Just had another wonderful holiday at Reef House. This is a lovely adults only resort where the staff are very special, friendly and helpful and even often remember your name. This is not a same same wherever hotel - it is a lovely small colonial resort with two pools (one is a mineral pool) and a restaurant with a view of the water, and close to other eateries. The breakfast is deliceous with a great choice and so big that my husband and I had half portions of eggs Benedict. We love the cold towls and sorbets in the afternoon by the pools and the punch and canapes from 5-6 where everyone mingles and chats. If you are lucky enough to be checked in by Cedric (the manager) he will treat you like an old friend. The rooms are very comfortable and clean with everything you need

I cannot speak highly enough of The Reef House! My husband and I spent three nights here on our honeymoon on the recommendation of our travel agent, and I was so impressed by the level of service and care. Every staff member is so accommodating and remembers your name. Very intimate and romantic feel, with a lot of privacy and quiet. Food at the restaurant was excellent (we ate at least one breakfast, lunch, and dinner there, so we got a good variety) and we loved the little extras, like daily cold towels and sorbet by the pool. Our room was very comfortable (with powerful AC!) and immaculately clean. Lots of walkable restaurants nearby (definitely go to Nunu) and the beach is literally steps away from the hotel. Favorite part was the heated mineral pool and the awesome library of books you can borrow. Specifically loved our interactions with Cedric, who always took the time to take care of us. We will be back!!

We just finished a 3 day stay at Reef House Palm Cove and it was a dream. The service was incredible, the food was 5 star and the whole ambience of the resort was divine. Honest review, I couldn’t fault anything, would have been awesome to have a gym on site but other than that the whole experience was wonderful. The thoughtfulness that goes into just the smallest details like spa products in your room and aroma therapy candles was lovely. We will be back.

Great place. Location is perfect and the setting is amazing. So relaxing and the staff can't do enough for you. The cocktail making class was great fun and very well run. Breakfast looking over the beach and ocean sunrise is brilliant. Definitely return.
