I must say it was one of the best vacations I have ever had. In fact
we are going to return this summer for 10 days this time. Below you
will find my comments.
If you want to save some dough try to find someone who has a "time
share" week or a member who will sell you a voucher.
This year I purchased a voucher from the web site
www.reefclubresort.com and saved over 1200.00 dollars on the trip.
Room:
Our room was a Jr Suite located in the newer - private section of the
resort. We were on the Top floor - On the beach - with a hot tub on
the porch. The maids cleaned it everyday and the staff stocked the
mini fridge with free beer and cokes all week. We had two separate
rooms with a fold out couch for the kids. At night I could lay in the
hot tub - stare at the stars - and listen to the waves...Again - great
room!
Note: I have seen several complaints about the rooms on this board -
the common theme with almost every complaint revolves around people
who stayed in the "standard" rooms.
These rooms are the "travel agency" package deal rooms and are located
in the old part of the resort – they are for the most part small and
plain. Stop whining – you get what you pay for – even in Mexico
Take my advice - pay a few extra dollars per day request a Jr Suite or
Studio room. These rooms are located in the exclusive side of the
resort – reserved for their members( time share owners).
Staff:
We found the staff to be very friendly and responsive to our requests.
The kids' club girls were great – they kept our 5 & 7 year olds busy
all day.
Food:
Mostly snack foods at the bars….
The buffet restaurant had different selections every day, which was
nice.
The private "Italian" restaurant was really nice - and right on the
ocean.
Overall I was real please with the food...
Bar
What can you say - free drinks!
Some people on this message board have complained about weak drinks -
the only thing I have to say is who cares - relax - you are on
vacation - just drink twice as much.
Pools:
Real nice - they have one adults only pool with a swim up bar... one
large tropical pools for all guests...And they have one private pool
just for the "Jr Suite, and Studio Room" guests.
Summary
1) Stay in a Suite or Studio room - not the standard rooms.
2) Find a member or a voucher - and save some bucks. (
www.reefclubresort.com )
3) Drink twice as much
You are on vacation.
