just returned from a 10 day, 11 nights trip to the Reef Club . This was our third year in a row and certainly one of the most relazing.

Before going I did some research on the web and found a site that sells reef Club points, weeks, and discount vouchers. Basicly - if you have a voucher you can book a room at the members rates...typicaly around $10.00 or $20.00 per night. I bought my voucher - made my reservation - and saved over $600.00


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). 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. Last year we did not know that vouchers even existed - so we paid full price. This year I purchased a voucher from the web site www.reefclubresort.com and saved a bunch.

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. '
