The Reef Resorts operate under the Leading Vacation Club program across multiple properties in Playa del Carmen. While each resort offers a distinct experience—from the family-friendly jungle-like setting of Playacar to the adults-only urban chic of The Reef 28—a common thread runs through guest feedback: aggressive timeshare sales tactics that often overshadow the properties' genuine attractions.
One of the most recurring issues across all Reef properties involves the cancellation period. Mexican law grants buyers a five-day grace period to cancel a timeshare contract; however, numerous complainants state this right is never mentioned during sales presentations. Some sales representatives have even claimed there is no grace period at all—only for buyers to discover after returning home that they had five days to cancel, a period that had already elapsed. Sales staff have also been known to assert that "Saturday" counts as a business day in Mexico, which is not accurate under relevant consumer protection laws.
Another common complaint relates to trade-in promises. Salespeople frequently offer to "trade in" a buyer's existing timeshare, referring them to a resale or rental company to sell their old timeshare to help pay off the new purchase. In practice, these third-party companies often fail to deliver any results, leaving the consumer stuck with multiple timeshare memberships.
The Reef Resorts do not have a Better Business Bureau page, nor does the Leading Vacation Club. Trustpilot ratings for The Reef Resorts reflect a mixed reputation, and aggregate scores on platforms like Yelp (2.5 stars) for The Reef Playacar include numerous 1- and 2-star reviews.

¡¡¡¡it's so important to just ignore them or say, "no thanks" and walk away!!!!
we own two timeshares, but the truth is that we can't pay them anymore.. the fees are to high now! we need to cancel
I tried for weeks to find out if there was any truth to this company. There is not. They are scam artists who prey upon people who have a need.
is there any way to get our deposit money back or have we lost it?
My biggest concern in this matter is my credit. I don't want to give them another penny yet if I don't they'll ruin my credit!
I have a $15, 000.00 collection account on my credit report from these thief liars!
he tenido que pagar por absolutamente todo, no puedo seguir pagando por cosas que nisiquiera tienen explicacion, solo quieren sacar dinero..
Somos otros de los muchos afectados por esta compañía que nos vendió un programa vacacional y nunca dieron la cara
la lista de personas defraudadas crece cada año y la PROFECO no hace nada ni siquiera una advertencia.
i'll have to admit timeshare companies are the biggest of thieves :S
