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

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

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 The rooms were a little outdated and the beds were a bit hard, but in general well kept and clean.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
