wear a life jacket which are all broken buckles and in poor condition. Flies in food everywhere and the drinks are sugared up. Kids in adult only areas and food was left out all day and horrible! You must stay up till midnight to possibly get a booking in the restraints or wait in long lines to book only two days in advance. We booked a 10 day stay and left after 6 to another hotel. Nothing is as advertised! Do not go here! We have been trying to get a refund for our days we left and we are struggling to even have someone call us! You cannot get room service or anyone on the phone. We tried to get room service and had to call bell boy and then got reprimanded by the food service ppl when they called us and then waited an hour and a half for very very unappetizing food most days there was no bread or coffee and other amenities that should be provided at an all inclusive save your money. Do not stay here.

We had a wonderful time at this property. We went in February. We stayed in the adults only section and I'm glad we did because the other reviews say it stinks near the swampy area and it did, probably from the sulfur of the swamp. The signage needs work as we had no idea what to do, or where to go for dinner. Breakfast and lunch, we ended up going to the Brazil place and we were told that it needed no reservations for dinner, but for dinner, it did. We ate at the Mexican buffet for the most part as the International buffet was not good. Those are the only 2 place you can eat dinner without reservations. The app refused to work for us, so we eventually went to the info place next to the fun center (with the Foosball and ping pong tables), and we did get reservation there for all the days remaining. We ate at the Mediterranean place one night, the Brazil Place the section night and the Teppenyaki (Japanese hibachi) place the next night. All these places severed the most excellent food. We did end up going to Tulum for a half day and it was quite busy but we still had a good time. We did book a bed on the beach for $99 dollars US, but it was unclear where we were to get that, so we ended up in the adults only section until lunch when we asked about that and we were in the wrong place. There are 3 beds in the other section that were reserved, so we ended up moving to that section and we got chicken wings and fries, chocolate covered strawberries, champagne and about 8 beers.

Ok

The resort is beautiful, lots of nature and animals (monkeys, turtles, coatis, iguanas, etc.). Sometimes it felt like I was in a cottage in the middle of the forest. Staff was very nice and helpful. The Los Lírios restaurant is amazing, the others not so much and it’s really hard to book the à la carte restaurants if you are not Royal Elite.

Very scenic. However the place was very smelly. Kids everywhere other than adult pool. Adults only in a very small area. Food was quite bad. Staff was great. Drinks were below average.

I enjoyed the resort. Good food options for celiac. Managers and chefs really took care of that for me. I found the Adults Only areas to be fairly quiet and relaxing which is just what I wanted. Great snack and drink options at Adults Only beach bar. Awesome breakfast and lunch right at the poolside restaurant as well. There were a lot of animals roaming the resort and I really enjoyed that, and pretty much everything else about this place.
