Thanks. Glad you found it helpful

Have a great vacation

The family area is furthest from the beach. The trains are fairly frequent. When our grandchildren left we moved to adults only as it was such a long walk to the beach

They are both great. The hard part is deciding which one to go to

From the family suites it is a bit of a hike. There is a golf cart train that regularly will give you a lift down there. The pools down by the beach are worth the work. Have a great vacation

Download the app before you get to the resort. It is easiest to get into the steak house and the Brazilian so if you can get a reservation for one of the other restaurants early in your vacation go for it. We also did just show up at some restuarants when we couldn’t get a reservation and just ask if someone hadn’t shown up. This worked about half the time we tried it. We were there with our adult kids so if we really wanted a particular restaurant one day several of us would try booking throughout the day until one of us got a reservation for enough of us. This worked once or twice as well.

We really liked the French and the Italian. The Asian was pretty good. The Brazilian and Steakhouse-- service was great but overall underwhelming. The buffet was actually quite good -there seemed to be some pleasant surprises every meal. Usually the specialties are the best -but at this resort the buffet was a positive surprise.

At this time (a few months ago) they were required when you were entering a restuarant or when you went up to get your food at the buffet but now-where else -within the last month we were at resorts in PV and there was not requirement to wear masks at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of Mexico is like this now

From the adults only rooms the beach is really close. The newer family suites are quite a ways the resort is a pretty good size

There was a lot of seaweed and it was blazing hot so we didn’t spend a lot of time on the beach. Usually we spend the most time on the beach so I think it was such a change by the time we left I realized I hadn’t taken a lot of footage of the beach

Some days there was quite a bit. When we walked up the beach a bit some resorts were hit more or less than others depending on the day

Yes there was quite a bit of seaweed. The staff were really good at removing it everyday but we were there during seaweed season

The waterparks both have bars right on sight as well as restuarants and bars adjacent

You can go to one everynight. If you do the Sunscape club there is one a La carte open for breakfast and one for lunch as well

Thank you!

The resort is right on the beach. However the resort is huge. The adult only rooms a a quick walk to the beach. The family rooms are the other side of the resort so with small children it would take us 15 minutes to walk thru the resort to the beach. They did however have a golf cart train that takes you all over the resort

The caracol?

I’d love to hear your thoughts comparing the two, we are going to one of them with kids 11, 15, 17, 19. Love the adventure idea of Caracol but worry about the food and beach there

Swimming in the Cenote at the Caracol was amazing. The wildlife there was great as well. The beach and the food were infinitely better at the Playacar. No comparison. The pools at the Playacar were better as well. Being able to walk to playa del Carmen at the Playacar was really nice as well. I would go back to Playacar before Caracol

The entertainment area is a nice open air venue. Our son and law took the older kids to the show one night and he said it was great. The kids got photos with the performers
