This was a very well maintained property. Like different all-inclusive they had few restaurants onsite. They served good while some food and a great spread too. The specialty restaurants were okay. They pools were cleaned regularly and water tested. The sands was the highlights … clean white and very well maintained. The slope was shallow and allowed kids to play in water. The drinks were good. I would strongly recommend. And also no forcing on time share presentations

Check in was horrible. First off, this was our second time at the Sands, our 7th time to Cancun. Now back to our story. Our flight got cancelled and rescheduled twice before our trip due to weather issues. In the end we were going to arrive early to our hotel. Our four kids got up at 3 am to make our flight, it was brutal. I called ahead to the hotel and told them our situation and asked if we were able to at least get our wrist bands and eat while our room became ready since our kids were going to be so tired and we had paid for 10 days, in a 2 room all-inclusive suite. I was assured that they would take care of us. When we got there, my youngest daughter felt sick. She was not feeling well at all. The check in lady said we could not get our wrist bands since we were 40 mins early from their normal check in time and that we would have to pay for lunch. I told her that I had called ahead and was assured they would take care of us. She could not care even a little. I told her my daughter wasn’t feeling well. Again, she could care less. We told her we paid $10k for 10 days and asked if she was being serious? She could care less. It was beyond frustrating. And honestly, I will never go back for the simple reason that you do not treat your customers like they are asking for a hand out when you should be overwhelming them with great customer service. She literally made us wait 40 mins to get our wrist bands. It was horrible. We will never be back.

The rooms are great 👍 spacious suites, we stayed in a villa with two bedrooms. Great for families ! Quite and enjoyable not too busy. This property is a time share so it's not like other resorts. Food options are limited, there isn't nightly entertainment like other places in Cancun, not much for organize kids activities unless u leave them in the kids zone. Resort is kind of dead after dinner. There was a little market in the hotel where you can get groceries and supplies if you needd, overpriced of course....the food was mediocre. There is a luxury shopping mall next door with a supermarket as well. Overall we would go back just because of the room sizes you can get, we have small children so it worked out well for us.
