Staff are great, they went above and beyond. First time staying at an 18+ resort and better than expected. Great to relax by the pool and read in silence. Will look to come back again.
Absolutely fantastic! We had an amazing time - the service is outstanding and you can’t help but be relaxed amongst the amazing gardens and pools. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Our visit was tranquil and very chilled which was exactly what we needed. The room, facilities, location and staff were all exceptional. For an adults only retreat, it was perfect.
The food, breakfast lunch and dinner were next level amazing. Dinner was chefs kiss perfect.
The Reef House was exceptional! Very personable with excellent inclusions and service. Rest and relaxation were the highlight of our holiday. The Reef House did not disappoint! We will return!
Second time at beautiful Reef House. We are made feel very special from the day one. Staff is just beautiful and lovley. We will come back again for sure.
Very unique boutique adults only resort. It’s like being on a cruise ship without leaving port. So many special extras included. Free classes if you want something to do. They offer stretch and breath, yoga on beach, aqua aerobics, cocktail making, sleep, breath and meditation. Culture, reef talks and a wine appreciation session. Cold towels by the pool, sorbet at 3pm and canapés and cocktails at 5 at the brigadier bar. The restaurant is outstanding. The two pools and surroundings add to the relaxing and pampering experience. They have a spa for treatments as well. The mineral pool is heated. The staff are amazing. The beach is directly across the road. Stayed there twice and will definitely go back again.

The staff are absolutely wonderful. The hotel is dated. It had its hey day in the 70s and everything is still from that era. The mattress is lumpy and old. The shower is tiny and it’s impossible not to get your hair wet with the rain shower that was obviously installed afterwards and does not belong in the tiny shower stall. The porcelain sink had hundreds of hairline cracks. You will need to buy your own toiletries if you don’t want to smell like a man-cedarwood and juniper. I want to finish on a good note and reiterate that the staff is top notch, from the concierge to the front desk and restaurant staff. The hotel just needs a lot of updating from the 70s
