The Reef House is all about relaxing and rejuvenating. It is an amazing oasis with lovely staff, delicious food and amazing inclusions. Imagine spending a day by the pool with butler service! This was my second trip in 2years and I can’t wait to go back again!

Another great stay at the Reef House. Great comfortable room, large balcony with sea views and a bottle of champagne waiting on our arrival. All staff members smiling and providing top notch service. All the guests I spoke to were enjoying their stay. This was my third visit and I am already planning my next.

I am back again for the 3rd time. What a gem. The best service and most accommodating staff I have ever experienced in all my travels. Love the resort, love the staff and love the food - and all the other guests I spoke to did too. Obviously I recommend 😁

What an amazing holiday! The Reef House is incredible. If you’re looking for some ‘r and r’ and a decent cocktail by the pool this is the place to stay. We will be back for sure. Thanks to Cedric and the staff for the top notch hospitality. It was the holiday my partner and I needed 😊😊

We have had a delightful stay at The Reef House, and would highly recommend this retreat to all. Our room overlooked the ocean and was clean and very nicely appointed with boutique teas, coffee pods, verandah chairs, a comfortable bed and couch. We took part in the included activities of cocktail making, wine tasting and sorbet by the pool each afternoon. Breakfast each day was generous and delicious. They even lent out fishing rods and tackle boxes to keen fishermen. The staff at The Reef House were friendly and very helpful and attentive. A perfect stay to celebrate a milestone birthday. We will be back!

Highly recommend The Reef House. The Staff were friendly and attentive. We were even contacted during our stay to ensure we were happy. There were so many activities to choose from and the facilities were A1. The restaurant food, staff and service were also excellent. We will be back…..

Brilliant location, stunning property and outstanding hospitality. The small inclusions, like a beautiful scented oil burning in our room on arrival, to a bottle of bubbles in the fridge was lovely. Loose leaf tea with brewing pots and a stocked coffee pod machine were also nice touches. We had breakfast and a seafood platter included in our stay and it was all delicious. Highly recommend.
