What our customers say

OUR GUESTS CAN'T BE WRONG!

"SUPER location, Value, & Staff"

The Reef Playacar is located in the lovely Playacar gated vacation community at the edge of Playa Del Carmen. This was our 8th visit and 2nd year for the month of January. The breathtaking beauty of the property, the beach and sea and the welcoming, hardworking staff cannot be beat. The value is incredible with good food, drinks, impeccable service, & friendly staff.

"Exceptional"

Every single staff person was helpful and friendly. The beach is amazing! The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The pools are clean. The food is great. The spa is delightful: the 4 Elements massage with hot stones was amazing.

"Can't go wrong"

Absolutely love this place. All of the all inclusive perks in a smaller place. Beautiful layout with villas spread out through a tropical jungle. Food is good with options through out the day and well into the evening. Plenty of bars through out the complex. Great beach. Antonio at the pool bar is one of the best bartenders you will ever come across. In a gated area with easy access to the shopping district.
