Reviews for The Reef House

A tropical paradise, you'll dream of returning to.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Great location, incredible staff, and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are very comfortable, the restaurant serves beautiful, high-quality food, and the entire property feels relaxing and well-maintained. I loved that it’s adults-only — no children, very quiet, and perfect for unwinding. The facilities are excellent, and the whole experience felt calm, welcoming, and luxurious. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a stunning beachfront setting.

Relaxing short stay. Surprisingly indulgent

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Amazing experience. Pampered. This place has a charm of yesteryear. Large rooms. Our bed was extremely comfortable. Soft and plush. Super king. French, local & international inspiration from the warm friendly and professional staff. Relaxed and peaceful (no kids, no noise) perfect for couples or singles. Canapés @ 5pm. Brigadiers bar. Indulgent & fun. Great location opposite the ocean. Had everything we needed. One suggestion. A full length mirror in the studio room please.

Our piece of paradise

If you need to recharge, relax and get away from it all, The Reef House ticks all the boxes and more. Every thing is supplied, could not fault a thing. Best beds and pillows I have slept on. Palm Cove is approx 40 min from airport, by uber around $60

A great place to relax and recharge!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Great position. Lovely views and beach access. Nice, quiet space with unique decor and luxury at every turn. Very comfortable, special rooms with many delightful little extras. Ideal for relaxing and taking time for yourself. We really enjoyed morning classes and spa treatments. Clean environment with regular attention to our space. Good value for money. Loved bike rides and relaxing pools. Restaurant was pleasant and food was enjoyable. Thank you to the helpful and accommodating staff. We would certainly consider a return trip in future.
