Everything was excellent, good price for good apartment, very comfortable and silent, near to main streets and activities, if you go to Xcaret this is a hotel to stay, the speed internet could be better.
Also and very important, the google address is wrong, the hotel is 2 blocks away
It was a very nice place to stay and enjoy the quieter side of Playa. The rooftop was great. The kitchen had plenty utensils, which we appreciated very much. It was also on a good location.
The rooftop area was nice and very relaxing. One of my favorite condos in Playa. Not a bunch of rules and they never bug you so you can just relax and enjoy your stay. Staff was very pleasant to us.
Enjoyable terrace and pool!...
Confortable accomodation and very good location...
I was on the first floor but I think a higher floor flat would be perfect.
There was a beautiful view from the rooftop and the 2 pools were fantastic, they were available 24 hours, we spent the time there after getting back from the beach, just laying on the sun loungers. We will come back!

Beautiful stay at Sands. We enjoyed the location walkable to PDC beach and 5th avenue but far away enough for me. Lots of local fruterias and shops nearby. Very nice view from the rooftop pool.
This place was absolutely fantastic. The location couldn’t have been better — close to everything but still very quiet and peaceful, which made it easy to relax after a long day out. The views were incredible and the extra privacy made it feel even more special. The air conditioning worked perfectly. Everything functioned exactly as it should. The host was quick to respond and extremely helpful throughout the stay.

This is by far one of the best condos we have stayed at. Interior design is crazy, very nice decoration and layout. Great location with parking available in front of the condo. AC, hot water and WiFi all worked great. We stayed until midnight chilling by the pool, they have the rooftop open 24 hours!

I didn't know this property automatically charges my card the day of so my bank saw it as a fraud alert and I also didn't recognize it as a expedia purchase because is appeared as sands boutique and not expedia. I cancled my card for no reason.
One of the two pools were closed the entire.

The location was perfect, we were surprised at how close it is to everything you would need. Very walkable to the grocery store, restaurants, beaches and 5th Avenue. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this accommodation to anyone.The studio was spotless, WiFi was great, hot water and great water pressure. Rooftop area was nice and very relaxing. One of my favorite condos in Playa. Not a bunch of rules and they never bug you so you can just relax and enjoy your stay. Staff was very pleasant for us.
