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.

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 Pool was good but the room itself was outdated.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!

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!
