Very clean and spacious room. We had a nice view of the sea. Hotel staff very attentive. The Breakfast Buffet had a nice variety. We had no complaints at all.
This was the second time to stay at this hotel. Really nice location and staffs are so kind and helpful. Snorkeling was also greast. I couldn't wait to have wonderful breakfast every day.
The hotel was very clean. The rooms were very nice and a lot of space. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Glenn, one of the managers was very helpful, especially to my family. We encouraged other family members to leave their current hotels close by to join us at our hotel. The pool was fantastic and the restaurant/food selections were great. This is a prime location to stay when visiting Cebu. This is located very close to the airport vs. staying somewhere near the SM mall. We visit Cebu frequently and love all of the amenities the Reef offers. We suggest that you book the deluxe room, which includes a big bathtub and a large patio deck. Definitely worth the price.
What a place ! Probably one of the best hotels around Mactan: new, beautiful swimming pools looking up over the sea.
The staff upgraded me to a sea view room, and they were very kind.
It’s quiet, no doors banging like in most hotels around the world. New standings !

The staff at The Reef is second to none. I was especially impressed with Jay at check in/out, Jed and Clayde. I highly recommend this resort!
Staff are very courteous and friendly. Our room was cleaned daily, bottled water and coffee, personal care items were refilled and fresh towels provided. We love their breakfast buffet and the Halina outdoor restaurant. We were glad they have a beach access which we enjoyed early in the morning before it gets too hot.
