We had a wonderful stay! The property was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The pool was fantastic, the rooms were lovely and quiet, and the beds were so comfortable. Breakfast was a lovely added touch and made mornings so easy — one less thing to think about when travelling!
We would happily stay here again (actually this is our 3rd or 4th stay) and highly recommend it to anyone looking...

Hotel staff were very helpful advising of some places for dinner. Advised of local pick-up service offered by local club that was great as we were travelling by motorbike and it was very cold at night.

I highly recommend the Reef Palms Motel. I walked into the Studio and it took my breathe away. Everything appliance and implement was inside the Studio. Every comfort especially the bed. I wanted to move in to live . The Staff were personal and they became like family. Every effort was made to make my visit, happy, safe and free from worry. Can't wait to go back there again this year.
