At Sandos Hotels & Resorts, we share your love for animals! During your stay, you’ll have the pleasure of encountering a stunning variety of Mexican animals. Our commitment to animal welfare is reflected in our sustainability policy, which prohibits any form of animal exploitation for profit. Unlike other resorts, you won’t find photographers with animals at Sandos Hotels & Resorts.
Say “No” to Animal Exploitation
Sadly, some vendors on Mexico’s public beaches and 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen offer the opportunity to take photos with exotic Mexican animals. These vendors are not affiliated with Sandos Hotels & Resorts, and their practices often involve the mistreatment of animals. Many of these animals are critically endangered species, listed by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). We encourage our guests not to support this exploitation.
Our Commitment to Wildlife Protection and Rescue
At Sandos Resorts, we cherish the wildlife that surrounds our properties. We take pride in protecting and preserving the diverse animal species found in Mexico. Our Riviera Maya resorts even have special programs dedicated to rescuing and caring for animals. Our donkeys, macaws, and white-tailed deer are all part of these rescue initiatives. It is our belief that animals should only be held in captivity when necessary for the survival of their species.
