We upgraded to get another restaurant included by the pool (St Troph) which we were glad we did. Open air, great view and excellent food. Our upgrade included a room with a water view and it overlooked the pool, large with a sofa, king bed and drawers for my clothes, husband used the closet. Overlooking the pool though can be loud at times so keep that in mind. The a la carte restaurants are very good, tepankayi, Italian and the masquerade dinner especially was excellent. If you want a chais lounge or cabanas you have to get out way early as they get claimed by others quickly by placing the blue beach towels on there. We lost one cabana one day because someone just took it themselves. Bring a book you don’t care about to place with your towel would help. Entertainment was good inside and by the pools, but very loud. We found ourselves down by the beach because it was quieter. Yoga on the beach each morning was nice too. Thanks to all the great staff at Sandos! Itzel, Danna, Abraham, Carlos, Dani, Inka and Ivan just to name a few!
