Dirt parking for guests. Swimming pool groutlines are missing, glass shower door does NOT open all the way. Thanks to the staff who upgraded our deluxe room to a junior suite, but I’m glad it was free because i dont think it’s worth the advertised price of the room.

The Reef was nice

It was a nice hotel. Very clean and comfy. Nice bed and bedding. We were given a free upgrade for our first stay. Only complaint is the fees for water sport activities. Almost double in some cases when compared to Shangri-la and Costabella where we also stayed during our 2 week vacation. No cable tv. Only Netflix and YouTube. The staff were kinda enough to let us use one of their log in accounts. I was hesitate to use my personal account on their wifi.

Food was excellent. Little things like properly cooking hard boiled eggs where thay are properly cooled so the yolk doesn't grey. Attention to detail. Access to mactan new town with a 100 p ride is convenient. Attentive staff. dislikes Resort restaurant prices are too high. Every room should have an ironing board without requesting it. Only 2 complementary bottle waters per day. Should be free within reason. 175 p for soda is insane. Beach is lacking.
