We stayed at Sandys Villas last January and we loved it, and so did our 5-year old son.
Nice quiet beach - right across the dirt road, 1 or 2 minute walk -, big waves to play in, on calmer days we snorkeled and saw beautiful fish. The water does not get very deep until you have walked into the sea for like 50 mtrs, it was ideal for our son who is not a big swimmer yet.
Also loved the garden and the pool. Our son could play in/round that pool forever.
We stayed in a 2 bdr villa, and it was a very nice house with good working AC and everything else also worked, from blender to shower and everything inbetween.
The place also felt very safe; we never saw people that were not supposed to be there.
And it was so peaceful and quiet, it is the absolute opposite of the crowded tourist areas in Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
It is best to have a car if you stay here, because nothing is at walking distance.
The surroundings are beautiful, mangrove jungle with lots and lots of birds, and we even saw a crocodile in the mangrove at the end of the road. How exciting!
And yes, there are potholes in the road, mosquitos, gecko's (which we do not have at home and therefore even liked them being around; funny little creatures)and when it rains the dirtroad becomes one big pool of mud. It comes with the country, and if you like Mexico you just have to live with these small inconveniences.
I read a lot of negative reviews about this complex and the people who manage it, therefore I write this review, because we really liked it and I do not understand all the negativity about the complex.
I do not know anything about the people everyone is complaining about; we booked the villa with them, but we did not meet them, they live somewhere else.
We only dealt with Carlo, the manager on the spot, and he was being very nice and helpful.
