Sandos Cancun All Inclusive has all the elements of a happy and hassle-free Caribbean getaway. White sand beach, emerald waves, music, massages, cocktails and cuisine — all just 20 minutes from the airport.
Conveniently located in the Cancun Hotel Zone, Sandos Cancun sits between the Caribbean Sea and Nichupté Lagoon, with sweeping views of both. You can walk to nearby nightlife and shopping, but with all-inclusive bars and restaurants at the resort, you may not want to.
Sandos Cancun Highlights
Sandos Cancun All Inclusive welcomes guests to the Riviera Maya coastline with infinity pools and stunning ocean views. Enjoy yoga by the pool, head to the spa for a body treatment or eat made-to-order brick oven pizza by the sea.

- 213 ocean view and lagoon view rooms and suites.
- A welcome bottle of wine and fruit plate in your room.
- Unlimited food and drinks from five restaurants, four bars and 24-hour room service.

- Daily poolside music, like a live violinist and DJ jam.
- Activities such as Zumba and water volleyball by day, and themed events by night.
- White sand beach is steps away from three infinity pools.
- Spa services are extra, but it’s worth it to book a massage at Spa del Mar.
Dining at Sandos Cancun
Dining is easy and delightful at Sandos Cancun. There are five restaurants to choose from and only one requires reservations. Each restaurant has a vegan menu and healthy options.
- St. Trop. Start your day here with a beachfront omelet and green juice or smoothie, if you’re a member of the Royal Elite Vacation Club. Otherwise, make sure to stop at St. Trop for a brick oven pizza lunch and French entrées like chicken cordon bleu for dinner. Chef Gonzalo and his team will knock your socks off with their culinary creations and the ocean view can’t be beat.
- Zango. This is the other breakfast destination, with a daily buffet. For lunch, there’s a buffet and à la carte food options. Return at night for international cuisine theme nights.
- Seasons. Enjoy a steakhouse with empanadas followed by fish, steak, chicken or ribs from the grill. Top it off with a chocolate volcano and vanilla ice cream.
- Gaijin. Make reservations to enjoy a Teppanyaki dinner. You don’t want to miss this interactive Japanese cuisine experience.
- Frattinis. You can’t go wrong with Italian fine dining by the sea. With soup, salad and pasta choices, make sure you save room for dessert.
