Quiet, ocean front, simple, but perfect.

Although an older hotel, its location is quiet and it has the best pool overlooking the ocean. The staff are really lovely and it was a wonderful stay.

I stayed here for 5 days and had a great time. They have free transportation to town or tours. Right on a very nice quiet clean beach. If you are a foodie you can walk to Carly for an incredible meal as well. Thanks Ulle!

Black mold

Det luktade instänkt och mögel på rummen. Utsikten och poolen var fina. Hotellet skulle behöva en uppfräschning.
Fredrik, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had read alot of reviews which almost pursued me not to stay here. Yet I tried anyways and Im so happy I did. Although it is dated its a gem of a place. The rooms were very clean, the pool was great and not to mention the views are phenomenal. As far as transport: they def provide transport to the main square. For a small fee they will drop you at your request a bit further. The staff was lovely and very accommodating. Its close to some amazing food spots. Mine was Fuego for the burger and chicken eaters For the athletic there is a gym in the town square. This was a birthday stay and it was an amazing one.

2/10 Poor

I had one of the worst experiences in this property mainly because of the horrible customer service. Big waste of time and money. Avoid booking this place at all costs !

10/10 Exceptional

The view from the room is amazing, after a day of island hopping you come back to a place very relaxing. The staff are so friendly, courteous and very accommodating. We had a very relaxing stay.
Bienvenido, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property needs many updates. Came home from island hopping and water not working. But they corrected it saying it was lime build up. But water softener machines would prevented it. Food was horrible at the hotel. Old steps going to the room. No elevator. No refrigerator or phone in room. The door to the room stopped working and had to be repaired during my stay.

Très mauvais rapport qualité / Prix

Bcp trop cher ! Malgré la gentillesse du personnel Cet hôtel vaut 40 euro max 50 si vous êtes généreux mais à 110 c est du vol Points positifs : grande chambre belle vue personnel gentil Points négatifs : emplacement pas pratique éloigné du centre, hôtel en décrépitude totale, piscine eau trouble, pire petit déjeuner Très mauvais rapport qualité / prix

2/10 Poor

Not recommended, there is not roadway access to this property and upon arrival it was not clean, old old towels, single vanity set with a bar of soap. Definitely can find other arrangements better suited. Cleanliness is not great here.

2/10 Poor

Doesnt has access to the hotel by a regular way the street is closed just really disappointed
Javier, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The views were incredible the staff was outstanding especially Ulli who has the smile of an angel. The rooms were priced very reasonable. The room I had was without a view on the lower level and could use a little updating but it was only used for sleeping so no big deal. The owner is very protective of his guest, by this I mean I had a pickup scheduled and somehow or another there was a delay. The owner drove down to the pickup location on his motorbike and made sure I was taken care of. That was service over and above.

Conquis par la vue et le calme

Hôtel avec une magnifique vue Literie confortable L’accueil du patron n’était pas à la hauteur, la patronne quand à elle est très serviable Petit déjeuner simple La piscine et le jacuzzi sont bien agréable

The pool is fantastic. The view is amazing. The staff is friendly, helpful, and eager to please their guest. You have to get to know the Owner "Olly" - him and his wife Rose are super cool host.

8/10 Very good

Great location! The hotel is on the beach side so you’re able to catch amazing sunrise/sunset views. The staff was very nice and super helpful in accommodating our needs and coordinating breakfast each morning as well as the island hopping tours. The breakfast was good..The rooms were good..a little rundown but for the price, it’s worth it! Overall, we were all satisfied with our stay and would recommend. They also provide roundtrip transportation from the airport.

10/10 Exceptional

I had a wonderful first visit and look forward to coming back again. The owner Mr. Uli, went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, and get me to my island hopping cruise on time! Warm and friendly staff. Very helpful. Beautiful location on the beach. シ

10/10 Exceptional

The view from the rooms and the pool is exactly like you see on the pictures. It is spectacular. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. Lot of times they serve you the things you might need without asking. For example towels for your excursions.. You can conveniently book excursions with them and they provide free transportation or rent a scooter from them. Meals and cocktails available as well. We had a fantastic time.

Many thanks to Uli & Rose for being excellent hosts, they made us feel like we were ‘part of the family’ The views from the balcony were spectacular, the rooms are large, have air-con and with smart TV. The shower/restroom also very spacious. We spent the evenings at the bar interacting with other guests and the hosts. There was also a good choice of delicious on the menu. We also opted for the breakfast included option. We also took advantage of the chariot/shuttle service, that took us into El Nido town and to the next beach… free of charge and included within the price. I personally recommend the Island Hopping, if you want to see some spectacular views of, and want to visit the beautiful lagoons, just ask Rose or Uli for details. They will also arrange transport too. The Reef Strand Resort is like a sparking hidden treasure, and my partner and I are already looking forward to visiting again in 2025. A special thank you to Jima, Angel, Jizreal and Jona, and all of the employees that welcomed us, took care of us and looked after us, during our stay.
