This resort would be amazing if I were looking to party. Its a great resort, but it has some serious drawbacks. PROS - 1. The food is AMAZING. It is far and away the best food I've had at an all-inclusive. I can't overstate how good it is. 2. Staff, everyone is extremely nice and not bothered to help. 3. The hotel is very clean. CONS - 1. Noise. The outside is a nonstop party. If you are looking to unwind, you won't find it here. 2. The pool, it is small with limited space and the music by the pool is incredibly loud. Again, you can't relax by the pool. It also gets filthy quickly because of how small it is. 3. The area, its a tourist trap and everyone is trying to sell you something. 4. the time share, we were bothered a few times about their sister hotels and taking advantage of some offer, I never listened to it, but they kept trying to get us. OVERALL - Its a great hotel, the food is incredible, it really is amazing! the place is clean and the staff is great, but you can't relax here. If you are looking to party, you found the right place. If you want to chill, look elsewhere.

For the price point, this place is superb!! It would be difficult to find an all inclusive, two bedroom suite with in room Jacuzzi and access to two sister resorts for this price. Staff is excellent. Food is presented exceptionally, however they clearly use cheap quality products so the taste is not as refined as expected. Definitely pay the 300 MXN for two hours in the spa. It's well worth it.

Not the same as it was a few years ago, the sister resorts were free to access, and now charge a fee to enter. Room was only cleaned once on a 3 night stay, other than that, everything else was good. I'd probably find else where to stay next time.

I reallyyyyy enjoyed the Suite. They upgraded me OMGGGG!!! I was truly flattered and shocked. I’ll never stay in a regular room again lol. It was like an apartment. The location is perfect for food, shopping and the beach. The food was “meh” but the service and kindness of staff MORE than made up for that. The bass music on the roof is loud but not intolerable. I already told my family that this property is a 10/10 luxury experience. I would most definitely recommend Reef 28 AND stay here and ONLY here when I come back. Thank you.

The hotel was aesthetically pleasing, and the staff was kind. While my stay wasn't exceptional, it wasn't a bad experience either. The location was fantastic, with many shopping options, restaurants, bars, and convenience stores nearby. Our room was nice, and housekeeping cleaned every day, which has become rare since COVID. The rooftop offered a beautiful view, and I loved that the pool was heated at night. However, there were several downsides. The lobby and elevators were uncomfortably hot, and the hotel really needs to address this. Although our room was nice, it faced an old grass wall, and the bed pillows were extremely hard. The food quality was lacking, except for the Asian restaurant. The all-inclusive system was inconvenient, requiring us to sit down and order each dish, which took a long time. They only offered one buffet-style meal (breakfast), which I found odd. There were no vegan options and absolutely no options for guests who don't eat pork, so my husband struggled with that all week. Additionally, there was no room service, which was disappointing, and I often felt unsatisfied. Every drink I ordered was not good, and many bartenders did not fully understand English, so I had to go elsewhere for a drink, which was a bummer. While the rooftop was nice, it only had one pool and two warm jacuzzis, leading to overcrowding. Overall, there were some positive aspects of the stay, but several areas need improvements. I would only stay here again if improved.

Staff was SUPER friendly and attentive very different from their other resort in Playacar, we spent a day there and couldn’t get out of there fast enough! Overall very nice facility, however, I believe our room was directly over the waste facility and the stench was trapped in our room. Smell was a bit unbearable, I had to brew coffee to help! The pool is very small and open to the public so don’t count on having much time in the pool. Space is already limited as is. And no room service which was kind of a bummer to always have to go down for drinks and an appetizer. Sometimes you’re just not in a sit down meal mood. Overall it was a good experience.
