The Reef Playacar Beach Resort & Spa I stayed at The Reef Playacar from July 5 to 9 with my son. It was our first time there. When we got there, the staff were cool and welcoming especially Sonia. At first, the place looked kinda small but once you check it out, it’s way bigger than it seems. The room was modern and clean and the mattress was firm which was nice for sleeping. Just a heads up though, there were a lot of mosquitoes so bring some bug spray. The Mexican a la carte was pretty bad but the Italian restaurant was really good especially the lasagna. The buffet was better than most buffets I’ve been to at other resorts with lots of options and tasty food. We loved the beach even with all the seaweed. The water only gets about five feet deep most places so if you swim past the seaweed you’ll be fine no drowning. If you keep swimming or walk on the sand you’ll find spots with no seaweed. The pool was fun but kinda dirty. The spa was awesome and the gym was small but had what you need. They also have these jungle gyms like actual gyms in the jungle area of the resort made mostly of wood and it’s like a mini real gym. Drinks were good the snack bar was alright and the upstairs club was lively. I’d recommend this place especially since it’s way cheaper than other all-inclusives. It was just 200 bucks extra for all-inclusive for two people for four nights which is a good deal. They should definitely work on killing the mosquitoes and keeping the pool cleaner though.

Great experience. Don’t pay for the upgrade. Hotel stay was great. We came to celebrate birthdays with family and friends. David made sure everyone felt special. Santos, Mauricio and Moses made the poop days so much fun! We payed for the upgrade which was supposed to include transportation to and from the resorts and upgraded alcohol. Most of the time the upgraded alcohol was not at the pool bar. We also made dinner reservations at Cocobeach. As soon as we go there, I signed up to get transportation back. When the van showed up, we were told there was not enough room for our group and we had to wait another hour to see if there would be seats. We ended up paying for two cabs which was an inconvenience. Despite the issue with the upgrade, something we won’t do again because it is not worth the money, we had a fantastic time!
