Rooms were clean but both showers were out of shampoo and soap. Staff could have been friendlier, many times walking into the lobby we weren’t welcomed because the entire staff was on their phones, not helping people, standing and on their phones. We stay in Mexico at least once or twice a year and it’s usually odd to walk by any staff and not be created. Food at rooftop was better than the food in the restaurants. When checking out, no one offered to help with luggage and that has never happened any where we’ve been. Think that all goes back to the lack of friendliness.

Breakfast was delicious, and seating was usually fast. Clean spacious rooms to sleep in. Most the staff are very prompt and courteous. I enjoyed most my dining experience except for the Mexican restaurant (had to wait 40 minutes for a water and beer to be served, reminded staff and finally got it after walking up to the restaurant bar…the restaurant was not busy at all).

Overall, this was the perfect place for my vacation and exactly what I was hoping for. The food was great (with the exception of the Asian restaurant), the staff were outstanding—especially Alejandro, who went above and beyond throughout my stay—and the room was spacious and comfortable. A few small things to note: The pool area showed some wear and tear. The early morning music (around 6am) was extremely loud one day—my room was actually vibrating! The airport transfer on my return trip didn’t feel roadworthy, and I wouldn’t recommend that particular service to future guests. One major caution: be aware of the “free gifts” offered at check-in. After traveling since 2am, I was exhausted and ended up being pulled into a timeshare presentation. It took up half a day of my vacation and felt misleading. So travelers, just be cautious about that part. Otherwise, the resort itself was wonderful and the staff made my stay memorable.

Over all everything was great. In the morning there was some loud music coming from somewhere (the gym maybe), as early as 7am. Rooftop was great, view, DJ, and everything. It would be nice if there was something going on the rooftop at night, little party with DJ or something.

You must remember to make reservations for dinner on site early each day. Our key card mechanism wouldn’t work at first which was a bit trying after the long flight and their sales pitch before allowing you in your room but they replaced the battery soon after. Location is good and very walkable to shopping, the beach, and the ferry. Also the laundry place is a 10 minute walk as there are no washing units on property.

We were visiting the Yucatan Peninsula area for 2 weeks and decided to end our stay at the Reef 28 having stayed there before. Our selected room was a Grand Master Suite which was outstanding and very spacious and comfortable. The food at the Cantina Capricho was some of the best Mexican food But is not traditional as you might think. It reminded me more of some of the great restaurants in Oaxaca. The breakfast buffet was very good as well. The condition of the Roof Top, specifically the pool and spa's which have been resurfaced (and very poorly)since a prior visit several year ago and in need of a complete renovation. They also chose to shut down parts of the pool area inconveniencing the guest. On our final day it was so frantic that the Mgmt compressed all guest to the tiny section of the upper pool area with no prior notification. This left several guest without seating or scrambling for what to do. As far as the General Management of this Reef property goes. SOMETIMES THE KINDEST WORD IN ALL THE WORLD IS THE UNKIND WORD UNSAID. That being said the employees, especially Brenda in guest services are excellent.
