Beautiful beach, food is ok, Mexican restaurant is excellent. Big resort so be prepared to walk but lots of room by the pools so don’t have to fight for chairs. Beds are really hard.

Food is limited buffets and getting a reservation for a group bigger that 2-3 for the restaurants is ridiculous. Be aware that unless you only care to eat buffet, thus is not your regular all inclusive. I’ve been to many with only having 1-2 of the restaurants needing reservations. Every one of them require it and you can only book it through there app. Only resort to that we have been to with “all inclusive” which is limited to buffets and cupcakes bar, taco bar. Calling for room service was a joke. Took over 30-40 mins for them to answer. Again room service is limited to 5 items only to order.

The resort was nice enough, the food was good. Some areas are older and could renovating but overall pretty well kept. Even with the shuttle, if you stay in the family section its lots of walking. Its in a safe gated community which is nice because you can leave the resort and explor the local area. The beach is a 10/10! Id give it a 4/5 stars for sure.

The resort was very nice overall. Rooms were well taken care of. Lots of wildlife. The property is very large and not easily walkable, about 10-15 minutes to each destination ie. main buffet, beach, spa etc. (we stayed in the family section) there is a shuttle but it’s inconvenient to wait for and then goes in a loop so even if you just want to go to the beach you have to wait until it’s gone through all the stops to get there as it is the last stop. It is well equipped for children and elderly other than this.

This property was amazing for kids. They seemed to have great areas for adults too, but I was traveling with kids. It’s expansive and there was plenty to do. Playacar seems to be a safe gated community with several resorts and homes. Food was great! I would go back!
