I attended a conference at The Reef 28 and was very pleased with the hotel as a vegetarian. The rooms were huge, and the water filling areas were close. The breakfast was huge, with so many options and someone who could make specialty egg products. I appreciated that the items were labeled, though in a few causes, I wish it was a little cleared as to what was vegetarian. I'm glad they rotated menus daily on the main restaurant. I also appreciated that on the Mexican restaurant, they rotated the vegetables each day that I ordered tacos.
The rooftop bar was also quite scenic, and I appreciate the energy one day when they brought in dancers. Overall, I liked this place for a conference, and look forward to attending next year.
Was advertised as an all inclusive resort, this was not was given to me at check in. I was told I had not paid for all inclusive and they wanted to charge me an additional $800 for the all inclusive. I believe that they use a bait and switch, the room was extremely clean but the noise was constant,no way to sleep at this place. As for the rooftop completely disappointed the pool was tiny and the place was overcrowded. Everyone kept trying to sell you a deink or have you take a 90 min presentation for timeshare. All I can say was what a disappointment overall…
I would definitely be staying here again when in Playa. Everyone was so hospitable. It rained most of my trip but it didn’t stop us from having a great time. Thank you Eli for scheduling out massages in the spa, Jacqueline was great. Ivan in the Cachito was so amazing we literally ate here everyday and everyone at the front desk was lovely. Martin was our driver for the airport transportation and he was super friendly.
The Reef 28 was a perfect stay. In the middle of loads of shops and restaurants and very close to the beach. This hotel has a roof top bar/pool etc with great views. For a fee you can spend the day or days at the sister hotels which are lovely and attached to their own beach areas and have their own swimming pools. We have a couple issues with our room but the staff were very quick in rectifying the issues and even moving us to a same room first thing the very next morning. Staff are lovely and polite at all times. lovely location, hotel and great place. Would definately revisit and recommend 10/10
We think Reef 28 was incredible and we could not recommend it more! The staff was nothing short of amazing!

I contacted the hotel prior to booking as I was worried about how loud the pool area would be from other complaints. I was told they lowered it. They did NOT. It was LOUD, LOUD, LOUD, couldn't even talk and for a hotel with 100 plus rooms they only have about 15 loungers. So even if we wanted to sit on the rooftop deck, we couldn't.
Then their was the room. Again I asked when I booked to not be on the bar side due to noise. I have to work sometimes on holidays. We get there and are right above the bar that plays more loud music all night long.
Then when I did have to work their WIFI doesn't work, they did accomodate me by allowing me to work in a restaurant area they don't use. It did have good wifi but no AC so I sweated while working
We hated this hotel so much that after 3 days of our 2 weeks we moved elsewhere.
Also the restaurant is decieving. They say they have more than they do. They have ONE restaurant and the their other location is the morning buffet and then turns into italian and asian, there is literally no atmosphere so we mostly ate at the other one.
The only pros were the great staff.
Service excellent! Nourriture et boissons très bons. Bon emplacement près de la plage et de l’animation de la 5e avenue. Belle terrasse avec vue panoramique.
My partner and I absolutely loved the reef 28. The staff were amazing and super nice. The Mexican restaurant, Italian restaurant, Japanese restaurant were all so good and really clean my partner, and I stayed in the rooftop as much as possible and took advantage of the all inclusive and it was worth it. It’s in a perfect spot where it’s not too touristic and still local. The beach is like two blocks away and it’s super clean too. We had the pleasure of being served and taken care of by Angel at the front bar and he was so nice. Alberto in the front desk area was also very helpful. We also paid $15 each to go to the Sister resort and we enjoy that too. The drinks were really well-made and the tequila was super smooth overall 10 out of 10 experience and we will definitely be coming back !
