Here are the likes:loved the beach , spacious, soft white sand, blue water very little sargass grass, pretty much none until the last day when it was windy , lounge chairs options were through out the property, we saved seats before we ate breakfast and never had an issue, seemed to be enough for everyone, always felt like it wasn’t crowded, maybe it was the jungle /trees through out ? No lines for meals , activities were great, mostly Elena the activity director!! She was so spunky, great Zumba in the pool, she made mine and my daughters

Upon arrival the front desk manager was arguing with a guest. Not very professional. He was telling her regardless of what she said, he was changing her for a damaged mirror. That’s scary. Upon Checking in we were warned losing the towel card for the pool would result in a $35 charge per key. Scary. We paid for the VIP upgrade. Not worth the cost. They ran out of top shelf alcohol by1pm. Cabanas filled up quickly. Buffet food was terrible. Property was nice. Needs better management.

This beachfront resort is in an excellent area, Playacar, which is gated and feels very safe. Walking, riding bikes or getting a taxi is easy. Outside of Playacar there are shops, historical sites, and museums. Wonderful restaurants locally, as well. But, there is also no reason to leave the Reef as there are restaurants on site, too. Boticelli and Terrazzo grill were our favorites. The Ome Spa was fabulous; we enjoyed our massages. We utilized the dive shop. The staff is helpful and friendly; we had a few delays that were not staff's fault. Also, the captain of the boat dropped us off quite a way from shore in our BCDs making us navigate waves and wind back to shore. Again, not staff's fault who were apologetic. Overall, we found the Reef to meet our needs and expectations.

Had a wonderful time at this resort. Was perfect for us. Travelled with husband and two babies. Not too over the top but beautiful. The beach was cleaned up pretty good even if sargassum had started to get bad on a lot of Quintana Roo beaches, no issues for swimming. The area is very quiet and safe but also walking distance to playa del Carmen for a more upbeat feel. Food was good too, and all the workers were so nice. Would love to come back.

The customer service was not very polite and they charged extra for many things like a spot on a sheet to clean!!! Really that are the fees included in room service normally! Really not a nice place for the vacation ,a bit stressful a 60 minutes massage ended in 45 minutes, that is money taken from customer ,not nice. When I complained nothing was done to compensate ,really bad service!
