Let's start a new Sandos Caracol Thread

Deekny · 03-23-2006

OK - leaving in 3 days....

I hear the Sandos is improving each day. On trip advisor - all you read about is the sewage running throughout the buildings etc.-but not one photo is posted to varify this. There are also complaints about no hot water. I've been to 5 star resorts that had an issue with hot water-after a full day in the sun-then everyone is getting ready for dinner-I can see why hot water may be a problem.
Toilets backing up-On my recent Royal Carribean cruise we had a problem with the toilet-what should I have done-jumped ship?

If there is anyone out there that would like to share your positive experience for those who traveled recently-please share in this thread. Thank you!

And we are leaving in 9 days...From now on just good news...

We don't want to hear anymore sewage, a/c, water problems...That was the past...Now is sun, tan, tours, and relaxing...

mackem_lass · 03-23-2006

Shock news just in!

According to TA, the shower in the bathrooms at Sandos Caracol does not have a shower curtain

That is my holiday completely ruined now

momdoitall · 03-23-2006

Forget TA and think about the sun, tan and fun...

I'm going into Newcastle next week to look for bikinis and shorts

We leave 1 week from today. We will be there March 31- April 5 I too have been addicted to these forums and have gone from distraught to relief and back again. Some of these post will make you crazy! :-) Anyway, we are looking forward to a fun and relaxing vacation in the sun. As long as the sewage issues are taken care of it should be a fun vacation. I am traveling with my husband, son (17) and daughter (12). Who are you all traveling with and will anyone be there the same time as we are?

Travelling on the 2nd, there till the 16th. Going with my husband, son (12) and daughter (10, going on 16!)
It's all good news from here on in. Off in to Oxford in a minute to get the last few bits for the holiday, lets hope the good weather continues out there as I have no intentions of taking any jumpers with me!

We are arriving the 1st April. As my nickname says it's me who packs for everybody, just because I want them (father and son) to have enought clothes for the holidays and my daughter not to take the entire room..lol.. From the underwear to the shoes, I have to start thinking for everyone...
And also for the dog...he goes to a hotel - swimming pool, heated flor, ambiance music and playgroung...sometimes I wonder who gets the "life's dog"..

Guess what everyone,
Synestere used to live in the Uk less than 7 miles away from me and now lives in Playa del Carmen, talk about a small world!

Synestere, tell us all some good places to visit while we are in Mexico. I have booked Xcaret but what else is good?

If you don't hear from us within the first few days it's because we are too busy having a good time

Yo neighbour ...use the search facility

Mcdonalds , burger king , Carlos n Charlies

Any and or all of the Playa info tours ...you know it makes sense !

Tulum is a must for the beaches .

I like Muyil for the ride in the boat across two lagunas and then a long float down a canal ..... so peacefull .www.muyil.com.

A beer in the Aluxes bar in the ejido area of Playa...like cave diving without the water plus you have a cold beer in your hand ...a must for a first timer imho.
Gallery Rafael in plaza Playacar for a painting by a nearly famous local artist ( her indoors )

Maybe Puerto Morelos on a sunday morning with a hangover ...

momdoitall · 03-26-2006

Hi everyone,

Booking Chichen-itza on the 5th with info.playa and Coba (Mayan Encounter) on the 9th with Alltournative. Anyone interested?
On the 7th will go to Xcaret and do the "reef snuba". It sound great: it's like snorkeling but 5 meters deep, as they have an oxigen tank on a boat over us...
I'm starting to pack.. for 4 ....
