Incredible hotel, perfect on every level

We had a great quick weekend getaway at The Reef. Spacious room, great view. The only downside is the limited dining options. Even if there are 2 restaurants, the menu assortment is not that wide.

Lovely hotel with excellent service and friendly staff.

the resort was very clean and our room smelled good. beach was amazing early morning dip is a must.infinity pool was very instagrammable. we had a massage for 90 minutes and it was the best massage we’ve had. we dined at their alfreso restaurant, the serving size was enough for my husband and I, food was tasty.

I had a lovely stay in The Reef - what a beautiful place! Very nice rooms, fine breakfast, very warm and friendly staff, and very easy access to great snorkeling. One point of attention - when the staff orders a taxi, they automatically order a luxury taxi which is double as expensive as a white taxi. As you need to pay taxis with cash, this can lead to a negative surprise when you are low on cash (for me, on my trip to the airport going back)
3.0
Great service and staff. Terrible location getting to and out of the resort. Breakfast lacks variety and choice. No beef whatsoever. Bread is good though. No tv choice but YouTube and Netflix. No local, us, sports, nothing.

the nearest restaurant or shopping area is not walkable, other than that the staff are great very friendly and helpful. I just hope that the AC unit are already open before because it was so hot and humid and when we arrived to our room the AC is off and took some time to cool.

5.0
Super stocked with our two night stay here. Honestly everything exceeded my expectations.
The only pain would be the elevators! Haha it’s weird individual buttons only bring designated elevator so you need to press all the buttons to hope bring one to you. Once you hop in, the other ones you requested before don’t cancel so often you waste quite a bit of time of opening doors to no one.
We dined at the Kitchen and breakfast is versatile and superb so is their dinner options. Pricy but worth it! The only downside would be the venue - we wanted to eat at the outdoor (yet enclosed) area for the intimate and ambient vibes but it was not open.
In saying that these were all very minor constructive feedback to make this resort improve their overall service to draw more visitors in the future. I would definitely be more than happy to stay at The Reef Resort again! Well done team.

This hotel really is situated in the middle of nowhere… have to take taxi every time you go out. Hotel lacks a soul… sad really because the staff are absolutely great
5.0
Absolutely loved the 4 days we spent there. Good place for relaxation. We got a sea view facing the east, sunrise from the balcony was absolutely splendid! A little far from the city, but the stay is well worth the travel and a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Oceanfront property. We loved coming out of the elevator from our room and there is the pool and beach! Breakfast is delicious variety of foods. Staff is so friendly and helpful. We made the perfect choice of all the hotels! Its Excellent!

Ok, so this is a top end elite resort. Although I will still give 5 stars, there are few things you should know;
1. No nighttime entertainment at all. I was there Friday, Sat, Sunday. Lounge was empty. If there was even just a piano player it would have been nice. Also nice for their business.
2. You are pretty much stuck in hotel. Sort of like a compound. Area around is island life. City is a hike and much traffic always.
3. If you plan on doing the Whale Shark excursion,sardines, sea turtles, do know that you will leave 3am, 3-4hour ride there, 5-6 hour ride back. The ride is not fun.
4. Same menu every night. Food was good, but again you can walk to anything.
Otherwise, pools, view, rooms, beauty, service are all incredible. This place makes for Instagram Billionaire photos.

Good service, food is tasty but drinks can be better. Location wise is far from amenities and will require car to get out of the compound, else it is quite a walk. Overall it is a very pleasant stay.
The only complaint is that the bath tub is dirty and the water is yellow, hence we are unable to use it.

it was great, the staff were friendly, and we got a free upgrade

Stayed for 4 days, most of it was pleasant. The room was comfortable and clean, the pool was great (as a result chairs are hard to come by during busy hours), and the breakfast spread was good as well. Gym was pretty well equipped as well, although it gets quite hot in there. My main gripe was that the wifi in my room was basically unusable, and I had to rely on my phone data.

Staff were excellent and always available to provide a service.

Very comfortable room, bed was firm, wifi was fast, and the buffet breakfast was probably one of the best we’ve had in our stay in Philippines, especially when wife is part of the Astoria group. The Bakery’s tall layered chocolate cake is amazing!
4.0
Staff extremely friendly and helpful. One of the most beautiful hotels I've ever been to. The view alone is to die for! And the pools are pristine! The buffet is delicious but the dinner menu is even better. The place is newer, I believe so there are nooks and crannies that are still under construction. The hotel is in a private secluded area but that shouldn't be an issue if you are searching for peace and quiet.
The surrounding areas leading to the hotel is a bit sketchy but once you get into the hotel, it is definitely worth the trip.

I stayed at the hotel for 1 night with my family. I wish I could rate it more than 5 stars! The staffs are extremely helpful and friendly. What really surprised me is that we are upgraded to a bigger room. The room and shower area is also fantastic! The most important thing is the breakfast and restaurant are super impressive! There is private beach outside the resort. Staying here means you can enjoy the time in Cebu for sure. The great designed hotel is new furbished and clean. Highly recommended for everyone!

The hotel offers beautiful seaview the moment you step into the lobby. The staff were always around to help even with the smallest of requests. All staff were polite and extremely service oriented. The king bed is very comfortable and the room is clean. What we didn't like was the half hour limit for the use of the recreation room and that use of other facilities like the kayak was payable at high charge. Usually resorts offer these amenities as part of the room charge. The breakfast spread is sumptuous, and the pork adobo deserves special mention.

We had an excellent, albeit short, stay at the Reef Island Resort. Although we were only there for a day between flights, we wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel and grounds are beautiful with many nice places to relax. The food in the restaurants was some of the best we have had in the Philippines. Our bed was so comfortable and the air conditioning was top notch. The view from the pool was beautiful. We enjoyed chatting with the helpful and friendly staff, namely Kyle and the two Kens. If we are ever back in Mactan we would definitely stay again, and would recommend this hotel without hesitation to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay.
