Playa del Carmen all-inclusive resort unveils additional nature and family-focused accommodations as part of an ongoing $20 Million Renovation Project.
PLAYA DEL CARMEN – Sandos Hotels & Resorts announce the completion of 336 nature-inspired and family-focused rooms at its Sandos Caracol Eco Resort. The renovated rooms and suites have been integrated into the property’s signature Eco Collection, which offers three categories of jungle-inspired accommodation options. Nestled amidst the Riviera Maya’s lush coastal landscape, the innovative 941-key property invites guests to explore the region’s mesmerizing flora and fauna from the comfort of its latest ecology-conscious suites, specifically designed with families and the environment in mind. Additionally, as part of this phase of the renovation, two reimagined culinary concepts have been introduced at the Playa del Carmen all-inclusive.
“We have always taken great pride in providing travelers with unique opportunities to experience our region’s rich culture and history while keeping our local ecosystems at the forefront to try our best to preserve the destination for future generations,” said Miguel Angel Guardado, General Manager of Sandos Caracol Eco Resort. “The new Eco Suites are truly the culmination of this mission – perfectly positioned alongside our onsite cenotes and mangrove river, created to comfortably accommodate families and groups of all shapes and sizes in rooms that harness a bit of the Mayan junglas’ wild beauty.”
One of a select number of eco-tourism all-inclusive hotels in Mexico, this is the latest accomplishment in a $20 million phased renovation and expansion project at Sandos Caracol. The Eco Suites were developed by Sandos’ architectural team, inspired by the vibrant estate on which the resort is set. Strategically located near Caracol’s ancient freshwater sinkhole and natural waterways, the suites allow travelers to become neighbors to the resort’s colony of friendly spider monkeys, wild coatis, curious raccoons and exotic resident birds. Furthermore, the Eco Collection was built specifically in the family-focused section of the resort, providing guests with maximum access to the property’s natural amenities and maintaining close proximity to its kid-centric pools and 29-slide water park.

Seamlessly blending their outdoor surroundings into their interiors, all of the suites have been outfitted with kid-friendly dark wood furnishings and bunk beds, timber accents & decor, and forest-influenced finishes. Varying in sizes and arrangements, the rainforest contemporary collection encompasses three different categories divided into entry-level Eco Family Superior rooms, spacious Eco Family Suites and impressive Eco Family

I recently visited Evermore Orlando Resort, a $1.5 billion luxury spot that officially opened in January.
When I was a kid, I took lots of trips—to the bathroom. I couldn’t put on weight, and everything I ate upset my stomach. In high school, I was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, an incurable irritable bowel disease like ulcerative colitis, which my mother and brother also suffer from. Chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, resulting in diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain, among other symptoms, is debilitating at worst and embarrassing at best. Still, thanks to an amazing gastroenterologist, a major surgery, and a cocktail of prescription medications including Infliximab infusions every eight weeks, I haven’t let it stop me from seeing the world. In fact, in the past 18 months I’ve touched down on all seven continents in my career as a travel writer. The best part: I’m far from the only “Crohnie” out there collecting passport stamps; I’ve even met travelers with stoma bags.
