I stayed with friends and we loved the view from the room and how spacious it was. The only area for improvement would be that the beds had a slight damp smell.
On the other hand, the buffet breakfast definitely deserves all the credit, it was amazing, with fresh options and something for everyone. It was our favorite part of the stay.
Thank you, Reef View, for a great experience!

Wonderful hotel, lovely view of the ocean, greeted by cockatoos on the balcony, staff all friendly, great entertainment in the evening in the bar. Only thing I'd say is be careful what you charge to your room, better to pay as you go as we had someone else's meal on our room when we checked out! Did not have time to check the rest as had to get the transfer, but I doubt all charges we had were accurate after that.
