Really awesome and accommodating service. The resort is one of the best I've experienced in this part of asia, in terms of the food, room quality, all the hardware and service as well. Aloher was super friendly and very helpful, the front office staff were all kind and warm too. Breakfast was excellent, but might need greater variety in the fruit section. Location was slightly off the beaten track but the private beach as a result was perfect.

I was truly impressed by the warmth and friendliness of the entire staff—from the concierge and reception team to the kitchen' staff, housekeeping, public area staff, and security. What made my stay even more special was how they accommodated my request for a high-floor room with a stunning partial ocean view. The room was impeccably clean, and I appreciated the thoughtful details, from the plush pillows that ensured a great night's sleep to the automatic AC adjustment when the sliding door was opened. Breakfast was another highlight, and I must give special praise to the pastry chef—the croissants were exceptional, even better than those from some renowned pastry shops. Extra credit to the chef for such a delightful treat! Overall, my experience at The Reef was truly memorable, and I’ll cherish the wonderful moments it provided.
Response from Property: Dear Bani,Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I am thrilled to hear that our team’s warmth and friendliness made your stay special. It’s great to know you enjoyed the room, breakfast, and the croissants. We truly appreciate your kind words and we look forward to welcoming you back for more!Sincerely,Gerra L.Resort Manager

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights aand 3 days, and overall we were satisfied. The most impressive thing was the kindness of the staff. They were always smiling and greeeting first. I especially want to mention one person. While having breakfast in the restaurant, there was a staff member with a big smile whom I want to recongnize by her name: Her name was Andrea. She was so kind that food tasted even better. One thing I was disappointed about was room service. The TV didn't work in the room, so I couldn't wathch the news. Regular services including bedsheet & beth towels changes was not smooth.
Response from Property: Dear Mihwa, Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted to hear that our team made your stay impressive. We apologize for the inconvenience with room service and the TV, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your comments will help us improve moving forward. Hope to see you again soon!Sincerely,Gerra L.Resort Manager

We stayed at The Reef to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. The view was breathtaking, and our room was clear, spacious, and comfortable. The gym was well-equipped, and the pool was clean. The breakfast was a highlight, especially the fresh and delicious bakery items. However, the restaurant’s other meals were disappointing, lacking in flavor. Additionally, they ran out of candles for the birthday cake, which was an odd and unfortunate oversight. Overall, The Reef offers beautiful views, great amenities, and a lovely breakfast, but improving the dining experience and attention to small details would make it even better
Response from Property: Dear Tripomad,Thank you for your feedback and for choosing The Reef to celebrate your girlfriend’s birthday! I am delighted you enjoyed the beautiful view, spacious room, and the gym and pool facilities. I’m sorry to hear about the dining experience and the oversight with the birthday cake candles. We truly appreciate your comments and will work on improving these areas. We hope to welcome you back soon!Sincerely,Gerra L.Resort Manager
