Terrible! I arrived at 9:30pm. I was told the condo had air con. The master bedroom with great views had a large fan on a table to cool the room. According to the management company the owner was aware that it would take 2-3 days to fix. It was rented knowing this was a problem. I sleep poorly in a warm room. No air-con so I had to sleep in this dinky guest bedroom. The bathroom had no toilet paper, towels nor soap. The guest bedroom was tiny, there was only 3" between the bed & wall on one side & a small end table on the other side. If I walked across the bottom of the bed, I had to step sideways to get through. And the advertised garden view was 2 palm trees & a parking lot.
The amenity for the master bath consisted of a small can of Raid & a junky bottle of soap scrub about 90% empty. Shampoo, Conditioner and facial tissue seemed to be a luxury. No broom closet so the mop and broom just laid against the wall. Last two days no internet. And there is so much more. I have photographs if anyone doubts me.
I contacted the owner. He claimed innocence and said he would have the maintenance people come and fix the a/c. That was the last I heard from anyone. I asked for a discount or a refund and I would leave immediately. He said, “work with me”. I got t.p. the next day. I never got the towels.
The only spice was salt. Not even pepper or sugar, A broken paper towel dispenser with a small amount of paper left. Black mold on the ceiling, More but out of space.

I loved staying Carribean Reef Condo! It was so peaceful with the lovely sound of the ocean waves! Management was very friendly and responsive. Condo was well appointed. We had everything we needed. Shower is great! Hot water and great water pressure! Pool is beautiful with plenty of seating. We would recommend and rebook in the future.

The pool is fantastic, however the unit needs updating and items replaced or just purchased for renters. Pillows are 20 years old, black mold in the main bath on the ceiling, no spatula in the kitchen or other cooking utensils, patio furniture is rusted and broken and makes a mess everywhere, blender was from the 1960’s and shocked us, no spices or anything, the cutting board needs to go into the trash as it is horrible, one shower towel and only one pool towel provided but the site manager Arlene can do laundry for you for 100 pesos a load, Arlene is fabulous !! Very helpful. We walked through some other units for rent when we met people and many others are updated and provide so many amenities for the same price we paid. This unit should be much cheaper. Also, 31 stairs to get to the unit as it is on the 3rd floor not 2nd. Living room furniture is way too big for the space and primary bedroom bed was so high I had to jump to get on it. I’m 5’2”. If we were to come again we would not stay here again. Parking is available at no charge and Playa Leopard next door has fabulous food. You can also get more water for the water jug for 30 pesos from Arlene.

You just couldn't beat the magnificent views of and proximity to the ocean! The sounds of the ocean all day and night were so calming and wonderful to hear. Also the very large infinity pool and well kept grounds were a real plus. Arlene, the property manager, and her crew were so welcoming and helpful. We very much enjoyed our peaceful and restful stay in this villa.

Beautiful place, check in on Sunday was a little confusing.

Nicely maintained, in an excellent vacation. If you want a relaxing stay at the beach this is a good choice. Away from the hustle of Cancun. You will need transportation, or call a taxi whenever you want to go into town. But the peace and quiet is worth it.

Carribean Reef Villas is a very nice property with an excellent pool and kept up very well. Our Condo was very nice and the view was fantastic. We had a couple of issues but nothing that ruined our stay. The living room AC wasn't working and wasn't able to be repaired during our stay, at least the bedrooms were comfortable. The bathroom leak that had occurred previously as reported in an early post was fixed but the ceiling never repaired. Cardboard stapled to the ceiling was a little unnerving at first but it didn't bother us after the initial shock. The owner did give a heads up to this but not until we checked in.
Overall a very nice place and a great trip.

I reserved this place as a 20th Anniversary surprise for my wife. Super excited!!!
Having been to Touristy Mexico several times. I was stoked about the idea of a quiet sleepy town like Puerto Morelos. Nice Condo, beautiful beach, great pool, talk of wildlife in the water, nice times on the beach and the clear waters of the Caribbean Ocean that are represented in the pictures for this and other properties for the Caribbean Reefs Villas.
Not the case. We arrived at the Caribbean Reefs Villas and were appalled at the state of the property.
The instant we entered the property there was the overwhelming smell of mold and/or mildew. My wife instantly had an allergic/respiratory issue.
Arlene, Property Manager, very sweet, turned on the A/C, I believe to circulate the air and dissuade us from noticing the smell.
She gave us a tour of the property. It was not a large property, pretty small, pictures make it look more spacious than what it is, however, perfect for what I was looking for.
She took us to the balcony to look out at what was supposed to be the gorgeous view. It was a major disappointment.
We opened the sliding door and were hit with another terrible smell. Some kind of dead animal or rotting vegetation. There was 30 feet worth of rotting seaweed on the beach and who knows how much waiting to come in, I estimate at least another 30 feet, more than likely 50 feet in the Ocean. I took a picture, I cannot upload it.
We asked Arlene about the seaweed and she stated that it would not be cleaned up until Martes/Tuesday. We both exclaimed, "Martes?!"
Arlene shrugged her shoulders and stated, "That's Puerto Morelos!" Not meanly, she was very nice. She left.
It was Friday and I felt it was unacceptable to have to deal with this horrendous smell and lack of beach/ocean access for 5 days.
I could not get a hold of Karl, the owner.
Worried our Vacation would be ruined. I found a property in Cancun, through VRBO, contacted Arlene to get us a Taxi.
Beaches at Cancun property cleared daily.
I have tried to get a refund from the owner Karl. He has repeatedly tried to convince me that Arlene was wrong about the clean up time and said he was there the day before and that there wasn't any mold or a dirty beach. Not true!
I will send my pictures to if needed.
I should have been wary when someone mentions a water leak in the ceiling, mold. Benefit of the doubt. He also tries to get you to sign a rental agreement to avoid the VRBO fees.

Prior to arrival Karl was easy to contact and quick to respond to emails and answer questions. Upon arrival, the condo was all we hoped it would be and more. After using Canada Transfers from the airport (highly recommend), we arrived quite late at night and thankfully managed to get into the condo easily with the code Karl had supplied. The condo itself was spacious and clean and the views from both the balcony and master bedroom were nothing short of spectacular. Our mornings were spent drinking coffee on the balcony while enjoying the warm breeze and beautiful Caribbean. Each day our little "visitor" (a sweet bird ) would greet us hoping for a crumb or 2. Inside the unit the furniture was comfortable with a spacious dining table for 6 as well as very comfortable balcony furniture which we took advantage of daily. The master bedroom has a very firm king sized bed which we both loved and there are various shelves and ample closet space to accommodate your clothing. As well, there was a futon sofa/mattress which was comfortable and could easily sleep another adult (or 2 children) . We did not make use of the 2nd bedroom but noted it also had a large bed, lots of dresser space and an ensuite bathroom. The kitchen had plenty of space in which to maneuver and was well stocked with all the necessities including a corkscrew for the wine 👍😉. The living room had a sofa, love seat, and a TV for viewing DVDs only. The wifi worked well and Arlene was readily available to answer any of our questions as was Fernando for any maintenance issues (we had none). The condo development is nicely kept with beautiful foliage and plants throughout the premises. The pool is ridiculously large (in a good way) with ample chairs and umbrellas. Caribbean Reef Villas is located a pleasant 15 minute walk to the town which we enjoyed doing daily. We felt safe the entire time and did not feel the need to take a taxi with the exception of the day we grocery shopped. The town of Puerto Morelos itself is charming with multiple amazing eating establishments and little booths with locals selling their goods. We loved the town, the people and the laid back vibe of Puerto Morelos and definitely hope to be back one day. Karl's unit is perfectly situated for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. The pictures on the website are an accurate depiction of the unit and the property. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway to a beautiful part of Mexico, I would highly recommend Karl's unit.

This is a great apartment with wonderful views. My group enjoyed their stay. We had quite a issue with the ceiling leaking in the bathroom so had to keep towels on the floor to soak it up. Arlene was always available and she tried her best to help. Sounds like the ceiling will be repaired soon so it is probably not going to affect anyone else. The pool area is wonderful and we loved walking into town.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Karl's unit and everything was as described in the listing. It is a convenient walk into Puerto Morelos, which has numerous shops and restaurants (we didn't have a bad meal our entire stay) and is much more laid back than the hustle and bustle of Cancun. We often had the pool to ourselves and snorkeled right off the beach a number of times observing a multitude of tropical fish, rays, starfish and conch shells. Additionally, the location of the condo is a convenient launch point for day trips to the Mayan ruins, cenotes and other attractions in the area. All around, a great experience.

Our stay in Puerto Morelos was wonderful, and the condo was perfect. It was clean, comfortable and well accommodated. Arlene was always close by and helpful with any questions. The entire staff at Caribbean Reef was always helpful. The owner, Karl, replied to our emails very timely and ensured we were well taken care of.
Every restaurant we ate at in town was incredible, I could not pick a favorite. We went diving and snorkeling with Diverspoint who I would highly recommend.

Karl’s unit is on the outskirts of a wonderful city that has an authentic vibe, great restaurants, a free access public beach with incredible snorkeling. The unit is spacious with a fantastic sunrise view void of the artificial all inclusive experience. Terrific support from the property management team who were very responsive

Karl's condo and the entire complex is beautiful. The infinity pool was cool, refreshing and quiet most days and new beach loungers were lovely and comfortable to relax by the pool or the ocean. The beach is maintained from seaweed the best a man, a rake and wheelbarrows can do. The views from the well appointed balcony are stunning. The condo comes perfectly furnished as described in the listing. The mattresses in the bedrooms were nice and firm which was excellent for our taste. Air conditioning worked perfectly and the condo gets lovely breezes from the ocean. The walk to town is perfect for meals and a taxi can be easy acquired for about $50 peso. You can walk miles along the beach to the Marina and likely past that if you wish. The wifi in the condo worked perfectly for streaming netflix for 7 of the 9 days of our vacation. The other 2 days there was no wifi available. Just preplan for these types of events for contact purposes home. Arlene and the crew at Caribbean Reef Villas were easy to contact by email or on site for any items or assistance needed. Karl was a breeze to communicate with and being a first time booker, I appreciated the quick and efficient information. Some must do tips while staying at the condo: We booked our transfers from the airport to the condo with Canada Transfers and found it simple and efficient with a pre-planned stop at the super chedraui. We also booked Chef Marco and Dona Sonia to cook for us in the condo the first night of our stay which set the tone for a relaxing vacation. Book Karl's condo now.

This location and property leaves nothing to be desired. Our group comprised of two couples.
The pool was pristine and refreshing, the beach was cleaned each morning, Arlene made sure everything was as it should be and was attentive and helpful.
One feature that stands out at this property is the large balcony and COMFORTABLE balcony furniture. Two wicker swivel rockers with generous cushions and a wicker couch with cushions that seats three, everyone gets a nice comfortable seat as they watch the cruise ships, fishing boats, birds as they dive for fish, and the sun rises.
Lots of places to eat and lots to see around the town square which is a 20 minute walk, quick trip in the car, or a short trip on a bike.
5.0
Perfect location for a family getaway. The property was just as described and met all expectations. Short walk to town and staff on site were very helpful. Unit had all essentials including; nicely supplied kitchen, plenty of linens and bottled water delivered when needed. Owner was one of the best VRBO owners that I have ever dealt with...excellent communication, helpful travel hints and answered all questions in a timely manner. Would definitely stay again and can't wait to do so!!!
5.0
Strongly recommend for family that is seeking for a quiet, safe and privacy location to avoid the hotel zones or crowded tourist attraction in Cancun. A million dollars view of sunrise every morning from the balcony. The location is just perfect between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen that you can explorer both of the areas within 30-45 min drive. Karl is very friendly and well informed of everything that you need for your trip. Irlene the housekeeper lady is available around the property in case you need anything even for your laundry. Make sure try the best and reasonable seafood restaurant in downtown call El Pesquero and coffee shop Le Café D'Mancia has great coffee and variety of choices for breakfast. We really enjoy our stay at the condo and our day trip exploring Chichen Itza, Tulum, shopping at Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, swam at Cenote, snorkel, scuba diving at Puerto Morelos with diverpoint shop is strongly recommended. What a wonderful experience first time ever to Cancun. We will sure to come back and visit again soon.
