Escape to Sandos Playacar, where all you have to worry about is digging your toes into a glorious patch of white sand bathed by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Sound good? Then start melting your troubles away with the all inclusive perks housed in this fun.
Take the fiesta to the Caribbean Sea with the All Playa Experience, featuring a themed beach party every day of the week honoring the world’s top beaches. If you've been looking for a way to make a splash, plunge into one of the resort's swimming pools before diving into a variety of exciting games and crafts, while big kids will love the arcade and video games at the Lite Teen Club.
For a fun-filled grownup getaway, book your stay in the Select Club Adults Only section pool, swim-up bar, exclusive breakfast buffet and access to upgraded amenities.
When you feel hunger pangs, you can chow down with the wide variety of restaurants like the Cupcake Café, Chayita Mexican restaurant with made-to-order tacos and burritos, impressive buffets, Mexican cuisine at Gourmex, and so much more.
