The Reef Playcar, Playa del Carmen, MX

We stayed three days in The Reef Playacar.  This hotel is a charming solid 3 1/2 star hotel. Upon arrival you are greeted and then directed to the frontdesk. Beware that there are timeshare agents that will to help but they will try to steer you into sitting in on a meeting and viewing.  Just say no and they will back off.

The lobby has a wall waterfall a business center and bar. The lobby is setup with WI FI.  When you leave this area and you head to your room you walk out into a jungle, complete with a cenote and waterfall. You will also see geko's and agoutis running around.

There is no elevators in this hotel. It is a small resort so it is easy to get to and from the beach.

The resort has two pools and one hot tub. They could have more lounge chairs. If you did not get them early you may not get one. The hotel has four bar areas, one al carte, two snack areas, ice cream parlor (that offer ice cream, specialty coffee, and ice coffee) and one buffet restaurants. There is an entertainment area, and hall for shows,receptions and meetings. The have a board posting with all the activities that would be going for the week.

I did not see any kids clubs, I did see children playing soccer and other games with staff from the hotels.

There where none motorsport activities available as well. The beach area was great and you could walk to town from the beach. It is shorter to walk on the road to town.

The rooms could use some updating as well as the linen, room drapes and taps.

The service given from the staff that was there was excellent. The staff at the buffet restaurant where run off there feet. They could of used a few more people especially at dinner time. We ate later to avoid most the people with the large families and children.

This hotel I would recommend. For the price it was great! It may not be a five star but it is not a mega resort so you can get to know people and build friendships.














I will definetly return to this hotel as it felt like home when you where there.
