We loved the wildlife roaming around the property! Resort was clean - there is always somebody leaf blowing/removing beaches and water. Housekeeping came every day and rooms were cleaned wonderfully. Mini bar stocked every second day. Pools were clean and fun ! Will stay here again :)

I would go somewhere else!
Sandos eco resort looked great online. We upgraded to the penthouse suite with the hot tub on the balcony. When arriving we didn't get a good overview of the resort. Then getting to the room it was nice. But we ended up having engineering there 4 separate times to fix separate things. Then management didnt seem to care or want to move us. The water for the tub / shower were cold. Along with all of the pools and jacuzzi. They keep the water temps starting at 70 deg F. Which after getting a massage we would have liked to sit in a HOT tub to relax. The jetted tub the jets didn't work and took 30min to fill. So save your money and don't upgrade! We pick this place for tge adults only area. But there were kids everywhere. Which you cannot have any beverage by the pool or jacuzzi. The alcohol was the bottom shelf liquor. No name brands except for at the beach bar. Which then there was only one I recognized. The restaurants, most food was goid. But the buffets close to change over and there are tines you cannot get anything to eat. Also the popular restaurants you have yo make reservations for. But the only open up the reservations at 12am for the day. If you are not on right then to get reservations, you will not get reservations at the restaurants. The buffets and taco bar are walk in. The beach is really rocky! Bring water shoes to wear on the beach or go into the water. Goid points: the spa was great. Also seeing all the animals and cenote.

This property was a great experience for our family. The kids loved the wildlife roaming free and the aquapark (even though the big slides weren't working) along with the variety of shows offered. Would recommend to those with children, but not as an adults only trip.

Everything about the hotel was ok, staff were kind, food was OK, rooms were clean, good place for families to have a good time. One thing that was very annoying was the aqua park. Reason number one why we booked was because of aqua park, we showed up and half of it was closed, it was not mentioned anywhere in website, no one told us, they were happy to advertise the water park being open, take our money and when we got there it was no one's fault, that was very disappointing.

The main reason I booked this hotel was for the large water slides for my older kids and without notice they were closed our entire visit. For this reason alone I would not have booked this resort. We were also told by many employees that it has been shut down for over a month. Also the food throughout the property was not very good. Additionally we were not given any instructions about this hotel upon checkin like there is an app to reserve meals so we missed out on all but one restaurant and had a very difficult time navigating the property. Very limited shuttle service and if you want your hotel cards you must listen to their pushy speech about buying into their members club. Lastly we had very limited water/hot water, many things broken throughout the room my husband luckily had a pocket screwdriver in his luggage to fix some things. Oh and we had a half drank soda in our fridge upon checkin. The rooms were nice but lacking hot water. The property is like a giant maze, food 1 maybe 2 stars not good, and if the main waterslides are closed without notice huge disappointment. Beach hear is extremely rocky many kids including mine got hurt warning!

Overall this is a really cool resort for families with kids which is unique being an eco resort. You feel like you are in the rainforest and have monkey, coatee, raccoons and agati visitors and lush greenery. The staff do a wonderful job of maintaining the rainforest and property and were so friendly. We thought the food was good at the buffet and one of the restaurants. The big issue was we didn't have hot water in our room and all I wanted at the end of the day was a hot shower. It also made showering the kids very difficult. The other thing is you can only send your kids to kids club for 2hrs/day. Not that we would send them every day but it wasn't long enough to do anything by the time you walked there and back. We would consider going back with our kids but likely not, however we are glad we did go. I don't think we would have enjoyed it as much if we didn't have kids.

The grounds were fantastic nestled into the jungle with lots of tree coverage so you're not being baked on the sun. They had excellent live entertainment and shows every night. The food at La Laguna was as what you would expect from an average buffet but was still very tasty and the staff was allergy mindful of my youngest son who has a severe Tree nut allergy. Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed the restaurants on site, as well as the onsite entertainment and everything that the resort put forward to make our stay as best as possible. We really enjoyed the restaurants that were on site. Booking through Expedia gave us extra privileges to have concierge book our restaurants for us, so we did not have to wait up till midnight to put them ourselves online.

The resort is falling apart. We had heavy rain and the roof was leaking everywhere. Including the main buffet AND our room. Had to walk through puddles on the bathroom floors. There was mold in a lot of the communal areas especially the main buffet and bathrooms. 5 out of 8 people in our group were vomiting by the end of our stay. I think it was the buffet food. The a la carte restaurants were all great food but had very limited reservations. The employees were all working so hard but just couldn't keep up with all the issues, no fault of their own. If the resort invested in some major repairs and maintenance it could be really amazing. The large waterslides were also closed for maintenance the whole week but we only ever saw 1 person doing some painting. Highlights were all the wildlife including monkeys, turtles and iguanas. The shows every night were very good.
