Welcome to Sandos Caracol Eco Resort, an eco-friendly, family-friendly and unique all-inclusive resort. Located on a magnificent white sandy beach with a reef overlooking the island of Cozumel in Playa del Carmen, this 4-star resort is a nature lover’s paradise. With its lush jungle, cenotes, mangroves and natural lagoons, the property is home to many animals that have made it their refuge, including coatis, monkeys and tropical birds.
Forget the routine. Here you can reconnect with what’s most important: the beauty of nature. And make the most of it!
Experience nature without leaving the comfort of an all-inclusive resort
At Sandos Caracol Eco Resort, the adventure begins in your room. There’s no need to plan or travel: nature surrounds you and invites you to stay. Less logistics, more fun—this is the promise of an eco-responsible all-inclusive resort that connects you to the essence of the Riviera Maya.
With more than 30 protected species, Sandos Caracol Eco Resort is much more than an eco-friendly all-inclusive: it’s a sanctuary. Here, certain areas have been specially designed to provide a living space for animals in need. Stroll through the butterfly pavilion, watch the deer in their sanctuary and marvel at the majesty of the macaws in the aviary.
Snorkel in the clear waters of a natural cenote, swim in a mangrove forest …. the choice is yours.

Hiking, cenotes, mangroves, and lagoons
Imagine walking under a lush canopy, surrounded by the songs of tropical birds, before plunging into a grotto of crystal clear water. A suspended moment, out of time. Cenotes, true underground jewels, are at the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula’s identity.
There are five in the hotel grounds, each offering a unique and refreshing experience.
And that’s not all! The hotel’s mangroves and natural lagoons are ecosystems that are home to fascinating biodiversity, from colourful fish to playful coati and majestic herons. An ideal setting for nature lovers in search of escape and unique moments of connection.
A water park in the heart of the jungle
At Sandos Caracol Eco Resort, water fun is not limited to cenotes and natural lagoons. With its huge water park, one of the best in the Caribbean, the hotel promises hours of fun for the whole family under the Riviera Maya sun.
Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or prefer a gentle splash, the family water park has something for everyone. There are several slides for children, teenagers and adults looking for a thrill, as well as play areas with fountains and water jets for the little ones.
And there’s no need to pay extra: access to the water park is included in your package. All you have to do is put on your swimsuit… and don’t be afraid to get wet!
Dive into Mayan culture
Sandos Caracol Eco Resort not only offers an exceptional natural setting, but also celebrates the fascinating heritage of the Mayan civilisation. True to its commitment to preserving local heritage, the resort offers immersive cultural experiences that transport visitors back in time.
Experience the tradition of authentic Mayan ceremonies, attend magnificent night shows, try temazcal (a purification ritual in a sacred steam bath led by a shaman) and visit authentic Mayan remains. A unique cultural experience!
