The only issue I faced is the front disk assistant. Upon checking in, she was asking for my booking confirmation. Going through several countries in my travel this time, I mad booking with several agencies. So I had a hard time finding out which one I made this booking with. So I asked if she can tell me which travel agency was the booking done with!! She replied Expedia. No im having problems with phone reception, so I asked her ( if you see my reservation and n your system, why do you need to see the confirmation #, my name and my reservation are there and you see it, she replied, it’s is the hotel policy. Stoped and time consuming i think. Lesson, Always have your booking confirmation ready when checking in

Pros - up there with the best hotels I have stayed in my life - lovely decorated rooms. Very spacious - really nice swimming pool - nice snorkelling area, not the most amazing fish but decent - excellent breakfast. Staff remembered what you liked. Wonderful banana pancakes! - really good quality gym - helpful staff. I asked to move rooms at 11pm due to noisy neighbours and they were more than happy. Helped me move my luggage - great views from balcony - free drop of in mactan new town Cons - expensive restaurant (as expected). But can walk or get free drop of in town centre. Honestly this is a fantastic hotel. I would book here again if I return to mactan

Weekend getaway

We had a great quick weekend getaway at The Reef. Spacious room, great view. The only downside is the limited dining options. Even if there are 2 restaurants, the menu assortment is not that wide.

Our room was a "King" but the bed was definitely more of a queen size. It was relatively clean but did not offer room service during out stay. The pool, beach, and restaurants were the highlights. Infinity pool with a perfect view of the beach. The beach was great for snorkeling but I would recommend buying your own snorkeling set with shoes due to the higher rental price at the hotel. The Kitchen offered great food for a reasonable price. I would recommend adding the buffet breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. The location was less than ideal. It was far from convenient store or any thing else. A taxi is required to go anywhere. It also didn't help that the gate to the hotel was tricky to find. Luckily most of our taxi drivers knew which gate was open/closed.

Getting to the hotel you pass by slummy neighbor. The hotel location is by the ocean but it is far from any restaurant, shopping or entertainment facilities. There’s not a shuttle to take you to a nearby mall where there’s plenty of restaurants, shops and entertainment.

Disappointing social facilities. The lounge bar, advertised as open until midnight, was closed there was no access to any eating or drinking venue after 9pm in the evening. Very disappointing. The hotel is quite some distance from any other hotels or bars. The staff were all absolutely delightful, very friendly and helpful and the manager did his best to ameliorate the issues we raised however it was beyond his control. The daytime facilities were excellent, beautiful swimming pool, gymnasium and eateries etc. easy access to the beach with lots of activities on offer (for additional cost). Breakfast excellent.
