Really good Breakfast Experience

Staying at The Reef Island Resort was a good experience, especially when it came to the breakfast. Each day offered a wonderful variety, and I was particularly impressed by the staff's willingness to accommodate my dietary preferences. When I inquired about vegetarian options, the chef personally prepared vegetarian enchiladas just for me! Everything was delicious, making breakfast a highlight of my stay.

Relaxing Oasis

The pool area at The Reef is simply amazing! I spent countless hours relaxing by the infinity pool with stunning views. There was also a café nearby where I could enjoy tasty food and drinks delivered right to my lounge chair. It made for a truly relaxing experience, and I even indulged in a snorkeling session where I encountered some beautiful fish. The overall atmosphere was peaceful and rejuvenating.

Family-Friendly Fun

Traveling with my little one was a breeze at The Reef. The kids' club offered a safe and enjoyable environment, allowing me to relax while my toddler engaged in fun activities. The play areas were well-equipped, and I felt safe knowing my child was in good hands. This made our family vacation not just enjoyable but also stress-free, and I would definitely return for that reason alone!
