A boutique beachfront resort that fully embraces the beauty of its natural surroundings, The Reef Playacar is an exceptional illustration of the magnificence of the Riviera Maya. The exclusive gated community is a Caribbean wonderland for honeymooners thanks to prime access to a pristine white-sand beach and a terrific selection of land and watersports. Once the sun goes down, renowned live entertainment brings Playa del Carmen’s nightlife to you, and late-night bars and lounges provide the ideal ambiance for romantic moments. The resort is within walking distance (15 minutes) of downtown Playa del Carmen.
In addition to swim-up bars and chic lounges, you’ll be treated to fine dining options that are among Playa del Carmen’s best. Dine at Botticelli, savor grilled Mexican favorites at Terraza Grill, or take in sweeping Caribbean views at Chulavista. There’s even an outdoor ice cream parlor for sweet treats after luxuriating on the beach or in one of the resort’s two spacious pools. And if you’re looking for an unbelievably romantic experience, The Reef Playacar’s concierge will be pleased to book you a private dinner for two out on the beach.
Choosing among the resort’s 196 rooms is a breeze considering that they all feature conveniences, a bathroom, a plush king-size bed, and a private balcony or terrace for romantic sunrises and sunsets. The fabulous amenities don’t stop there, though. Drawing inspiration from Ometeotl, the Aztec’s god of creation, the unique Deluxe “Ome” Spa on site is a lavish experience waiting to be luxuriated in. Body treatments rise to the level of rituals thanks to the spa’s experienced rejuvenation therapists, and couples will be able to indulge in relaxing massages with Himalayan stones, Swedish deep tissue massages, and an array of facials and exfoliations.
The Reef Playacar is a dream oasis for destination weddings, with boutique wedding packages that can be customized with vibrant tropical flowers, delectable culinary dishes, and individual stylings. The resort also treats honeymooners staying for five nights or more to a complimentary honeymoon package that elevates the romantic experience to dreamlike status. Couples will enjoy a bottle of sparkling wine when they arrive, a guaranteed king-size bed, special room decorations, an exclusive gift, and a continental breakfast delivered to your suite on the morning of your choosing.
