We loved our stay at Reef View Hotel. The views were gorgeous, and the staff were very friendly - check-in and check-out were very smooth, and the arrivals & departure lounge was great for having a shower after lounging by the pool and before catching our flight. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and Reef Lounge downstairs had some decent dinner options. The rooms are a little worn, but clean and comfortable. The location is great right on Catseye beach. Overall highly recommend!

Island’s workforce is mainly 20-somethings. Service was hit/miss, and they don’t know that details matter. It’s Reef hotel was clean(ish), checkin wasn’t quite smooth, some food/bev were happy, others weren’t approachable. Great location, food was fine, ample to do.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location on the island. Convenient shuttle stop right out front. Friendly staff; good food and cocktails by the lovely pool. Ping pong tables and air hockey in the nearby community room, but equipment wasn't available if the desk wasn't staffed (which it often wasn't.) Pool table in the bar, though the sticks were warped. And not the fault of the resort, but the wild cockatoos on the island scream day and night - ear plugs will help you sleep.
