Spent a week in this condo. Location is the best, right on the beach.
It was an ideal place for me and my 2 babies. We had the beach just opening the back door, a nice pool, a super handy kitchen, everything to feel at home but in such a beautiful place. TV didn't work because of the rain and cd player was broken, so while it rained it was a bit boring inside, but the cleaning lady was very nice to report it and make us feel welcome. I would definitely return to that condo.
Loved the condo! Right on the beach...,close to pool, very quiet. Great spa at hotel next door. Do rent a car as it's a ways out of town. Loved the shade on the beach! So nice to have a kitchen and especially washer dryer!
Beds were a bit hard.
We love Cozumel and we loved this condo! The condo was very pretty and very clean. The king size bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was plenty big for the 2 of us, the kitchen was very nice with fresh bottled water, dishes, cups, and pots and pans supplied. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. The pool area was very clean and the chairs were very comfy too. When you step off the back porch of the condo you are less than a minute from the beach and the pool area. It was very quiet and peaceful and felt very safe with plenty of outside lighting at night. Which reminds me, the view of the sunset is incredible! If I had to complain about anything it would be that there are no restaurants within walking distance after around 5pm and that there are a lot of rocks to walk over to get into the ocean in front of the condo, but if you don't care to walk a little to the right or left you can easily find a sandy entrance and some great snorkelling! 'Dive Palancar' is the name of the place we went through to go scuba diving (nicest bunch of guys you will ever meet) and it too was less then a minute from the condo. We loved it so much that we are already planning to rent this same condo again next year. Oh, a little warning, if you rent a car in Cozumel... The car rental place will automatically hold 686.00 or more of your funds on your debit/credit card ( unless you're willing to pay, I think it was 112.00 a day for full coverage insurance). We were never told to expect this when we rented the car. We also talked to other couples that had this happened to them too, and they rented from different rental companies, so just be prepared to have at least 686.00 of your funds unavailable until you return the car. Good news is, when we returned the car the 686.00 charge came off and the regular price of the rental was all that was deducted from our account. I'm sure if we had done our homework before leaving for vacation, we would have known to expect the
Our 3rd time staying here. Safe, quiet and relaxing away from the hustle bustle of San Miguel, but close enough to go into town for dinner. The dive boat picked us up at the pier adjacent to the property. The only downfall is that there are no stores or restaurants open in the evening for miles. Also this unit did not have a phone or WIFI like the other units we have stayed in. The unit was spotless and beautiful.
I enjoyed the quiet accomadations,sunsets, scuba diving, snorkiling, walks on the beach, the town & the walk around the neighborhood. I felt very safe the whole trip. I was able to take the ferry to playa without much effort. I enjoyed the trip a great deal & I am already trying to figure out a way to get back. Thanks
We highly recommend this property for anyone that is looking for a stay in pure paradise. Quiet, clean, absolutely beautiful sunsets. If I had to complain about something it would be...well.... nothing.
My family and I were very pleased with the accommodations. I feel they were accurately depicted in the pictures and description. Unlike some of the nearby all-inclusive resorts, Residencias Reefs was serene and relaxing, though I can't vouch for what it's like during spring break. Two important issues: 1)There are no stores or restaurants nearby. If you want to go into town with any frequency you may want to rent a car. Cab fare for 2 round trip is about $30. 2) The beach right in front of the complex is rocky, so if you want to swim you have to walk at least 10-15 minutes toward San Francisco Beach Club.
Our trip to Cozumel will stand out in my memory for a long time. Residencias Reef was a very quiet, peaceful, relaxing experience. Everything was so easy to arrange. Cozumel is just the right size to explore~~not too big, not too small. I would recommend visiting the island and Residencias Reef to anyone wanting to get away from it all.
Bedding was a little rough (polyester-type bedspread, scratchy sheets, no mattress pad at all) and furniture was not great but who cares -- the location was wonderful and views were spectacular. Also very good value, considering. But you definitely need a car staying here. Resort next door is all-inclusive and no outside guests allowed at restaurants (incorrect info in site description).
