Fiesta FAM - On Location with Sandos

Cancun is a beloved hotspot for Canadian travellers and travel advisors alike. Canadians naturally flock to the Mayan Riviera for its natural beauty, warm climate, and cultural charm. This picturesque coastal stretch boasts white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, home to numerous all-inclusive resorts, making it a convenient and affordable destination for Canadians.

Before the group's arrival, Karen ventured to the ancient ruins of Tulum, only 40 minutes from Sandos Playacar, to tour the archeological site.

This week, Open Jaw's Karen Dahdah joins Emily Spadafora, Sandos Hotels & Resorts BDM for Western Canada, along with 11 eager Western Canada travel advisors in Cancun for a week-long Sandos FAM.

They are staying, playing, and exploring three Sandos Hotels & Resorts properties, namely: Sandos Playacar, Sandos Caracol, and Sandos Cancun. Each resort has its own unique personality, characterized by friendly staff, diverse dining options, stunning natural settings, and a modest sustainability approach as well as supporting local communities through the Sandos Foundation.

However, it's not all work; several daily activities are planned to immerse the group in Mexican culture, food, natural landscapes, and, of course, tequila tastings.
