    This place suits me perfectly with its beach access, outdoor swimming pool, and 24-hour reception. The staff helped me with a late departure on my first stay, which I truly appreciated. Remember to book early for the best experience!

    updated room

    Couldn't recommend more for a weekend break

    Lush garden, friendly staff, the room we had was recently updated and very comfortable, and the beach access was easy and enjoyable, making our exploration of the city a breeze.

    Nothing, all was good.

    poor food quality

    i had a wonderful stay at reef playacar beach resort during my recent visit to playa del carmen. the lush tropical gardens and beachfront blew me away. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive during our romantic getaway. everything exceeded my expectations from my previous stays in the area.

    the food variety was quite limited.

    fun activities
    friendly staff
    great location
    lack of coffee maker

    Our group vacation was a blast! We enjoyed activities like the floating ride and the cheerful multicolored evening. The staff organized great pool games and nightly shows. The vibe was perfect, and the location is close to shopping. Definitely a relaxed spot to unwind with friends!

    One downside was the room. there was no coffee maker, which made mornings less convenient. Also, the Wi-Fi was unreliable, making it tough to stay connected when we wanted to. Just something to keep in mind.

    clean beach
    tropical paradise
    disorganized service
    understaffed dining
    early closure

    The beach was clean, and the staff worked tirelessly to keep it that way, clearing out seaweed every morning. The lush vegetation made it feel like a tropical paradise. However, the service left much to be desired. there were long waits at the bar with disorganized seating and an early closure of facilities. Dining was disappointing too, as the buffet service was understaffed and chaotic, which marred the overall experience considerably.

    I loved the lush jungle atmosphere and spacious rooms. The beach was swimmable and safe with no rocks. Staff were friendly and quick to assist. The Italian restaurant had excellent food. A great experience.

    dirty beach
    faulty tv

    The beach was unkept with litter and seaweed. Our room had issues with the TV and required constant resetting. Additionally, the reception staff pushed too many upsells, which was frustrating after a long trip.

    tropical gardens
    spacious rooms
    accessible restrooms
    limited food
    poor food quality

    The lush tropical gardens and serene jungle paths made walking to my room a delightful experience. The spacious rooms had all necessary amenities, and the accessible restrooms were a thoughtful touch for seniors like myself.

    Food variety and quality need significant improvement.
