Excellent service, food, resort. experience!

These guys take care of everything. Make sure you book the ocean front with the plunge pool. Not all bugaloos have pools. The hotel pool is gorgeous too and the entire island is a photo op. Gorgeous. Snorkeling is decent. 2 big Nurse sharks and a stingray. Lots of tropical fish. Beach is gorgeous food is great! Definitely plan to return soon.

Another Day in Paradise

Yemaya Reefs is perfection. From the door-to-door service from Big Corn airport (definitely worth it to reserve transportation through Yemaya as opposed to finding a taxi from Big Corn airport to the harbor and then finding a water taxi) to the welcome drinks to every member of the team greeting you by name to the sheer beauty of the location and facilities… its perfection. With so few rooms, beach and pool loungers were always available even when the hotel was booked to capacity. The food and cocktails were spectacular, with new dinner specials every night. I stayed in a Beachfront Casita and was impressed with the spaciousness of the room and bathroom. 10/10 no notes.

Beautiful property, however i recommend bringing food & snacks & beverages. There is no where close to purchase. The dinning staf was extremely slow, we had to beg for water they would take our glass we would sit forever waiting & waiter would not return. The menu was small and they were out of most of the main dishes. We where served the wrong dinners that took over hour to get, while its beautiful there no good or water and only alchol available at a hefty cost. Makes for a unpleasant time.

I will recommend this hotel to anyone! I was sick for the duration of my trip and the staff were incredibly accommodating. They offered to make special meals, provided amazing concierge service, inquired with my husband about my wellbeing and provided a 5 star experience. The staff at this hotel are amazing. Amenities are terrific. We stayed in a room with a plunge pool and in a boat room. Both were fantastic experiences. Views are incredible.

The hotel room, view, staff and facility. Did not like to take a boat and pay 10 $ x2 everytimw to go to the village. Nothing around there. If it's raining the path to go to the village is extremely mudy and difficult. They should create a walking path to the village with rocks or ciment. Everything else is amazing. I had a beautiful experience and the room with the swimming pool was a real treat.

The rooms are excellent. The bathroom is an interesting indoor/outdoor hybrid. It is completely sheltered, but has a partial ceiling screen to the outside for fresh air. The bed was very comfortable. I had a patio with a nice ocean view. The restaurant food was excellent, as was my spa experience. While I loved it here, if you are looking for excitement, this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for a peaceful relaxing expereince in a beautiful location, this is the place!

The internet was excellent even in the very remote location. The staff was great and the concierge staff made sure everything was smooth. There was access to drinking water which was great, but the wait staff would often not notice that our glasses needed refilling during meal times. The dessert selection and quality definitely requires more thought and planning. DO not forget to take bug spray, even in windy conditions. We had a great relaxing time, unwinding and enjoyed the small exclusive property.

The location of Yemaya Reefs is divine. We splurged to stay in the luxury casita and it was truly magical. Staff were lovely, food was great. Wine was extremely overpriced so if you plan on having wine with dinner I would suggest bringing your own. Sadly the weather wasn’t on our side but would love to come back and experience this place in all its glory.
