Very Good

Def will be back. The owner made our 2 year wedding anniversary one to remember! The place was clean and the hospitality was amazing! The young kid who was cleaning was very nice and he had great conversation. Love this place.
I thought the room was roomy and comfortable. Best hotel air conditioner ever by far! Was great that the owner lived on site and the hotel had such a warm family feel. Would have preferred more water pressure and a plug on both sides of the bed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Great for just a quick stay. Pool was good but the room itself was outdated. Bathroom was bad in that the door knob was very loose and showerhead very old.
We really enjoyed our stay at Shark Reef. We hope to come back again and try the cottages out. Our room was neat and clean, gave plenty of room for us and the AC worked REALLY well, haha. The courtyard is neat and clean and offers many different activities.
The staff was outstanding, courteous, friendly and super helpful. They're a huge part of the reason we'll be coming back here. Plus their prices were excellent!
When I pulled back the blankets they where dirty and had hair everywhere and the pullout had red juice or something that was spilled on it
Asked for a change and didn’t
This was the worst stay I've ever had I will let all my friends and family know about my experience.
Rooms we're dirty beds we're not even stable or level. Bedding was dirty looked like blood on both bedspreads. restroom very Dirty. Room Full of spiderwebs and mosquitos. You can hear everyone talking outside and on both sides of the room .
Staff well I believe the owner Very RUDE!
