Staff was friendly but the place was disgusting. roach came out of the floor , the tub was clearly installed wrong and when you step on it, you can hear the water that’s trapped under there and that will cause black mold. I get that you get what you pay for, but this is a health concern for the employees too….

Floor nasty, light bulbs don’t work in any of the lamps, phone is cheap, towels are thin, and the water comes out brown and rusty from the sink I couldn’t even make my baby’s milk. The outlets are coming out of the wall, and the phone in the room is completely broken. Housekeeping had a terrible attitude, very rude (the African lady with the ponytail). I will never come back here.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at Ocean Reef and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The property felt extremely run down… the floors were literally ripping up, and everything seemed neglected. The overall cleanliness was a major issue. I found roaches in the room, and the towels provided were dirty, which was completely unacceptable. Also as you can see in the picture attached the sheets were also stained. The whole place just gave off a grimy, unkept vibe, making it hard to feel comfortable or relaxed. For the price, I expected at least basic cleanliness and upkeep, but Ocean Reef fell far below that standard. I would not recommend staying here until they seriously invest in cleaning, maintenance, and pest control.
