Here is our Reef Playacar Hotel Review:
The Reef Playacar Hotel is actually a series of small villas surrounding two large and beautiful pool areas with gardens of tropical flowers and palms. The hotel is situated along a nice stretch of white sand beach. This all-Inclusive resort is the sister property to the brand new Reef Isla Coco Beach. The Reef Playacar Hotel is one of the original Playa del Carmen resorts and as such is older and considerably more basic.
Facilities:
210 Hotel Rooms, 2 Pools, Children's Pool, 2 Restaurants, Snack bar, Bars, Pool bar, Watersports, Tennis, Scuba dive shop on property, Fitness Gym, Golf nearby, Kid's club.

"We went on the (time-share) tour and was hosted by Orlando. We were there for 3 hours. We were told there was NO pressure but that was not true at all. We had 2 pressuring us. Then we were promised things for going on the tour and were not given them when we went back up to the office. We were given the run around for 2 days and then told we could not have them. And almost was not given our $20.00 deposit back there. This has left a very bad taste in our minds."

"The accomodations greatly exceeded our expectations. The feeling of being in such a tropical atmosphere was great. Food was plentiful and delicious, activities galore, staff were VERY friendly and helpful and the beach was beautiful. You could not ask for anything more. I would recommend the Reef Playacar to anyone and would not hesitate to stay there again. I was there with my son and family from Sweden and they felt the same as I did." - Barbara from Norwich, CT

"This hotel is on the downward slide. Watch out 4 the "snakes!" The Concierge pushed us for a tour of the club - a timeshare scam. When we refused to sign a commitment that day. Max, a manager for the marketing company, treated us rudely. We booked some tours with a Reef staff member. Alan scammed us out of several hundred USD, and I was unable to take my son fishing. One of the reasons we went to Mexico. I found out that even though Alan wore a Reef shirt and name tag, he did not work for the hotel. No one would admit to whom he worked for. 4 nights out of 8 we had no hot water for bathing, the 1st night our tub plug was broken. The last 3 nights of our stay, 1 of our rooms had sewage water leaking into the tub stall. The electrical wiring is also scary. I feel the resort is a firetrap. The equipment that is included is subpar at best. The boogie boards were all torn and falling apart. The food at Chula Vista is average with very little change in the menu. All 4 of us got very sick from the food. My 60-year-old mother is still vomiting after 2 days at home. The Manager is unprofessional and will promise you the world, all lies. Do not expect to be compensated for any incontinence. I received a free message certificate that did not cover the total cost of the message. The hotel wanted me to sign a waiver promising no legal action against the hotel."

"We went to the Reef Club on my sisters recommendation. We were celebrating my daughters 21st birthday. My parents joined us and we had the time of our lives. The staff was amazing and took care of us like we were VIPS! They would have tables ready for us in the buffet because there were 5 of us, they had to put tables together everyday. The Italian dinner in the restaurant was great. Order the molten lava chocolate cake! The beach was closed one or two days but we always found plenty to do. Although we did a few tours, we could have been just as happy hanging at the resort the whole time. Our room was always very clean and she would leave our spare towels in the shape of a swan and then pick Hibiscus flowers and put around the swan. Very nice touch. There was construction next door at the new place but it didn't bother us since we were early-risers. We were only leary about the swim up bar pool because you never see people get out and it smelled! We nick named it the pee-pee pool and wouldn't go in that one. My sister is a repeat customer and we are going back next May for our 15th anniversary. I can't wait." - Melissa from Las Vegas, Nevada

"Pretty good time for us, weather was really good, quick walk to 5th ave.room was good despite not getting a garden view, luck of the draw I guess, food was very good, resort bikes were really crappy, single kayaks had holes in them so they recommended not to use for more than a 15 minute paddle I thought that was really weak some of us like a little longer, your own cup is a must, they dont wash glasses very well at all..scary and the last day my Wife and I got very ill and so did 40 other people I told someone at the office they didnt seem to care much." - Don from Surrey, British Columbia

"Beautiful grounds, jungle like. Rooms OK-food excellent-staff friendly-good location-down side NO BEACH and the WORST DRINKS on earth-they do a quick rinse of the glasses-no washing and the soap does not get rinsed off- if you are a drinker I suggest going to town as soon as you get there and purchase your own stuff-at least your own glass and wash it in your room when needed. This place was cheap-but you get what you pay for." - Steve, Idaho Falls, Idaho

"We have stayed at the Reef many times, the staff remembers us each time we come. This resort is so much better than the big boys next door or down the beach. You get to meet people and have a great time. Most people who visit Mexico have the mind set that it is going to be just like back home in the states, it is not it is Mexico. You need to respect the culture and the people. We highly recommend the Reef, we will be there in October. we were there for the world series when Boston won, wow the treeatment we got was fantastic we are Big Red Sox fans. Go, get a good book, relax by the pool or the beach and enjoy the day. You will not be just a number here, it is small and the staff cares about their guests." - Melanie Concord , New Hamshire
