The Reef 28 Hotel & Spa – Adults Only

The Reef 28 Hotel & Spa opened in 2018 in downtown Playa del Carmen, steps from Fifth Avenue, and takes adults from 18. The beach is 230 m from the door.

Big suites with a jet tub

All 234 rooms are suites: deluxe juniors with a king or two queens, partial ocean view or city view, Work and Play, master and grand master suites, and the Elite. They have a balcony, a seating area and jet tubs, and guests describe very large rooms and spacious bathrooms. The street and the first-floor restaurant are loud, and the third floor is quieter.

Two pools and a roof with a DJ

The rooftop pool and bar have ocean views, sun loungers and a DJ, and a second infinity pool is partly indoor. Restaurants are Cachito, Roof Top, El Asiático and Veintiocho. A buffet breakfast with Mexican choices runs from 7:00 to 11:00. The spa combines a steam room, a sauna and hot tubs with massages, and yoga classes run too.

Beaches by shuttle

A hotel shuttle runs to the beaches. The ADO bus terminal is 1.1 km away, Parque Fundadores 1.4 km and 5 Av. Nte. 470 m. Flights arrive at Cozumel International Airport, 35.4 km from the hotel.
