We absolutely loved the property, staff is amazing, clean facilities, room was outstanding, and the rooftop was the best part. Only complaint was the food for breakfast, and it took forever to receive your food at the restaurants (over an hour).

Excellent hotel. The only thing is the lady at the breakfast restaurant. Her attitude is discriminatory. When I arrive to the restaurant, she was like “Your breakfast is not included” with attitude voices. I told her, no worries, I’ll pay for that. Her face was very disappointed!

This was our second time at The Reef 28, and we loved it! It’s a very different type of all inclusive, but has wonderful food and service. It’s nice to be able to order from a menu instead of a buffet that’s been picked over. The hotel is very clean.

The hotel was in a convenient location with shopping nearby. There are three restaurants in the hotel that offered various menus. The Cachito Mexican restaurant was very good. The only negative experience was that our room was located across the street from a nightclub/bar which was loud and, unfortunately, it was hard to sleep at night until the nightclub closed at 2am . Otherwise, it was an enjoyable stay at Reef28

Great property, great location, friendly staff, easy parking (free valet) on the busiest street on the beach. The best part — it’s reliable. We were able to stay here even during hurricane Beryl (when the other hotels canceled on us last minute) and they took good care of the guests in terms of hurricane planning with emergency food and drinks. The only thing they could improve on: they use a lot of pressure tactics at check-in to make you attend a sales presentation in exchange for free massage or dinner. This is not very helpful.

The Reef 28 was ok. I went in June with 2 friends. We arrived on a Sunday and did not have our room cleaned until Wednesday despite having the sign hanging on the door. We ran out of towels and we were very low on toilet paper. There was a dampness in the air in our room even though the AC was on the whole time. When we went to book our excursions and inquire about access to the other hotels that were supposed to be included in the “all inclusive package”, we were told they needed our credit cards before taking us to the other hotel. Soon after we realized they were trying to sell us a timeshare. We had to sit through a 1 hour seminar to go to the other property. The spa was enjoyable. We did enjoy the rooftop pool, the music was good and we enjoyed the food although service was extremely slow even if there were only a few people in the restaurant(s). If you asked for anything extra like condiments, the waitress never came back with it. The neighborhood was decent. Very short walk to the beach, bars, nightclubs, shopping etc. Just expect to be harassed by the locals and children trying to sell you stuff or beg for money. While our stay wasn’t the worse, I wouldn’t go back or recommend this hotel to anyone.
