Such a perfect time staying at Reef View! We got a room with an ocean view and it was such a stunning, post card view. The balconies are big with comfy chairs so we spent a lot of time out there. Convenient location near the beach and all the pools. Highly recommend!

The best thing about this hotel is view from the balcony (Sea View) Its absolutely stunning! Top tips, when you arrive at the airport go straight to the hotel desk located by the luggage collection. Don't collect your luggage first. Semi check in and get your luggage tag from them. They tell you which free shuttle bus you catch. Then collect your luggage from the carousel and attach the tag. This will save you a big queue. When you get to the hotel after checking in, if you can collect your luggage and take it to the room yourself. It takes ages for it to come up otherwise. To be fair they warn you of this. The Reception Staff were very nice and friendly. The rooms. As mentioned the view is breathtaking. The beds are very comfortable, which is a must for me. The room itself was a little tried, worn carpet, old furniture etc, but that did not bother me as it was clean and good. The bad bits. The food, I ordered the Burger and chips. The Burger was oozing liquid and wasn't the best. Later that night I did not feel good at all. I thought the bar staff were Ok, but could have been friendlier. The chap they hired to sing was very poor! I stayed on the 16th Floor. It's high up and the balcony is not overly high, it's a long way down! If I had children with me, personally I would not have been happy. As a travelling adult I would stay there again, mainly for the stunning view but eat at the Marina restaurants.

Reef view rooms have an incredible view out over the beach. The only negative for us was the sound of a constantly crying baby in the room next door, I might be nice if infants were restricted to certain floors.
