Reviews for The Reef House

Wonderful visit!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

This was our second time at Reef House and once again my husband and I had an absolutely fabulous time. Nothing is too difficult for Cedric and the staff, especially Daniel, Rodrigo, Luca. I had a wonderful massage from Priscilla. The hotel maintenance man helped us with our TV and the bikes. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Relaxing Retreat for Couples

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

We had an incredible 3-night stay at The Reef House. We stayed in an ocean view king - it was nice to sit on the patio and listen to the waves crash on the beach. The staff is incredible - we felt taken care of at every turn. The food was excellent, and the activities were so much fun! It's the perfect peaceful retreat for couples.

Wonderful place to stay. Staff are excellent and cannot do enough to make your stay the best. Beautiful position opposite the beach and hotel so clean and inviting. Accomodation was excellent. Couldn’t fault Reef House at all.

A sublime getaway!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Reef House is a very special venue, I suspect one of a kind. As an adults only retreat it is certainly much more peaceful than your average resort, but there is so much more that makes this such a special destination. The wonderful activities that are on offer daily make for fun, and exciting and inspiring learning experiences. From cocktail-making to botanical drawing to indigenous culture to yoga and much more, there’s so much to do, learn and enjoy. The physical environment is gorgeous. Luxury without ostentation, comfort, and so many little extra touches, like sleep playlist, music, scented candles, delightful bathroom toiletries, afternoon sorbets, and of course, the wonderful nightly ritual of drinking punch and eating canapés in the brigadiers lounge But it is the staff that make this place so welcoming, dare I say almost like being at home with warm vibes all around you. From concierge extraordinaire, Cedric, to the many delightful and friendly young people from all around the world who are working there, every staff member made such effort to make us feel special, taking time to fulfill particular requests and have interesting conversation about anything and everything! Although we were only there for five nights, we felt an intimacy and connection with everybody, which is a real accolade for a hotel. Chef Sanj, and his kitchen crew know how to serve up a tour de force of superb cuisine from breakfast through to the creative and delicious haute cuisine of the restaurant. And utterly memorable, superb Holiday experience.
