The staff are so lovely, the location is incredible right on the lake, and our room was perfect and had the most amazing view. The pool was heated and we LOVED it — we spent at least 3 hours a day in it after our activities that day. Thank you to the team at Reef Resort, y’all make this a very special place. ##### Gabriele Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terrence 9 Sept 2025 Enjoyable stay , nice view , ##### Terrence Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Denise 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, amazing pool, comfy, clean room with lovely beds. ##### Denise Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful place to stay.
