My family of four stayed at The Reef in a studio ocean-view room and had a fantastic experience. The room was very clean, and the built-in kitchen was in excellent condition, equipped with everything we needed, including salt, pepper, and a small dishwasher. It was perfect for preparing simple meals, and we saved on breakfast and a few other meals. The nearby supermarket at Marina Village was convenient, and the free shuttle made it easy to get there.
The weather was a bit windy, making walks between towers chilly. Although free shuttle buses are available, the drivers weren’t particularly friendly, likely due to having to repeat instructions frequently since not all buses stop at every location. We found walking more enjoyable overall.
Dining options were great, with typical vacation island prices. We had an exceptional meal at Fish, an upscale restaurant. The water park was a highlight, with incredible aquariums and sea life throughout the property. However, it was disappointing that some water slides were closed for maintenance, especially since it wasn’t low season. This was inconvenient but didn’t overshadow our fun with the included water park features.
The resort offers many activities, but most come with additional costs that can be steep, such as kids’ adventures and mini golf.
Service was exceptional. The waitstaff were attentive and witty, and the front desk and concierge were always helpful and super attentive. We would definitely come back.
