Our room was a "King" but the bed was definitely more of a queen size. It was relatively clean but did not offer room service during out stay. The pool, beach, and restaurants were the highlights. Infinity pool with a perfect view of the beach. The beach was great for snorkeling but I would recommend buying your own snorkeling set with shoes due to the higher rental price at the hotel. The Kitchen offered great food for a reasonable price. I would recommend adding the buffet breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. The location was less than ideal. It was far from convenient store or any thing else. A taxi is required to go anywhere. It also didn't help that the gate to the hotel was tricky to find. Luckily most of our taxi drivers knew which gate was open/closed.

Getting to the hotel you pass by slummy neighbor. The hotel location is by the ocean but it is far from any restaurant, shopping or entertainment facilities. There’s not a shuttle to take you to a nearby mall where there’s plenty of restaurants, shops and entertainment.

Disappointing social facilities. The lounge bar, advertised as open until midnight, was closed there was no access to any eating or drinking venue after 9pm in the evening. Very disappointing. The hotel is quite some distance from any other hotels or bars. The staff were all absolutely delightful, very friendly and helpful and the manager did his best to ameliorate the issues we raised however it was beyond his control. The daytime facilities were excellent, beautiful swimming pool, gymnasium and eateries etc. easy access to the beach with lots of activities on offer (for additional cost). Breakfast excellent.

Great service and staff. Terrible location getting to and out of the resort. Breakfast lacks variety and choice. No beef whatsoever. Bread is good though. No tv choice but YouTube and Netflix. No local, us, sports, nothing.

the nearest restaurant or shopping area is not walkable, other than that the staff are great very friendly and helpful. I just hope that the AC unit are already open before because it was so hot and humid and when we arrived to our room the AC is off and took some time to cool.

Super stocked with our two night stay here. Honestly everything exceeded my expectations. The only pain would be the elevators! Haha it’s weird individual buttons only bring designated elevator so you need to press all the buttons to hope bring one to you. Once you hop in, the other ones you requested before don’t cancel so often you waste quite a bit of time of opening doors to no one. We dined at the Kitchen and breakfast is versatile and superb so is their dinner options. Pricy but worth it! The only downside would be the venue - we wanted to eat at the outdoor (yet enclosed) area for the intimate and ambient vibes but it was not open. In saying that these were all very minor constructive feedback to make this resort improve their overall service to draw more visitors in the future. I would definitely be more than happy to stay at The Reef Resort again! Well done team.
