    Staff at restaurant forgot to bring us 2 mocktails that we ordered before the food at dinner. When we asked the waitress about them we were asked if we still wanted them as we just finished eating. We got them but when I went to pay they were charged twice. At checkout I was asked what we consumed out of the minibar but not mentioned in the last 24h. I told the receptionist what we consumed throughout the whole stay, meaning the first day after our arrival. She charged them again to our room although they appeared automatically after the first day when the bar was replenished. We fixed that before we departed only to get again a phone call from the same receptionist while we were in the airport preparing to fly to ask for my bank card details as she forgot taking them for the refund.

    Room was very nice, perfect view, breakfast buffet choice was excellent

    The bathroom is very dated (pretty much original) but it was very clean. It just lets down the room as a whole as the bedroom is upgraded and looks great. The buffet breakfast was good but very busy. Reef hotel guests can go to Sails restaurant on catseye beach which was much quieter.

    Love the location, right opposite Catseye beach with easy access to the main pool and hotel pool. We were in a king room on floor 18 so the view was amazing.

    Needed to still take stairs after taking the lift to get to the apartment. Wouldn’t be an issue if you didn’t have loads of bags! Staff at breakfast are seriously under staffed it’s a joke, they’re trying their best but need more people

    Spacious apartment. Excellent air con! Very comfortable beds, massive en-suite bathroom. Excellent facilities in the apartment.

    The cleaners hardly cleaned, no vacuuming, mould in the bathroom, room has a mouldy smell, carpet was old/worn/dirty. Everything was really overpriced.

    The view from our room, the view from the marina, lookout, central location. The gym was great but opening hours were short. Water was beautiful. Scenery was beautiful.

    The rooms really do need exhaust fans in the bathrooms as they are a bit stinky even as you first arrive. Getting a bit old and tired, but I think this would help

    Staff at this resort were the friendliest we came across on the island! Went above and beyond at every point!!
