The Reef 28

Last updated: 24 May, 2023

Feeling like a little piece of South Beach Miami transported to Playa del Carmen, the adults-only Reef 28 mixes urban comfort and ocean views and sits right in Playa’s party central.

Bright modern rooms with wall-high windows come in a contemporary neutral palette, with soft creams offset with olive, cinnamon, polished stone and worked wood.

The rooftop sundeck has expansive ocean views – seen from a busy bar or a big, group-share Jacuzzi plunge-pools and the fountain-tingling spa has an indoor pool fed by artificial waterfalls.

There are two good restaurants, a big buffet breakfast and heaps of eateries, bars and shops right outside the front door.

 

Surrounding area

Fifth Avenue – Playa del Carmen’s bar-bursting, club-pounding party street is just outside the front door. There are plenty of supermarkets, restaurants and cafes less than 2 minutes’ walk away.

The beach – where the hotel has a beach bar club – is two blocks east.

With pristine beaches to the north and south and a lively urban centre, Playa del Carmen offers the intimate back-to-nature feel of Tulum and Puerto Morelos and Cancun’s urban amenities and nightlife – albeit on a smaller scale. The town is close to Cozumel island (for reef dives) and the big Xcaret and Xel-Ha adventure parks.
