A decent budget resort with friendly staff. Lots of building work still going on in the area but it's not too disruptive. Two brown outs but no generator back up.

Worst experience ever. Dirty, stinky, smelly place with health and safety hazards. Never ever stayed in such horrible conditions as this place. It is in the middle of a construction site. There is no access to the beach. There is no running hot water, AC is from the 60s, emitting a foul smell when is on, windows don’t open, power outage is normal. You fear for your life staying here, don’t waste your money.

Loved the quiet location but close enough to walk to busy white sand beach. Nearby convenience store, neighborhood pub with good food. Staff were excellent and our room was clean. My wife enjoyed the kitchen to cook her native foods. Hot showers and a good ac were appreciated. Great walking beach.

Not recommended

The only positive thing is that this hotel is close to kitesurfing schools and beach Negatives: the streets leading to hotel were full with sewerage water for the 8 days I was there, matress with no springs and uncomfortable, first night had a close by party and I couldn’t sleep

The staff were very helpful and the accommodation was very nice. It was directly next to a beach, but this time of year is rather windy on this side and was used for kite surfing. The white sand relaxing beaches are on the other side of the island but this is only a 15 minute walk or 5 minute tuk tuk ride to station 1 beach. Our stay at Reef Retreat was very pleasant but there was a couple of power outages that was not really acknowledged or explained. I would recommend this accommodation if you would like a clean, modern, quiet location that is not on the main tourist area.

Worst resort stay in Boracay

Our worst 4-night stay in Boracay. We selected the resort for their purported garden setting but which turned out to be a poorly maintained and uneven patch of grass. Hotel entrance was not lit and security guard was stationed inside the resort instead of at entrance. Aircondition was noisy n heater did not work in first room. Overall a very disappointing experience

The resort is amazing. The staff are so nice and helpful. Room cleaned every day. The only thing is they do not have a generator. We stayed here for a week and in that time the electricity in Boracay went off 3 times. This is very common in Boracay. Nearly everywhere else, even the worst of accommodations had a generator but we were in darkness with a cold shower and no aircon/fan. We spent one night getting ready in the dark with just a little torch. We paid a lot of money to stay here and would expect better facilities. Other than that the place is perfect. Its only a 10 minute walk to White Beach and it is nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of it.
