We stayed two weeks and had some great weather, except for a couple windy days. Wide and level gravel sites, shared electric/water hookups. Two laundromats were open all hours. The beach is wide and clean, but the swimming area is rocky bottom. Some local vendors walk the beach, but aren't annoying. Loud music on weekends coming from a bar 1/2 block away was tolerable. Restaurants, Pemex gas, markets, banks and the Malecon are all within a ten minute drive. Wi-Fi had a good, fast signal. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park right on the beach. Walking distance to restaurants. Spaces side by side and back to back. Shared hookups. Limited big rig sites. In "free zone", no papers needed except Mexican auto insurance. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It is true. If you have to cancel your reservation for any reason you will not get your deposit back. We booked a week and had to cancel the reservation with the understanding we would not receive all of the deposit. We canceled 2/14/2009 and still do not have the amount owed to us. When you email them you get the same response that your email has been forwarded to our accounting department. Warning! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Warning! We paid a full deposit way back in June/08 for the month of February /09. Regrettably, due to poor health, we had to cancel in November /08. It is now February / 08 and we have yet to receive the refund. Same thing happened with my brother-in law. We are getting the run-around enquiring. The email site claims they have turned it over to the accounting department but will not put us in touch with them... Stay tuned... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here over the Halloween Weekend. Rates increased for the "holiday" The park has gone down in cleanliness over the years. The trash was never picked up while we were here. The flies were horrible. Too bad, it was a nice place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The best part about The Reef is the fantastic restaurant located on-site - truly a wonderful experience. About the RV Park...we had to have access to Internet due to illness in the family, then when we got there were told the server was pulled "months ago". Even though the kid behind the front desk was playing video games on the office Internet machine, we were not allowed to even check e-mail on it. We had to leave early because of this, and were told we could not even have a partial refund for nights not stayed (the place was empty). If you like aggressive beach vendors, dust, and a "it's not our problem" attitude, you'll love your stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was clean and many spaces were available. WiFi was not available during our visit. The sites are large and have easy access. We have been here the last 3 years and it's much better than the more congested parks in town. The rate was $35 per day for ocean sites and $25 for others. The showers and restrooms were new last year and were clean with great water pressure. They also have a laundry. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beach front sites are around $30; interior sites are $20. This is a large parking lot-type park. The attraction is full 50 amp hookups right on the beach. Wi-Fi is very slow and $4/day. Sites are enormous, but the beach front sites have their hookups on the beach end of each site. That's great in a trailer, but in a motor home it's a very long reach to the connections. We always spend our time dry camping on the adjacent beach for $5/day then coming to The Reef once a week to pay $7 for a dump and fill. This park is about a 10 minute drive from town, but not nearly as congested as the parks in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
