Playa Del Carmen and Tulum Mexico Real Estate | Culinary Bliss And Wellness With Somos Reef Group

Culinary Bliss And Wellness With Somos Reef Group

Last week, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the culinary and wellness world of Somos Reef Group in Playa del Carmen, and let me tell you—it was an experience to remember. Thanks to the incredible hospitality of Somos Reef Group and Liz Perea from Soma Creative Laboratory, I embarked on a two-day journey exploring their different venues, including Fragata Beach Club, Cachito Restaurant, The Reef 28 rooftop, and the serene Ome Spa at The Reef Playacar hotel. From savoring exquisite dishes to enjoying a rejuvenating massage, this adventure had it all. Let me share all the delicious details with you.

Fragata Beach Club: A High-End Beachfront Escape

If you've been in Playa del Carmen for a while, you might remember the iconic Canibal Royal Beach Club. Well, the same stunning location now houses Fragata Beach Club—completely remodeled and elevated to a high-end, stylish venue with two pools and a luxurious atmosphere. During the day, Fragata offers a laid-back vibe perfect for enjoying the pristine beach, while at night, it transforms into a fine-dining destination with breathtaking ocean views.

The Daytime Delights: My adventure at Fragata began with their ceviche mixto, which was fresh, tangy, and absolutely mouthwatering. I followed it up with the "catch of the day," a fish dish so fresh it felt like it was straight off the boat—and it probably was, considering the fishermen work just steps away on the beach. As a steak lover, I couldn’t resist trying their New York steak, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

The Evening Elegance: As the sun set, Fragata’s vibe shifted to something truly magical. I started with mussels bursting with flavor, followed by a ribeye steak that was once again cooked to perfection. The shrimp with mashed potatoes were divine, and the "catch of the day" paired with a creamy risotto was the ultimate indulgence. Fragata isn’t just about the food—the welcoming atmosphere, stunning views, and great music make it a must-visit spot. The owners’ vision of a peaceful beach club (not a party destination) is clearly reflected in every detail.

The Reef 28: Rooftop Vibes and Culinary Gems

Next on my tour was The Reef 28, a vibrant venue tailored to a younger, energetic crowd. The rooftop offers panoramic ocean views and a lively atmosphere, complete with DJs and dancing. It’s the perfect spot to sip on a margarita—or two—while soaking in the stunning scenery.

Dining at Cachito: Hidden within The Reef 28, Cachito Restaurant delivered a culinary experience that blew me away. Despite its location in the bustling heart of Playa del Carmen (1st Avenue and 28th Street), the menu was authentic and innovative. I started with guacamole topped with chapulines (grasshoppers), a bold and flavorful twist. The octopus carpaccio was light and refreshing, while the mixiote, a traditional Mexican dish, was rich and satisfying. But the real showstopper? The bone marrow and ribeye tacos. They were so incredible that I’ve been dreaming about them ever since.

Relaxation at Ome Spa

After two days of indulging in culinary delights, it was time for some self-care. I visited the tranquil Ome Spa at The Reef Playacar, where I received a professional massage that melted away every ounce of stress. The spa offers a range of services, including hydrotherapy and facials, and is open to the general public. The peaceful ambiance and skilled therapists make it a sanctuary of relaxation.

Final Thoughts

My experience with Somos Reef Group was nothing short of extraordinary. From the exquisite dishes at Fragata Beach Club and Cachito Restaurant to the lively rooftop vibes at The Reef 28 and the rejuvenating massage at Ome Spa, every moment was carefully curated to provide a perfect blend of luxury, flavor, and relaxation. A heartfelt thank you to Liz Perea for orchestrating this unforgettable tour.
