My son and I stayed there in 2009, and we're planning on going back come June. This resort is the perfect size, if you're looking for a party place and 5 star resort, this isn't the place for you, it has gorgeous landscaping, clean and wonderful people who work there. It's a 10 mintue walk to the fabulous fifth avenue... More

Enjoyed to vacation, the beach was a bit small and was just a narrow strip but that was the same as all the hotels in the area. It was a nice stroll south of the resort as you reach the end of the hotels and then it was just beach and jungle and perfect powder white sand. The meal in... More

We stayed at the Reef from Jan 27 to Feb 10. I think this resort is a good value for the money. The grounds are beautiful as is the beach. The rooms are somewhat worn, but clean and comfortable. The waitstaff were wonderful, Humberto at the swim up pool bar, Gilbert at the open air seating at the buffet and... More

This was a very great experience. There is nothing i can say, but good things about this resort. Everything was as perfect as we wanted to be. Clean rooms, spotless. Great variety of food. The jungle style is just unbelievable, makes it one of the best styles. When it`s hot you can cool off under palms and leaves. The staff... More

I am a 34-year-old female who traveled to Playa Del Carmen from Jan. 28-Feb. 11 (13 days) with my parents who are in their mid-50s. My husband was unable to get the time off from work, so he had to stay back in wintery Wisconsin while I caught some rays at Reef Playacar. First of all, if you're in your... More

Our multi family group of 15 stayed here the week before Christmas. It was a perfect choice due to the small size of the property. The front desk did a great job of putting us all in the same area with the requested bed arrangements. Being such a small resort, we could always keep track of where each other were.... More

The night before the wedding we hosted a cocktail party at Nico’s for all of the wedding guests. There were 56 of us. It was wonderful... More

As a family of 11 (with 2 children) we spent our family vacation at the Reef Playacar. We chose this resort because of the size, it's smaller and more personal, and dispite some of the reviews it's beautiful!! The rooms were a little outdated and the beds were a bit hard, but in general well kept and clean. We all... More
