me and my partner recently stayed here and it was great! mimosas when we walked + a mini tour to get accustomed. many options for drinking. not too many dining options but it’s not bad but if you want to switch it up there’s eateries nearby. i would recommend utilizing the transportation provided by the hotel and paying an extra $15 to go to the sister hotel!! truly a great experience

I have stayed at Reef28 the last couple of years. This year the property is now just about selling upgrades. There were about 10chairs total available at the pool. Everything else was an upgrade (buy a bottle to get a chair). We were treated like second class citizens even though we paid full price for all-inclusive. The day stay party people are treated better than guests at the property. Not staying at Reef28 again.

The staff were so nice and sweet. I asked the staff if they could do something special to our room for our first vacation as a couple and they put rose petals on the bed and chocolate with champagne. I have never felt so loved and appreciated staying at a hotel. I would definitely go back again!

Reef 28 was an amazing place to stay at, food was amazing & the staff went out of their way to take care of you. There was an option to go to their sister hotels and enjoy the same services we had at our hotel for a very affordable price which was awesome. Breakfast was great and the rooftop pool was amazing. Calle 5 or 5th street was 2 minutes away and there was so much to do on that street and it was never ending also the public beach was behind the hotel for a short walk as well. It was great as it was adults only and very economical so if you get a chance to go I recommend this hotel.

Great location! Only 2 blocks from beach and 1 block from the famous 5th Avenue where all the restaurants and shops are! Every morning we walked to get coffee and every evening we walked to have dinner. We were able to walk everywhere! All the staff was wonderful! The roof top pool and bar area is nice! Food was great! View is amazing! My only complaints were that the bubbles were kind of annoying, one of the umbrellas was blown over on me by wind and it hurt my arm and if you don’t get there early you will not get a seat.

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!
