Hey Brookeann,

 

Me and my FI went on vacation there 2 years ago. The resort is beautiful. Very tropical feel and not super hotel-ly which is what we liked. The beach was great. Staff is very friendly. The only thing we were kinda disappointed in was the food. We LOVE to eat ALL the time, I mean, that's what all-inclusive is for right? Too eat and drink. LOL. But we weren't impressed at all with the food. Besides that, everything else was great. Even the rooms and balconies were spacious! Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello! :) I stayed at The Reef a few years ago with some friends and loved the place.

 

Here are my thoughts :

 

- Great Tropical feel especially the central area inbetween the the buildings it has a lovely canopy of trees . The main reason we stayed here was because it seemed a little more like we were staying in the jungle and not in corporate hotel chain.

 

- Staff were nice and friendly. Definately willing to interact with the guests.

 

- Nightly shows were very much so / so at the time. They may have improved since but when we were there it very much reminded me of going to a school play. Sure everyone did their best and it was somewhat entertaining but definately not professional.

 

- The resort itself is /was smallish and definately not on the scale of other resorts in the area. I have heard of ALOT of people being transferred to other hotels from the reef because it was fully booked and didn't have enough rooms for the individuals arriving. Even when I stayed there they were offering couples the chance to switch to other AI's so that they could accommodate the new guests. This may not be a bad thing all and all we LIKED being able to go and visit other places however if you're planning a wedding you need to be able to count on all your guests being able to stay at your hotel.

 

- Food was alright. Enjoyable for the most part. My BF loved the coconut puddings. I however didn't really enjoy most of the desserts and the food was a little repetative after awhile.

 

Easy walking distance to playa del carmen with a bird sanctuary along the way.

 

Liked the beach nice and sandy but very crowded most days we were there.

 

The pools weren't especially huge but adequate for our needs.

 

They didn't have any weddings going on there when we stayed so I can't really comment on that.

 

Overall I would stay there again, however not sure about the wedding, I think it would depend on where it was held. I wouldn't want to do it on the beach as when I was there it really was crowded... but if you could do it in the jungly area it would be absolutely beautiful.

 

To be completely fair it was about 5 years ago that I went there so it may have changed somewhat in that time?

 

Either way hope this helps.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
