I keep coming to this place almost every six months and stay one or two weeks. In the last year some repairs were made and the place looks better. It is a good value for the money!

Authentic Swahili experience.

What's there to say about a hotel started in 1972? If you're looking for modern amenities, you won't find it here. If you're looking for a time capsule of Swahili culture, you will find it here. Rooms have AC, a 3 pools were excellent, ocean view was excellent as well. Breakfast was authentically Swahili with really good mahamris.

Amazing stay and beautiful hotel!

Reef Hotel is a fantastic place to stay—truly a super hotel in a stunning location. It’s set right on the ocean, with its own deck chairs in the resort with a small path down to the public beach, making it perfect for relaxing by the water. Our room was excellent—spacious, well-equipped, and everything worked perfectly. We had constant hot water, a working fridge and safe, excellent air conditioning, and a lovely balcony to enjoy the view. The hotel also felt very sustainable and blended beautifully into the local surroundings. One of the standout features was the variety of eating and drinking options—two restaurants, several bars, and even a club, offering something for every mood and time of day. We also felt very safe during our stay; security was clearly a priority, with a guard even watching over guests' belongings while swimming. The only downside was a lack of communication and coordination between different parts of the hotel, which led to a few minor inconveniences. However, this didn’t take away from what was otherwise a really enjoyable and memorable stay.

The property was very relaxing. The amenities were very convenient and right on the beach was a plus. We enjoyed the pool and restaurants also. I would suggest to guests that they shouldn’t expect earlier check in other than the 12pm time. Other that we enjoyed the beautiful property.

I come here very often for 1-2 weeks each time. There were some repairs and paint jobs done lately, so that the place looks better. The food is OK, the A/C still works, the pool is clean...

Great hotel. Beautiful views of the beach, a nice pool, excellent food and drinks, and helpful staff. I needed to shower after checking out and going diving, and they accommodated my need while also watching my bags. Great service!

Front office staff was amazing! However, upon check in they tried to give me a room with a garden view instead of sea view room I had paid for. Had to ask for it to be sorted. Room was dusty, with cobwebs. On the last day there was no running water. Do not disturb sign on my front door was disregarded had maintenance knocked on my door at 6am. Awful experience!
Dusty room, dirty beds!

Totally decadent, rooms are extremely noisy, slamming the doors all night through because the doors can close easily, total nightmare at night if you care of resting. Decadent room with a shower not even working properly.

I am a repeat customer that stayed here for weeks at the time. It is not too bad. The rooms need a lot. The entire place need a renovation. The landscape is poorly maintained. The water in the pool smells like birds feathers. The food is good. Compared to similar places is even better. The all inclusive is a joke. While bottled beer and some bottle sodas are included, bottled water is not. I just don't get it! Maybe I am not too smart! At the restaurant they charge you for the free bottle water they put in the rooms unless they serve it by the glass (and the glasses do not look too clean, I doubt that the hotel has a commercial steam dishwasher). The good news is that you can buy good bottled water (Keringet) from the gift shop. The bottled water they put in rooms (Aquelle) does not taste good. The people are nice yet they are properly trained how to explain all inclusive customers why bottled water is not included but bottled sodas are!
