The 10 Best Hotels in Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo for 2019

More positives than negatives, however there were some pretty significant negatives. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, by far the cleanest, most chic of all the reef resorts. The location is unbeatable, a block to the beach, a block to the Main Street. The rooms were huge, modern, exactly as shown in photos. Unlike most all inclusive, which usually only include a buffet, the restaurants at the reef 28 are included. The food was amazing. The spa is the best spa we have ever been to, and very reasonably priced. Now for the negatives. The roof top pool was underwhelming, much smaller than we anticipated. We didn’t spend much time up there. The beach is obviously “man made,” with imported sand. However the biggest negative was the climate control in the rooms. As soon as we arrived, we noticed that while the temperature was low, it was incredibly humid in the room, to the point where the sheets were literally damp. I asked someone about this and they told me that there was nothing that could be done. It was so humid that by the third day, BOTH of our laptops, which had worked perfectly well on the first day we were there, and did not leave the room once, had both sustained PERMANENT WATER DAMAGE. Just from sitting in the room. We are now out over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS because the humidity in the room was out of control. This alone is almost enough to make me give the hotel 1 star. Do not bring electronics except for a cell phone if you choose to stay here.

We love almost everything. We were expecting more clear water wat the beach but it was full of seaweed. I guess is part of the season. Just that we expected more clear water like Cancun. But overall we like the whole resort. Food was pretty good too in all the restaurante we tried
