Modern and pleasant lobby. Friendly service. Unfortunately we had cold showers but this was fixed quickly. Safe didn’t seem to work in the room. Pool area is dance party vibe/couples. Some gym equipment was not working. Free self parking was valet but free. Convenient location. Spacious room with sitting area and small balcony. Fridge and microwave handy! Coffee maker was clean.

Everything at your property was splendid. From the time we walked in, your staff, especially Angelo, made us feel warm and welcome. Every meal from breakfast to dinner was well done and tasted great. Portion size was just right as well. The female bartender at Lobby28, didn't get her name, made the prettiest/tastiest drinks. She made each one with care. Selfishly, I could have had the smoked salmon every morning at breakfast. We only had it once. My only thing that I could consider a negative, and it was my fault, was that there wasn't a usb plug/charger in the room. I left my brick at home but was able to walk across the street to the gift shop to purchase one. I also, enjoyed that the property was a block away from both the beach and the downtown shopping area. We normally travel beachfront properties but this was a nice change of pace! Overall, excellent trip and job by your entire property and staff on our first ever all inclusive/adults only property! Keep up the excellent work!

I’ll start off with the good. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I mistakenly left my phone in the car that brought us from the airport and the lobby staff was nice enough to let me use the phone to solve my issue. The room was modern and nice but like some of the comments it does have a smell. If you notice there aren’t any pictures of the grounds it’s because it’s not on a resort it’s literally just a hotel. While researching this place it didn’t even cross my mind that I didn’t see any photos of anything besides the rooftop and the different rooms. My husband and I was celebrating our honeymoon and definitely thought this was an adult only resort. We purchased the all inclusive package and they only have 3 food places to choose from. The hotel is located on a street with different businesses and it’s sort of unsettling that anyone can just walk into the building. While you do have to use your keycard to get on the elevator, the stairs are right there so it doesn’t stop outsiders from coming into the building. It’s sort of unsafe if you ask me. The roof top was really nice it’s honestly the best part of the hotel but the dj played techno/edm music only. My husband had to ask him a few times if he had any hip hop or r&b and he literally played it for 10 minutes and went right back to the techno music. There is no nightly entertainment at all. If you are looking for a luxury resort style place this is not the place to be. But again the staff is lovely!

The location is fantastic , close to shops, nightlife and very central. The hotel is lucky to have mostly incredible, polite, professional staff - we have to mention Brenda, Antonio and Christhian. All extremely helpful and really tried to resolve the problems we had at the hotel. We had problems with noise and music from The bars opposite the hotel until 5am on first night :( There is no beach with Reef 28 and the private Reef Beach is with an extra charge ,15 minutes away. Breakfast is nice with lots of nice choices and fruits - polite friendly staff. Thank you Brenda …. You are a star ⭐ we hope too see you again . July 2025

Property was nice and clean. Staff were very pleasant. Rooms are a good size and it’s located near the beach. I would improve the breakfast buffet. It was a little bland and the coffee could be better. Otherwise though a nice affordable stay option close to restaurants and beach.
