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.
