Sandos Caracol Beach Resort And Spa

An introduction to Sandos Caracol Beach Resort And Spa

You've got the latest bestseller in one hand. A fruity cocktail in the other. And then there's you, stretched out on a sunbed, bathed in hot, hot sunshine? If this sounds like your idea of holiday paradise, you'll love it at the Sandos Caracol. Everything here is geared to taking it easy. And the exotic setting certainly helps. Surrounded by mangroves and lagoons, the hotel's nestled at the edge of a lush tropical jungle. We're talking real Garden of Eden stuff. And as if that wasn't enough, you're right by the beach, too. Think turquoise seas, flour-white sands, swaying palms – the works. Wade out through the clear blue water to the manmade reef. Snorkelling equipment is free here, so strap on some fins and get up close and personal with the shimmering shoals of tropical fish. Or you could give windsurfing or kayaking a go. Away from the water, there's a massage tent set up on the beach. If that sounds like your cup of tea, make a beeline for the spa. Here, all the facilities are free – steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool, the lot. As to the complex itself, it's set up like a small village. Pathways weave around coconut thatched blocks and there are three pools to choose from – so you won't find yourself fighting for a sunbed. What's more, there's even a couple of swim-up bars where you can order a drink without having to get out of the water. Sometimes doing nothing can be hungry work. At any hour of the day, you can always pick up something tasty at one of the All Inclusive buffets or snack bars. You can even reserve a table at one of the a la carte restaurants if you fancy. This is most definitely the life.
