We unfortunately had to cancel our original hotel due to no water available - so we were so glad to book with The Reef last minute! The hotel was very bougie! Staff was kind, our room was clean, and had a nice little balcony. Rooftop bar, cold pool and hot tub area was very large and bougie! Evenings were loud and bumpin! But mornings were a great time for us to relax, sunbathe and enjoy reading a book. My only complaint during our stay was that we paid for our breakfast buffet included with our stay, we ate breakfast and was unclear on directions of dining so after we ate, we left a tip and left. But got yelled after to come back by 3 people because we did not pay. It was very embarrassing. But overall, was a very nice place to stay and would definitely recommend!

The resort was so beautiful and majority of the staff were very kind to my husband and I. The restaurants inside the resort were fantastic and convenient. My only complaint about our room is that it smelled of mildew at all times. We left our balcony doors open everyday because the smell was so strong. Though I don’t mind noise, the noise and club music outside of the hotel never stops since it’s downtown and close to the beach. Music plays until around 4am. I also felt frustrated with the amount of scammers and aggressive pop up shops lined along the street. You’re hassled for business as soon as you step out of resort. Overall, it was a good stay and experience in the hotel.

2nd time there. Beautiful stay even better than our 1st time a year ago. I wouid say the food and service is much better and the roof top pool and bar no longer seem like a dance club which is much more tasteful. Food was outstanding and cocktails and coffee were amazing.

This resort is comviniently located 1 block from 5th avenue and 1 block from the beach. It has the option of being fully all inclusive which was great for the foodies who enjoy eating off resort. We opted for the breakfast to be all inclusive and enjoyed the many restaurant in the area. Quick note the restaurant on callee 38 is where it is at just a quick walk over .

We had a pleasant stay overall, but we encountered several issues with the staff that significantly impacted our experience. There were instances where the information provided was misleading; for example, we were initially told that we could bring food from the dining area to our room. However, when we attempted to do so, we were informed it was against the rules. When we confronted the staff member who had given us that information, she claimed she didn’t understand or speak English, which felt like an evasion of responsibility. Additionally, the food choices were quite limited, and by the third day, we were already growing tired of the options available. To make matters worse, excessive noise outside at night disrupted our ability to relax. Overall, these factors detracted from what could have been a much more enjoyable experience.

We recently stayed at Reef 28, an all-inclusive resort that offers a great location and the intimacy of a smaller resort. It's close to the town, beach, and offers access to sister hotels. The highlight was the food, especially for a vegan like me. Brenda, the guest service manager, and the chefs were very accommodating, offering delicious vegan options at every meal. While communication with Brenda before our stay was challenging, once we connected, I was impressed with the service and variety of vegan dishes. However, the rooftop pool area had loud DJ music, making it impossible to relax. The volume was unbearably high, and despite several requests to the staff and manager to lower it, nothing changed. The DJ even responded dismissively, saying, "If they're not happy, they can go somewhere else." While we liked the music itself, it was far too loud for a relaxing environment. We ultimately wore earplugs to tolerate the noise. In conclusion, the resort’s location, food, and service were great, but the loud music and uncooperative DJ impacted our overall experience. If you're seeking a quiet, relaxing stay, this may not be the right choice.
