Reviews for The Reef House
Fun. Lots of laughs. Everything is done for you. Rooms are beautiful.
This is a very special place. You feel like you're in a dream. The staff are incredibly kind, generous and fun. All the guests are walking around with big smiles on their faces because it is just such an unbelievably magical place!

Girls trip!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The reef house and their inclusions were 100% what we needed. We were a group of 7 ladies celebrating our 40ths and had the best time ever. Could not fault a thing. Accommodation was great- plenty of bathrooms and beds for us all (we shared a room between 2), so many activities to enjoy- we did wine appreciation, cocktail class, rode the bikes around town, daily breakfast, 1 dinner in the week, daily canepes and punch, aqua aerobics, pool side drinks and food service and spa voucher (30 min massage and facial were 👌👌). We loved the two pools- used them both frequently! So nice to have the warm mineral one when it was shady and the non-heated when it got hot! Everything else we needed was literally less than a 10 min walk away (mostly even 5!)- we had a great experience at the cabana bar for cocktails and the Irish pub for karaoke! 😆 The staff at Reef House were so lovely and laughed along with our big loud group of ladies letting their hair down 😆 10/10 no notes. We loved every minute and will be back!!

Complete relaxation
Location is perfect especially if you get a room with a view of the beach. The staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. And I can recommend the spa which I tried for the first time this visit. We will be back.

A Truly Fabulous Retreat
The Reef House at Palm Cove provides a truly fabulous and relaxing retreat. The facilities are great, the options for rest and recuperation outstanding and the staff simply marvellous. The restaurant is high class, yet relaxed and the food, sublime. This was our second stay and we cannot wait for our third visit!
