Very clean and very helpful staff. I will definitely come back to this hotel.

The property is beautiful and the staff was very pleasant on the property. While staying here we had the best bartender ever name Jose who was extremely pleasant every day we were here. We tipped him well daily that’s how great he was. The restaurant food on the property was horrible and it takes forever to get food on the rooftop.

Overall amazing! The pool was the biggest plus: nice view, great snacks/drinks by bar. The pool staff are not the nicest, but everything else was amazing. Very clean spaces - the breakfast and lunch buffet were the best of the meal options. We preferred the Thai restaurant to the other two. Quiet area but so close to beach and 5th Ave. Wouldn't think twice about coming back.

I enjoyed the staff at the property. We stayed during their 1-year anniversary event which was a great experience. The resort is close to nightlife, restaurants and shopping. Loved the rooftop pool and views.

Amazing stay! Nice and helpful staff, great food! They have other resorts but the reef 28 is the best. All inclusive and adults only

Property was brand new. Rooms were very well appointed & spacious. Rooftop pool was fantastic. Great atmosphere.

We loved the service at this property - all of the employees gave us a sense of pride in their work and delivered great support to us customers. While the cocktails and beverages were great, the food was exceptional! One thing I'd like to see slightly improved would be the cleanliness.

Great location. Amazing value. Can improve the quality of food. Amazing pool. Good gym. Liked it a lot

We liked a lot about Reef 28. Since it was built recently, the facilities were in great condition. We loved the location, which was between the main touristy street and the beach, so avoided the crazy party noise and crowds. The sister property with beach access was walkable, another nice feature. Food was often mediocre. We had a few things we really liked, but overall I would say the food was ok. Also good to keep in mind that all inclusive often means small portions, but that’s fine because you can try more things and order more of what you like. Service was overall ok as well. Some staff seemed friendly and happy to help (everyone at the front desk was great), while others did not seem very happy to be there. Bed was comfortable, but we had an issue with our room being extremely humid, to the point that our books and passport pages started warping. We went to the front desk about it on the second day, and they sent people to check it out immediately. They messed with the air conditioner and it seemed to get better at first, but it either broke again or it’s just a humid room. I hung a wet shirt up to dry and it didn’t dry after three days. So I don’t know if this was specific to our room or what, but we didn’t pursue it any more because I don’t mind humidity and we would just be washing everything when we got home anyway. Overall: ok to pretty good food, ok to good service, great location, beautiful hotel.

Excellent hotel. This is not a huge resort which is why their service is personalized and they truly take care of the guests. New. Right next to 5th Avenue and the beach, but not immersed in the chaos. Perfect location. Clean, beautiful ocean view from the roof top. Perhaps one of the most unique spa facilities I have ever seen. Hydrotherapy pool is sensational. We were so impressed with the entire staff - professional, spoke English very well, very accommodating. Food service was a bit slow but given the all-around amazing experience they provided, this one won’t even meet the eye. I would, without hesitation, go back here again.

This was a new hotel in a good location, just a block away from that 5th avenue shopping promenade which is something you should probably avoid unless you're shopping. We got harassed by vendors a few times walking down this street, and it was really annoying, to the point that I had to say something not so nice to one of the "nice guys" there. Another issue with the hotel is the moment we arrived, before we even got our room key, someone who is affiliated with them tried to upsell us something already. Not really sure what it was, but it was probably related to time share. Anyway, that was not a good first impression at all. Regarding the food, the breakfast is soso. The only thing good was the egg station otherwise everything else taste the same. We tried the Asiatico restaurant for dinner and my God, I think this might be one of be worst Asian fusion places I've been. Like seriously not sure what the chef is trying to do here... We didn't try the other restaurant they have even though we have all-inclusive.

good hotel god location . great staff . really recomended. . amazing pool and all the food quality not good at all sorry

From the minute we walked in we were greeted with glasses of mimosas. Check in and check out process was extremely quick. The staff, the food, the hotel everything was amazing. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this hotel. Walking distance to the beach and Calle 5.

It was a nice new hotel that opened up in playa del Carmen. I really do love the rooftop pool because it gives a glimpse of the ocean. It is not a beachfront hotel and there are three restaurants in the hotel but only two for dinner. It’s a small hotel but does the job for a small weekend getaway.

Girls on the rooftop bad service everything else and everybody else at this hotel amazing
