      Luxury on another level.”

      The hotel exterior looks like it needs a paint job and clean. Elevators are quick and have a nice view looking out onto the beach. The rooms are spacious and have ample storage space. Wish the windows next to the spa wasn't frosted so we could have a view of the mountain. We were given 2 queen beds instead of one king bed which was still okay but would have liked the king bed. There was no microwave which would have been nice. No cooktop even though there were plates and bowls. The downstairs fan did not work but the aircon was sufficient. The room was very well sound proofed; couldn't hear anything with all the doors shut. The private shuttle to and from the airport was a nice surprise, we felt very valued. Overall, it was a great place to stay and good proximity to just about everything.

      Great central hotel”

      My husband and I spent 3 days at Reef View Hotel for our wedding anniversary. We were upgraded to king bedroom, which was spacious, clean and had a well stocked bar fridge. The hotel amenities were amazing and you could use other hotels pools. Beach activities were included in the price ie catamaran, wind sailing, snorkels etc. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel which was well below its normal capacity which may have been a positive factor.

      We stayed here for 3 nights had a 10th floor room and the view was fantastic. Rooms are great size and beds are super comfortable.

We would definitely stay here again.

      Had an initial issue with the room (802) which had a bad smell. Staff tried a few times to clear it out but to no avail. Was luckily moved to a newer/cleaner room (1112) which had no smell and a better view. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Gym access is great, well equipped gym! We had breakfast included which allows us to go to 3 different places to eat, which is great. Beach is easy to walk to, in fact most things are walkable. Careful with the showers as the water temperature if finicky and can get VERY hot !

      Outstanding service!”

      We stayed for five nights at Easter 2021, and could not be more impressed by the standard of service. The rooms are clean and spacious, but the pool staff were what made this hotel really stand out. Nothing better than relaxing by the pool being brought food and drinks.

      Magnificent island!”

      Fantastic island. An old hotel but as it is a highrise, you can see really breathtaking views from your balcony, and you're free to go to higher floors as well. Free snorkelling gear and SUPs for the guests. Quite a nice buffet breakfast (despite of covid limitations). Free shuttles. Lots of cockatoos. Definitely recommend!
