The Reef 28, Rooftop bar and terrace in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Roof 28 is an elevated bar and terrace in Playa del Carmen featuring modern design with comfortable furniture throughout. The venue offers an infinity pool, two hot tubs, and panoramic views across the Caribbean Sea.

Rooftop bars emerged as important gathering spots in Playa del Carmen during the early 2000s tourism boom. This tradition of elevated venues continues to shape the city's nightlife and event culture today.

The space reflects contemporary Mexican hospitality, where international cocktail traditions blend with local ingredients. The open terrace encourages casual social gatherings in the relaxed style typical of this coastal region.

The venue is accessible daily and features an elevator for convenient access to all levels. Non-hotel guests should plan for minimum spending requirements that vary depending on the day of the week.

Hotel guests enjoy complimentary access to this adults-only space, while visitors can witness fireworks displays over the Caribbean in the evening. The shift from a calm daytime lounge to an animated night venue creates two distinct experiences.

Rooftop bars in the Riviera Maya

The Riviera Maya stretches along Mexico's Caribbean coast, and rooftop bars are scattered throughout this region's main towns. You'll find them in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Puerto Morelos—each one sits high above the street, letting you look out over the water and surrounding landscape while you drink. Some are in hotels, others stand alone. Some focus on cocktails made with care, others offer cold beer and simple drinks. The rooftops themselves vary: some have lounge chairs where you can settle in for the evening, others feel more like standing bars where people mingle. What they share is the view. From up there, you see the Caribbean Sea stretching toward the horizon, or you look down at the town below as the sun sets and the lights come on.
