Do not stay here!

I had to check out of the hotel early because the bed was rock hard. When I tried getting service at the pool side snack bar it took forever. Within two hours of being there, we wanted to check out. The beach in front of the hotel is a marina...not appealing. There was seaweed everywhere on the beach and it smelled. The hotel receptionist was nice and when I went back up to say i was checking out, she helped me and told me I was going to get a refund for the 7 nights. I had booked 9 nights and there was a penalty for checking out early of one night (which was fine). However, after repeated attempts they have not issued my refund on my credit card!!! i incorrectly booked the room for 2 adults and one child...my child was 10 and forgot to change his age and it said he was 2 yrs old. again fine, i needed to pay $360 cash for 9 nights at $40/nt. When i checked out that same day, they refunded me for 7 nights $280...again, okay. but it's been 4 weeks now and I'm still awaiting for my refund for the 7 nights. Hotels.com has been absolutely terrible in helping me with this issue as well. Ever since Expedia bought them out, the service with hotels.com is almost as terrible and the Reef Coco. hotel manager reading this review, please make this right and honor your word of giving me a refund. Also, I can tell your reviews are bot reviews...stop paying for bots to boost up your review ratings.

I was very unhappy with the room we were staying. There was issues with the sink. We had reported it to the front desk. But it seems like they didn’t care. We were in water in the bathroom for three days. Until finally someone came to the bathroom and take care of it the problem…….than two days before our check out date employees after employees keep asking what time we we’re going to check out. It was annoying because we were just trying to relax!!! Overall I will give you nothing, but complains!!!!

My family and I stayed at the resort for six days. It is very quiet but pleasant. We liked everything it offers. The only bad thing is that we couldn't enjoy the beach which looks very dirty due to the sargassum. It has easy access to Fifth Avenue, very convenient for walking and enjoying. For me, the best thing was the food at the buffet restaurant, it offers a wide variety of food and it was very good. Our host, Grecia, was very friendly at all times, making us feel very comfortable when enjoying our meals. I highly recommend her. I can recommend this resort. If you just want to enjoy the pool, you can go anytime, but if you want to enjoy the beach, it is best to go from March to April, or travel to Cozumel by ferry!

The resort was very nice and cozy. Although it’s not very large, it felt safe and easy to navigate — which was perfect for both my parents and young kids. Day 1: From transportation to check-in, everything went smoothly. All the staff we encountered were friendly, professional, and welcoming. Day 2: We learned that restaurant reservations are made daily, which meant waking up early just to secure a spot. We got up at 6:30 AM only to find that the Japanese restaurant was already fully booked. Surprisingly, the front desk was able to book us a reservation for the following day, which felt misleading considering we were told reservations are same-day only. Because of this confusion and inconsistency, I deducted one star. Departure Day: Unfortunately, our experience ended on a bad note. Our airport driver was unprofessional — driving unsafely while using his phone, which made us feel very uncomfortable. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, especially when guest safety is at risk. Deducting another star for this. Overall, the resort itself is beautiful and the staff (aside from the driver) were great. Despite the issues, we will definitely come back again — hoping for improvements next time.

The property is very nice. The U-shape around the pool adds a quality of inclusiveness with the others. Unfortunately, noise late at night in one area or another was a problem for us. Music and other noise travels pretty much throughout the property. If you are sensitive to noise, this may not be a place for you. If the staff knows that there are truly quiet corners of the property, then they should make guests aware of that and guide them to those rooms. Even when I asked before making reservations and while staying there, I didn't learn of any quiet rooms. The sargassum this summer is awful - every beach suffers from it. Reef's efforts to keep it under control on their immediate beach and sea area bounded by a sargassum fence helped.

Staff is very friendly with the exception of one lady who was trying to sell us the package of buying a condo. Told her I wasn’t interested but since I was with my whole family I told her she could directly speak to them instead of trying to speak to me at the same time since I did t want her to waste her time on me. She took it offensively and said I was a “grosera”. The overall place is what you would expect an all inclusive to be. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food this is not the place to eat at. It is close to 5th Ave where there are other popular places to eat and it’s easily walkable. The beach was filled with Sargassum which kinda of ruined our beach area and the smell was horrible but that’s uncontrollable. Alcoholic Drinks were just all very sweet. Safest thing to get is beer. Don’t think I would be coming back.

Very disappointing hotel. They could make it so much nicer for very little effort but a rundown seven hole pup, putt golf course and rough food selection and staff that either can’t get their stories straight or is outright lying to gas. It was very disappointing.
