Reviews for The Reef House
Beautiful child free relaxing stay
Everything about our stay was amazing — from the friendly staff who go above and beyond, to the incredible inclusions. It was a truly relaxing experience, and the bed was so comfortable. The food was delicious as well.

Adults only paradise
Our second stay with the Reef House. This is one place that we break our rules of not visiting the place twice as we love it so much. We liked the Brigadier Bar and the complementary activities, the drawing class was great.

RETREAT FOR SOME BUT NOT FOR OTHERS
We booked a suite at a cost of around $1,600 a night staying for 3 nights. It was on a car park with garbage trucks and delivery vans in addition to cars coming and going all day. Also a coffee shop directly underneath. I complained about the location of the Suite and was given a pack with earplugs and magnesium spray for stress! It was the worst experience of accommodation we have ever had. Second night stay people were partying and at around 11pm I needed to ring concierge for it to stop so we could sleep. This property obviously has quiet rooms which would be a retreat BUT our suite was definitely not one of them and would never return. The Suite was #404 . What a disappointment and total waste of money!

We will continue to return each and every year.
Concierge, Cedric's welcoming smile and enthusiastic response to our arrival was just the beginning of our brilliant stay at The Reef House. It is a unique experience - 5 star in every respect - yet has a rustic, open air feel that radiates a relaxed, homely and friendly atmosphere.
