We had a very nice stay at the Reef. Great service and helpful staff.
The room had a great view, the beach was incredible and the breakfast was good.
The location of the resort is a bit far from shopping possobilities and restaurants but transportation was easy.

A lovely hotel
A truly beautiful and clean hotel with exceptionally friendly staff who always greeted us with big smiles. The hotel features a café and two restaurants, both offering amazing food. We also enjoyed a massage at the hotel’s spa, and Loila was absolutely fantastic – one of the best massages I’ve ever had and very reasonably priced.
We will definitely be returning to this lovely hotel!

Awesome place to stay. My only complaint is that it is so far from the city. But as far as the location, it is amazing. I loved the pool and the view I had. The room was very spacious and clean. Perfect getaway!

Weekend getaway
We had a great quick weekend getaway at The Reef. Spacious room, great view. The only downside is the limited dining options. Even if there are 2 restaurants, the menu assortment is not that wide.
