I recently enjoyed a delightful stay at this hotel, which is beautifully located in the heart of Palm Cove. The rooms were generally comfortable and offered stunning views, particularly from the ocean view room. The staff were very welcoming and made me feel right at home. However, some areas of the hotel are in need of refurbishment, and my initial room did not meet expectations. Overall, it’s a charming place with a great ambiance, but there are a few improvements needed to reach its full potential.

My recent visit to the hotel was mixed. The location is lovely, right on the Esplanade and close to the beach, but I was disappointed with the room quality and overall cleanliness. The staff were very attentive, which helped improve the experience. The dining options were decent, but I felt there was room for improvement. Overall, it wasn't quite the luxurious stay I had hoped for.

We had a wonderful stay at The Reef House. The rooms were spacious and provided a fantastic view, and we truly appreciated the exceptional service from the staff. The dining options were delightful, especially the breakfast and cocktail-making classes. However, a few minor maintenance issues were evident in our room and some public areas, which could use a little attention.
