The property was soooo clean and room was beautiful, the woman Brenda from guest services was very nice and helped me when I was unhappy with an issue with my room. The head chef Castro blew me away with how amazing he was, he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the food. Overall the hotel is within walking distance from the shops and the staff was soooo nice even one of the waiters Luis was very nice and attentive I can’t go on enough about the staff I definitely would come back.

Very noisy karaoke bar across the street that has ppl singing all hours of the night. The roof top is the only pool area and it’s a super small pool with minimal area to sit around pool without feeling like the focal point of attention alway. Not a “resort” style place. More like a Miami hotel roof top club with pounding House music all day and night. Food was really good at each restaurant, the front lobby bar had the kindest bartenders. We enjoyed the hotel look, the rooms were large and overall clean but they do not provide water bottles or new fresh clean cups daily to drink from which we found odd. Service was slow at the restaurants but everyone overall was kind except the front desk staff who had a few individuals who were rude but others who were great. Luckily when staying at the Reef 28 you have full access to their sister resort The reef coco beach which is a short 10 min walk. Coco Beach is a great family Resort with a massive pool, great service and food which can all be used. If it wasn’t for access to coco beach our stay would have been a nightmare at the reef 28 but we were so happy with coco beach amenities and had beautiful private beach access.

We were greeted with drinks the moment we arrived, for someone who greeted us and asked if we wanted free vouchers for a presentation for a vocation club. We agreed and then had someone for a hour threatened and pressure us to sign up for a 10 year contract paying for what you would pay for a brand new kia optima wanting a percentage up front for this vocation club wanting a down payment; I continued to decline where they became nasty, rude, threatening, and scary not taking no for an answer, I almost felt like my life was in jeopardy at this point, being in a foreign country. Then after the representative, manager couldn’t convince me they brought the their boss, where I stated I didn’t have the money for them to leave me alone. She then said can we offer you a credit, ‘like really! Ruined my whole trip where I felt threatened to even be there afterwards.
