Great experience! Second time staying here and we really like it, the only thing we don’t like much is the food options. Other than that the staff is great and super friendly and love how close it is to Quinta Avenida which is where everything is.

We loved the Reef 28 so much, we cancelled our last night in Cancun, to come back to the reef in Playa Del Carmen. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and right in the center for shopping, beaches, dock, restaurants bars, nightclubs, etc. the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Valet parking if you drive. Rooftop bars and pools are beautiful with beautiful views of the city and ocean. Best place to stay in Playa del Carmen and all of Cancun.

The property was very well maintained and had multiple restaurants and bars. Food was generally good. Service was outstanding. Two people in particular stand out; Anel ("wonder woman") at the rooftop bar and Abraham at the main floor bars. On my first day I was alone, and these two made my experience memorable and wonderful. Their service and friendliness was way above the call of duty, and made my time very enjoyable. Also Samuel, Alex, and Francisco at the rooftop and Daniel at the Mexican restaurant bar were great!

The hotel was beautiful and the staff was fantastic. The restaurants were delicious. I did find myself waking up in the middle of the night due to noise from the bar across the street. My room was cleaned and pretty but had a moldy smell.

not a good location if you want relaxation, the property is located right across a bar that plays loud music all the way until 2/3 AM. the upside is that it’s a short walk from the beach. the hotel will try to persuade you to pay for a day pass to the sister properties with a shuttle; which is a short walk away- when in reality it’s for you to go tour a timeshare. the food is delicious in the mexican restaurant, the asian is bland. service is hit or miss, i was lucky with certain servers who were top notch then there are some who don’t even pay any attention to you.

Overall it's a good bang for the price. But have to warn those looking for a quiet getaway. Pros: Price, comfort, cleanliness, great staff, location (1 block from beach), restaurants/bars, walking distance to nightlife/restaurants on Quinta Ave. No car rental needed. Tours/Excursion desk in lobby with transportation provided. Pharmacy/drug store & 7Eleven located right outside the entrance. Great breakfast buffet. Cons: No room service & no to-go box or carry out from restaurants in hotel. You must dine in. Rooftop closes/music shuts off @11pm. Pool needs renovation. View of the ocean is mainly from the rooftop deck. Rooms have a view of surrounding abandoned/closed buildings with damages caused by the hurricane. Warning: On the side and front streets there are bars that are opened til 3am nightly with loud music/karaoke. Didn't bother us as we're from a party city and enjoy the nightlife but for those looking for peace and tranquil, this hotel is noisy. The hotel's center is open so the inside noise comes from the ground floor's restaurant/bar.
