An Adults-Only Luxury

If you are planning a trip to Playa del Carmen and searching for a boutique adults-only hotel with rooftop luxury, gourmet dining, and a central location, The Reef 28 is an excellent choice. This all-suites property offers a mix of sophistication, comfort, and convenience—perfect for couples, groups of friends, or anyone who wants a stylish Caribbean escape.

Where is The Reef 28 located?

The Reef 28 is located in downtown Playa del Carmen, just one block from the beach and steps away from 5th Avenue. This means you can easily walk to the sand, shop at local boutiques, and explore the vibrant nightlife— all without needing a car.

Many travelers ask about the distance from Cancun Airport. The transfer from Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen takes between 50 minutes and 1 hour, depending on traffic. Private transfers are the fastest and most comfortable option, especially if you are arriving with luggage.

At Odigoo, we can arrange a direct transfer from Cancun Airport to The Reef 28 so you start your trip stress-free.

What makes The Reef 28 special?

This property is a boutique, adults-only resort designed for guests over 18 years old. Unlike large all-inclusive resorts, The Reef 28 feels more intimate. The focus is on personalized service, stylish design, and luxury amenities that enhance your vacation.

The Reef 28 combines beauty, action, fun, wellness, and adventure in one place. You are minutes away from the second-largest coral reef in the world, and just steps from Playa’s cultural and entertainment hub.

The highlight is its rooftop: The Roof 28 offers panoramic ocean views, a sparkling pool, upbeat music, and handcrafted cocktails. It’s the perfect spot to start your morning with a sunrise or end the day with an unforgettable sunset.

Exploring Playa del Carmen

Choosing a hotel isn’t only about the property itself—it’s also about the destination. Playa del Carmen has become one of Mexico’s most popular beach towns for good reason.

There are many things to do in Playa del Carmen, from Caribbean beaches, Mayan history to vibrant nightlife, and easy access to tours. Here are some highlights to explore while staying at The Reef 28:

  • Mamitas Beach Club. One of the most famous beaches, just a short walk from the hotel.
  • 5th Avenue (La Quinta Avenida). A pedestrian street filled with shops, bars, restaurants, and local culture.
  • Ferry to Cozumel. Playa del Carmen is the departure point for ferries to Cozumel, one of the world’s best spots for diving and snorkeling.
  • Day Trips. From Playa del Carmen, you can visit cenotes, Chichén Itzá, Tulum, or the eco-parks like Xcaret and Xel-Há.

The distance from Playa del Carmen to Tulum is about 65 km, which takes roughly 1 hour by car. Odigoo can help arrange tours and transfers so you can see more of the Riviera Maya without the stress of planning.
