10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place for families !!!"

La Hacienda Hotel, at Xcaret

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed 2 times will be back again !"

Sandos Playacar All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Hotel is clean and well maintained. The shows they provied for entertainment is one of the best ive seen. Their is plenty of food options( I recomend mexican night). The stage they have and entertainment they provide is wonderful. The staff is friendly, anyone who passes you greets you. If you get a room at the far right entrance you have to wait for the trans to take you, but be mindful that they say the trans starts service at 7 and they dont. Just in case you have to rush for a tour in the morning. I think they did not expect to have alot of tourist and they were under staffed. The waiters at the restaurants took along time to attend to us and never came back for more drinks. Overall its a good experiance ,"

Stone House with Pool and large Garden, ideal for families

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a must for couples with kids and close to all the attractions. Carlos, the owner is a great host and rolls out the carpet for you. The pictures don’t do justice for this property, you have to experience it in person to enjoy its unique look and feel. The pool is great and the downstairs master bedroom was spectacular. All rooms in this house are decorated with Mexican flare. We will come back and stay in the future, for sure. Thank you Carlos for sharing your home!"
