“The Reef Playacar has its charms, particularly the beautiful beach and jungle-like grounds, but one might find themselves venturing into Playa del Carmen for more authentic food and better service. The all-inclusive promise doesn't quite meet expectations regarding quality and ease. Ultimately, a stay here involves weighing natural beauty against some significant compromises.”
