It's the fourth time we rent an apartment at the Residencias Reef. We have been always very satisfied but this time a little bit less. On the other hand, the studio was fine but I would have appreciated a little more furniture (wine bottle opener, a better quality kitchen "furniture", two chairs on the balcony were broken, the mattress is not very comfortable). The hotel was very noisy this time and finally, music from two visitors was allowed on the beach which is very disturbing. It was little things that make our stay a little less enthusiastic. However, I should say that the studio was very clean and the manager very convenient. The area is wonderful and the workers always very polite. Thanks.

After about 13 hours of travel time (Taxi/Airplane/Taxi/Ferry/Taxi) we finally got to our destination, a nice studio with all the facility to cook our own meals. The studio is exactly what we were looking for. We had direct access to the beach and to 4 pools. The place is quiet with a nice landscape. The groceries and most of the restaurants are 15 Km away in San Miguel. We enjoyed the paved bicycle path around the Island, mainly used by scooters. We did a lot of snorkeling using our own gear in front of the residence and in other location close by. The weather was a bit cloudy and it rained a few times (nothing to bother us).

8 days was not enough. We will be back some day for much longer. Very clean and well decorated condo. Loved the ground floor for convenient access to pool and ocean. Internet was slow but once we used another wifi address we were fine. Could use sharper kitchen knives and nicer patio furniture but when you are having a great time those things are minor. Rented s car which we used everyday. Money Bar just north of condo was my favorite bar and restaurant. Will recommend to friends and family. We never met the manager.

Nice Beach

Ronald B. from Flower Mound, Texas recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in January, 2015
Overall our week stay in this condo was great. The beach area is beautiful - lots of sun and shade, and plenty of chairs. The 2 pools are nice as well. The condo had a nice kitchen, with upgraded appliances and granite counters. I suggest buying a few potholders. The bed is very hard, even with the foam pad. This condo is located close to the edge of the property - right next to Aura resort. If the resort has an event in the area close to the condo, it is extremely loud. On our first night - the party went until 1 am. Our last night it ended around 11 pm. If you are light sleepers, the noise is definitely a problem. There is a nice view from the patio area, but the only furniture is cheap plastic chairs. It would be nice to have comfortable chairs to relax outside.

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 10 days at RR 8170 on the beautiful island. The space was great, clean, comfortable and it's a quiet spot on the end. Alfredo was a great host -- so responsive and professional! Only wish was for screens (to let in the lovely air) on doors/window and more comfortable chairs/hammock to better use patio.

This was our first time staying at Residencias Reef, but we had heard only great things about it. We could not have been happier with the condo. It was very nice and clean. The whole property is quiet and peaceful. We loved having a kitchen and being able to buy groceries and cook our own meals, but still have the option of eating out as well. Can't wait to do it again!

Stayed for 7 days in August, 2014
Upon arriving at residential reef and seeing my room for the first time I thought it looked incredible. The room was the perfect size for one person and I had plenty of kitchenware while I was there. There was no washer and the dryer was broken which I found inconvenient since I packed only enough clothes for a few days and I feel it should be addressed. The maid service was very thorough in cleaning, the room was always spotless when I returned. However after I came back to my room one day after the maid had already been there i noticed that one of my pans was missing. While it was not a personal pan I don't want to be charged for the pan with the cost of my room.

Overall a nice unit.

Stayed for 11 days in July, 2014
We have stayed in quite a few of the residencias reef unit over the past 6-7 year, we also have friends who own here also. The unit 8170 is on the bottom floor making it easy access to the pool. It is not as we'll decorated as other units, the patio furniture was unusable (broken), I am a scuba diver and there were no accommodation for drying my gear, there was a sign on the patio stating absolutely nothing can be hung up on the paio although every other unit we have stayed in before had hooks or something to hang your gear on. The air conditioning worked well but was moldy and dirty, the laundry room doors were covered in lent. I would stay in this unit again only if other units were not available

Love it

I was surprised when getting to this unit that it was not arranged as it is in the pictures. The couch was not in front of the sliding door and was instead along a wall facing the bed. I'm sure that made it easier to go in and out of the door, but it was very inconvenient if more than one person wanted to sit and watch TV, or eat while sitting without being at the small bar in the kitchen. There were two Adirondack-style plastic chairs on the patio. One was broken and would sink very low. There was no table and the chairs were so low it was difficult to see over the railing. A nicer patio set would make a huge difference with the comfort of this place. The comforter was also not as pictured--it was old and worn and there were just two regular pillows on the bed. I stayed for three nights and the maid never changed the sheets. I feel like there should be a note about that since I would at least expect them to be changed every other night. The maid didn't come at the same time every day which was confusing. One day we were rushing to get out of her way based on when she'd come the prior day, but she didn't show up until sometime after we'd left.The location was nice and parking was always easy. Beach isn't great for snorkeling or swimming, but it's good to be able to get in the water so close to where you're staying. Would be great if they got more beach loungers. People would get up early and put their stuff on loungers they didn't use until later. Most of the ppl staying here were at least in their 60s so definitely an older crowd (we're in our 30s). If I went back I might try to get a different unit that's better decorated. But it was good to be on the first floor.

Wonderful stay! Will definately go again!

I really enjoyed my stay. The studio is perfect for one or two people. If you dive, you are 200ft from the pier where you can get picked up and dropped off. Very comfortable, clean, modern condo. Access to the pool is right out your patio door. They need new chairs outside for sure, but other than that no complaints. I would definitely stay again!

The stay was excellent. I would stay here again. Unit location was on the ground floor making it easy to walk to and from the pool/beach. Clean and comfortable. Only slight negatives: tv was somewhat small when watching from bed at night and many remote controls didn't work (fan, t.v volume/on and off). Batteries likely dead.

this was my second time staying in 8170. a great place, valued price, great location on the whole property. my last stay 2-23-13 found the need for a maintenance man to fix the out door fan,and change some overhead light bulbs. Would be nice if the owners would purchase a simple patio set to enhance the deck experience. the two plastic chairs on the deck are ready to collapse.

Nice place but needs new bedding (for TWO beds) and kitchenware

A guest from Nederland, CO recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in January, 2013
This is a very nice property in a great, meticulously cared for complex that has helpful staff and a fantastic beach. The unit is spacious for a studio, has nice cabinetry and counters and a giant bathroom. There is a tiny smidgen of an ocean view and the pool is just large enough for an actual swim workout. HOWEVER, there was the most meager of kitchenware, no glass glasses, totally beat scratched up fry pans, and the sheets and (one very thin) blanket were stained up and threadbare. Not to mention the fact that there are two beds but they only give you bedding for one. If you are two people that are not a couple then you have to sleep together anyway!! I complained and they brought us another set of sheets but no blanket or pillow! Lot of good that did us. In addition there is only the tiniest of hot water heaters so you run out of hot water every shower before you are done. They really need to put a bigger one in (and there is ample room for it in the same spot). If I returned I would bring my own sheets so as not to be completely grossed out by what they give you. Also, you get some noise from the raucous all-inclusive right next door only about thirty feet away (hollering, video game sounds, music that is not always good). My high overall rating has more to do with the complex than the actual unit, so maybe pick a different one at Residencias Reef as there are many rentals to choose from.

Fabulous location! The condo was as shown online; the kitchen was a nice feature. The condo was quite nice and very clean, but it could use a bit of freshening up. New bath linens would be welcome, as would a table and lounge chairs on patio. Javier, the rep from the rental agency, was awesome! He worked diligently to successfully address a problem with the wifi access, and brought in a repairman to fix a minor problem with the freezer--on what would have been his day off, no less. He checked back a couple of times during our stay to be sure that all was well. We would definitely stay here in the future.

Jeff B. from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in April, 2012
This is a very nice unit with very good appliances, excellent location, great new bed,and so forth. I have only two observations/cautions for other renters. First, the furniture. The room is replete with warnings that virtually everything (suntan lotion, wet bathing suits, etc.)will stain the sofa and chair, and that renters will be charged for a new sofa if they stain it. I have to wonder how appropriate such furniture is in a place where people go for a beach vacation. Second, there are only minimal cooking utensils, plates, bowls, and so forth. You won't be having your friends over from another unit for a meal, unless they bring their own things. These are not deal breakers by any means, but I have to admit that I became annoyed at tipsy-toeing around the sofa, especially since there were no extra towels or sheets to use to cover it. Otherwise, this is an attractive, spacious, ground floor suite in a fantastic place.

The hardest part was finding our Condo. Once we got there and met up with Raul it was pretty seamless. The router in our room didn't work but the internet was high speed. The cleaning services were great, the condo was fully furnished and all you need is your consumables. The staff around the property were very nice and even fed us coconuts. We had heard you would run out of things to do and see in just a couple of days on Cozumel and after ten days we needed another ten days for a vacation because there is to much to see and do in 2 weeks if you like to get out and be active. The beach was very quiet and close to our room and we were able to get to know our condo-mates and go deep sea fishing right off our condo shore. WE WILL BE BACK..... It is so much safer than you think coming from the states. The Island has there own security and armed services.

I could not be happier with my choice of staying here. I had completed hours upon hours of research of this place considering I had never been here. Not only was everything as they described, It was more.The moment I walked through the door, my face lit up with a smile. Extremely clean and not outdated. Everything worked and even a few extra "BONUS" amenities were added that was not in the room description (wifi & safe). Bathroom was a concern considering no pics to evaluate prior to coming but was immediately satisfied as I walked into the bathroom having tile floors, double vanity, clean toilet, clean shower, and rather large & colorful. Bed is firm but surprisingly good. With all the outdoor fun in the day, I slept like a baby and woke up refreshed with no back pain.The cleaning service was incredible! Trustworthy and timely every day except Sunday.The property is more than what you see in the pics. Beautiful trees have developed, no construction anywhere, beaches are raked clean daily, pool is stunning, and the sun sets directly over it! Even the fact that this building is more in the back of the property, I assure you, I walked off the balcony and not more than 100 steps and my toes were in the sand. Yes, the beach is that close. Do not be fooled by the picture off the balcony.I definitely wanted a place outside of town for peace and I love to cook (Kitchen has Everything for large meal planning!!!) so this was the perfect fit. If you like dining out more often make sure to rent a car. Since I cooked, I didn't need the car. A taxi took me to the MEGA food store that did in fact have everything I needed. One big shopping trip did the trick for me.If your here for diving, I strongly recommend Scuba Tony. He is very passionate about diving, outstanding service, super friendly, reasonable rates, and he will pick you up from the pier next door.This place was great and I will be returning!Safe &

We were very, very pleased with our stay. Especially since we booked just one day before arriving. Residencias Reef is beautifully set up, maintained and quiet. The only glitch was at check in when the security people did not have us on the roster which led to about a ten minute wait. Not bad and probably caused by late booking. Would definetly recommend to anyone wanting a very quiet place to spend time in a well maintained place. If they were wanting to spend alot of time in town this might not be the place as taxi fare could eat up some vacation money.Overall an excellent short vacation for us.

We loved our stay at Residencias Reef #8170

Dylan K. from Bayside, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in December, 2011
We loved Cozumel in general and Residencias Reef 8170 in particular -- it is away from the bustle in San Miguel (which means a newer pre-reserved rental car from a reputable company is highly recommended, as the taxi service is $15/$150mx to San Miguel one way, and service to the rest of the island is limited). Fail to reserve in advance, and you are likely to get a lousy older car at high prices.RR #8170 does not have much of an ocean view, but one of the pools has a dynamite view, and is away from most of the condos, and at least while we were there, few people were using it. The beach is a very quick walk (beach front for one of the condo buildings) and adequate snorkeling is possible there if ocean conditions are calm, though boat and jet ski traffic limits how far you can go out away from the beach. We saw many types of fish, along with spiny lobsters and some conchs, but better snorkeling can be found elsewhere. The roof was free of any odors (many hotels and resorts rooms smell like mold from the humid environment) and very clean.We loved the freshwater "dunk tank" for snorkeling/scuba gear next to the outdoor shower -- a brilliant idea.The "swamp" may not appeal to some -- it looked to be designed to help filter the stormwater and graywater rather than dumping directly into the ocean like most resorts, but we loved it, as the bridge / walkways were very scenic and pretty, and we saw several birds resting there, along with the ubiquitous geckos and iguanas. Luis and Raul were available by phone for questions or concerns, but don't expect the gate guards to speak English well or be able to help much with the room. We loved RR and will likely stay again the next time we come to Cozumel, or else a private house or smaller condo.

We had a very good two week stay at Residencias Reef. We were very impressed with the grounds and the swimming pools. Lovely! Our maid service was terrific. The unit was clean and comfortable and in a very convenient location. Everything worked well except for the air conditioning unit. It was very loud and disruptive, so we hardly ever used it. We didn't see our agent from At Home in Cozumel until we'd been there about a week, so I would suggest that he should check in much earlier with guests.

We would book here again in a second but there were a couple of concerns. The insects were brutal. My wife and I both were chewed up. I don't beleive that they spray. If you sleep on your back or like a hard mattress, you will love the bed. If not, I would ask for an extra foam pad. Our so called property manager was nowhere to be found. Saw him on the second day and nothing after. we had a couple of small issues that were handled right away. The maid was great! I could have done without the information provided in the book regarding how you should tip basically everyone $2 per person per day. Location was great. Very clean and well kept. They must really love their couch a lot because there were multiple warnings about not staining or damaging it or you will be charged. Furnishings were basic but fine.

We were greeted by Javier - he was amazing, and gave us some wonderful advice and suggestions, many that we took! The furniture, size of apartment was great. The bed was very dirty, the sheets had dirt on them and the pillow case had an old blood stain on it. Not to mention that the bed was uncomfortable. Also the condo could have used some new dishes - there were only two of us, and almost everything was chipped. This was unfortunate because it could have been a perfect place to stay. We would return if they totally stepped up their cleaning standards and made it more comfortable. Again - thanks to Javier! Also the location was great - we had an amazing snorkeling trip, we booked right there along the beach! Love Cozumel!!!

The only negative comments I have about our stay is that we were approached by staff 2 times wanting to know what room we were in and what our name was, I assumed that when we went thru the security gate when we arrived they would inform all of the staff we were there, was somewhat embarrassing when we were approached on the beach and then again at the pool. I would recommend you have your entire staff made aware who checks in. Also the washing machine leaked 3 times and there was water all over the floor, we told our house mgr about it, kept leaking, we cleaned it up 3 times, I finally called the Homes in Cozumel office and the Manager took care of it.

Cant wait to go back to condo 8170. The place and grounds were kept in excellent shape. We cooked a couple of meals and made coffee in the kitchen and found it very funtional. there is a roof top patio that is not mentioned that is beautiful for cocktails in the evening. I dove with the Blue Angels dive shop, and they picked me up at the Wyndams dock, a 200 meter walk. The staff and grounds keepers were very friendly and helpful. the Beach, and pool were never crowded, and it was the start of spring break! the beach has rocks as it enters the water for a few meters,if your fussy bring water shoes or Tevas. Its a short walk to other beach clubs for lunch if you like. We rented a car to Explore the island and get groceries. Theres great snorkeling spots just north of the Wyndam on the beach front road.

Beatiful setting on the sea, the water was warm and clear, my daughter had a blast snorkeling and I had no worries as the water was shallow and no current or waves. 2 pools were very nice, great for kids. The beach was nice, however reef shoes would be recommended as there are some rocks. Great shell hunting. A short walk to Carlos and Charlies down the beach, but drinks were expensive. Condo had a full kitchen, so shopping in town for groceries saved a ton of money, nice clean Mega Foods in town. Taxi cost about $15 to town. I recommend converting your dollars to pesos, as locals are not accurate for the conversion and you tend to get overcharged. Great Scuba and snorkeling, boat picks you up right your pier on your beach, very convienient. Big lizards hang out near the grass, kids loved them. Downside was bed not very comfortable. Great place and would highly recommend for a family or a couple.

We stayed for a week at RR 8170 and loved the complex. There are two nice pools and a beautiful beach. The unit itself was in great condition but had some fixable problems. The bed is very small. It's a double bed. In most cases, if there's only one bed in a unit, you expect at least a queen if not a king. It's also very hard. Both my husband and I had back pain by night 2. Also, the hot water tank is WAY too small. We were unable to complete a single hot 5 minute shower without it running out. If these two problems were fixed, RR 8170 would be a five star unit that we'd happily return to. Everything else about it is top notch.

Overall, we had a great stay. Aside from a ceiling fan that didn't work and radom bouts of difficulty making local calls, our stay was pleasant. The couch bed wasn't very comfortable, but I haven't ever slept on one that was. The area grocery store wasn't that close, but it did have the basic needs,which helped us get through breakfast and snacks. Eating out next door at Aura was expensive and not worth the money. Aura does have nice ambiance, but annoying music. This is a boring place for teenage children. Thank goodness for the beach clubs ($$$). This location offers tranquility, which is much better suited for older couples.

Loved it!

The Residencias Reef is a beautiful Property. Unit 8170 was perfect for just the two of us. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. First of all, it has a georgous bathroom. We were not sure it even had a bathroom from the website. The unit is on the ground floor with a nice patio that steps down to the beautifully landscaped grounds. Both lovely pools are just feet away. You can see the wonderful beach and the tourqoise sea, through a forest of majestic palms. The photos on the website need to be updated! We had the best vacation, yet. We will most definitly stay here again.

Great place! Very beautiful accommodations and location right on the beach. Very quiet as there were few other tenants. However, next door at Wyndham they were partying all day and into the night. Had the pool to ourselves on several occasions. Only disappointment was the quality of snorkeling off of beach and very warm water. Loved the ability to cook own meals and great maid service. Had the most fun at the Chaudraui grocery store! Also, really enjoyed the parks, particularly the Punta Sur with great snorkelling... saw a huge sea turtle! Got my boyfriend to experience Discovery Dive and highly recommend Mario at Studio Blue Dive Shop. Overall, great experience and would truly love to own a condo at Residencias Reef. Will return!

Good Time

This place was clean, quiet and had a well outfitted kitchen. There was plenty to see and do.

Perfect Studio

This studio was very nice. Had everything we could ever need except for a hair dryer and clock by the bed. Staff was very friendly. It was very peaceful. I think most people go sight seeing for the day, so there weren't many people at the pool or the beach. Sometimes we had it all to ourselves. If you want a party atmosphere, all you have to do is walk down the beach a bit and you are at Carlos N Charlies or the San Francisco public beach with food and drinks. Awesome value.

Property Manager Response:
Glad you liked the place so much. It really does offer so much for so little.

We're glad you would recommend Residiencias Reef 8170 to others. But a little distressed that our manager got only a "2". If you care to, could you please contact us? We always are trying to make our places better.

The whole stay was exactly what we were looking for. the only thing that wasn't great was the grocery delivery, we only got some of What we ordered, the things that were not in the room we did see in the grocery store(not sure why they did not get them for us)

From our first phone call to inquire about the property to driving out the gate to leave, everyone was polite and helpful. The condo we stayed in (8170) was a studio but absolutely perfect for us. Having a kitchen was wonderful...we bought drinks and snacks to keep in the room which was nice. The property is beautiful and the staff is amazing, always working so hard to keep it clean and to make sure you have a great place to stay. We will definitely stay here on our next trip.

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Cozumel, especially where we stayed. Our little studio was a one minute walk to the beach. Everything was quiet and peaceful at the resort and if you wanted a little more excitement and adventure, you could walk down the beach and go jet skiing, snorkeling, etc. The resort isn't in the hustle and bustle of the city, as it is about five minutes out of town but thats what we loved so much about it. The staff is infinately helpful and there are always taxis available any time of the day or night. We had a wonderful time and would suggest this resort to anyone!

great rental

My rental was great value for the money at $90/night for ten nights. It wasn't too convenient requiring a taxi, car rental or scooter from town. However the unit was in great condition, nicely appointed and I enjoyed my stay.
