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.

Other then the restaurants on site there weren’t many other options available in closing walking distance. Had to take a care to get off the premises. Rooms were very clean and had a good gym with a beautiful view. The pool is small and not enough chairs for then inner of people this place holds.

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.
