Testimonials

Exceptional. Better than described. The signature inclusions elevate your stay to a state of bliss. However, these are just things, materials, purchased items. Where The Reef House excels and sets itself apart is the humanity and engagement of their staff. There is an honesty of expression and desire to delight that permeates every interaction. This is culture. It made our stay unforgettable. Thank you Reef House family."

"Above expectation. Would recommend to anyone wanting a luxury tropical holiday. Amazing food. Lots of interesting and fun activities going on. Wonderful staff, experienced and engaging. One of the best holidays we’ve had."

"Iconic Venue in iconic Palm Cove. Brilliant place to stay, the staff really make it a most enjoyable. Rooms are light airey and comfortable. The pools are awesome and the food excellent. An iconic venue on an iconic beach, highly recommended."

"Wonderful experience, relaxing and friendly. This is a wonderful hotel, luxurious and indulgent. I felt very special, the staff in all areas are so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend. So many lovely experiences including making cocktails, wine tasting, beautifully prepared meals. Seafood experience was a standout including champagne, even for one! Location is perfect, beach across the road and shops all close by."

"Little slice of paradise with great beach views The best hotel and dining in Palm Cove! My husband and I went for our honeymoon in 2022 and fell in love with everything about our stay at the Reef House; the pool and the poolside service, the rooms, the amenities and the service. Even their signature smell in the lobby! We went back again this year for our 1st anniversary and it was like we never left. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. The on-site spa is fantastic also! Highly recommend for adults wanting to relax and be pampered."
