LaShelle2 Posted September 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm just back from Progreso, and I loved the Reef Resort! The beach, grounds, and pool were beautifully maintained and clean. We were waited on hand and foot by servers that had a constant flow of drinks from the open bar. Our cups never went dry. Lunch was just ok, but a decent meal. It included ribs, hot dogs, burger sliders, fajitas, taquitos, empenadas, and nachos. There was also a toppings bar. The only negative I can think of was the bus ride. The tour guide talked constantly round trip. The ride was pretty long, so we only had about 2 hours to shop at the port. There are no taxis at the resort. It's in a very remote area. I would imagine getting private transportation here would be extremely expensive. There were no annoying sales vendors, and no other resorts nearby. It was very secure. I will be glad to answer any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaShelle2 Posted September 16, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Make sure you book the "all inclusive beach break" with Carnival. It's 79. There is another beach break that takes you to Technotel. We used the price match gurantee on Carnival website and only paid 45. IMO, it's worth the 79 just for the drinks and transportation. Also wanted to mention that our bus was the only people at the entire resort. It was not crowded. They also have towels for you and free wifi.

LaShelle2 Posted September 16, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted September 16, 2017 This excursion sold out, so book it in advance. It did not seem kid friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted September 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2017 You had me until not kid friendly! [emoji20] I wonder if Technotel is better for kids.

StrikeEagle Posted September 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks LaShelle2, we are going to be there in the Thanksgiving week. Do you know if the pool is heated ? Also how is the quality of the ocean water there? I heard the water in Progreso is murky/cloudy Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaShelle2 Posted September 20, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thanks LaShelle2, we are going to be there in the Thanksgiving week. Do you know if the pool is heated ? Also how is the quality of the ocean water there? I heard the water in Progreso is murky/cloudy Thanks I'm not sure if the pool is heated. You can email the resort and ask. The water was a beautiful pale aqua but not clear enough for snorkeling. They keep the beach clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hassellcastle Posted October 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 11, 2017 We're wanting to do Reef Club and from what I'm reading you have to book through Carnival. How do you get them to honor price matching as the day pass is available directly through Reef Club for $36 USD after peso conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WomanWillSail Posted October 11, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The beaches are never as nice as at Cozumel because Progreso is on the Gulf of Mexico and Coz is in the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pezie Posted November 3, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Kids are allowed. There just weren't many there. I'm not sure why. I wouldn't recommend it for children. Would you mind explaining why you don’t recommend for children? They would be bored?? Rowdy atmosphere??

Purvis1231 Posted November 5, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 5, 2017 We were at the reef Club last Thanksgiving- the pool was not heat. It was usually cool at the time of our visit so the pool was cold but many people enjoyed it. There were a lot of kids there and it was not too rowdy.

alternative_kid Posted January 3, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Can you provide any info on how the price match guarantee worked? Did you have to first book through carnival then show them the pricing from some other website? I see reference to the rates under packages on Reef's website. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks! Make sure you book the "all inclusive beach break" with Carnival. It's 79. There is another beach break that takes you to Technotel. We used the price match gurantee on Carnival website and only paid 45. IMO, it's worth the 79 just for the drinks and transportation.
