Reviews for The Reef House

Take my word, stay at the Reef House

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 9 hours ago

I can’t express how much I love the reef house.. the staff are beyond incredible! They make your stay even better! The signature inclusions are soooo good. Press a button while you’re at the pool and you can order drinks and food to be brought right to you. Cold towels and sorbet brought to you by the pool. Fresh juice of the day, each day.. Cocktail making classes, wine appreciation class, yoga, water aerobics, fishing rods and if you catch a day the chef will cook it for you, use of their bikes to go exploring. Theres a pillow menu for your bed, the beds are comfortable. A spa on site to treat yourself to a massage. 2 pools to choose from, the large tranquility pool which one end is super deep, 2.6m (i think) at one end and a nice shallow end, then you have the mineral pool with a jacuzzi. An amazing restaurant, every meal was incredible! You can opt to eat there or have the meal delivered to the comfort of your room! I really can’t fault the reef house. The staff, the food, the amenities.. This is the perfect kid free getaway, to relax in complete silence and zen! You honestly won’t regret it. You don’t even have to leave the resort. But if you do, they are in a great location and right on the beach! I will be going back asap!!

Perfect relaxation retreat with friends

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Excellent room opposite pool with 2 single beds which you sank into like clouds. We had 2 rooms next to each other. Cool shaded large patio overlooking palm trees and pool. It was perfect for 4 friends to stay and catch up. Pool was very warm due to no shade, however we loved using both the Tranquility pool and the Mineral. Staff were friendly, attentive but not intrusive. The food was excellent! Also enjoyed cocktail making and wine tasting classes. Same with afternoon fruit punch and canapes and mingled with other guests. We had a wonderful time!

Ondrej, Barista Extraordinaire and Legend (like the Reef House)!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Our third visit to the Reef House was as memorable as ever! We loved every moment of our very special week. This is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate in every way - the delightful and attentive staff make sure of that. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them. From Lena who greeted us on arrival to Alvin who was our maintenance guru to Jade, Fiona, Sean and Curtis who served us the most delectable food each day - you are all superb. No staff member ever walked past without a cheery hello. Ondrej, the inimitable barista, is our all-time favourite - we have met him on each visit and have enjoyed our chats with him. He always makes time to find out our plans for the day and asks where we will take the bikes for our daily jaunts. Ondrej is familiar with our routine and is always ready to prepare our iced coffees when we return. Such a friendly and charming host and very well suited to the superb Reef House. Of course, we will return for a fourth visit! Karen and Kevin
