My husband & I stayed at The Reef in March, 2013 and had a wonderful experience. When we arrived (I had booked online) we were not able to get into our room because of a defect with the door lock. However, the management put us in another room (that was an upgrade at no extra charge) and we were treated... More

All rooms are oceanfront! You can't get a bad view!! We spent most of our indoor time with the balcony door open to get the sight and sound of soothing ocean waves. But the best part is that the ocean is mere steps away when you leave the room! And with huge pools (indoor and out) and two big hot... More

My mom and I stayed here for a girls weekend and we were really surprised by this hotel. The room was huge! It was nice and clean and had everything we needed. I also loved that they have an on site restaurant and an ocean front bar. The hotel staff was the only negative, they were not very polite but... More

Dear Kaniecki1, Thank you for returning to the Reef, and for writing a review. Sometimes, we are remiss in not mentioning that Mako's restaurant and bar is convenient to the hotel guests and offers a broad menu of food and beverage, and is also a relaxed, beach environment. We hope to see you again soon! More

So, we have stayed at four other places over the years we have been coming to MB. Some good, some bad.

My husband and I stayed at the Reef for the winter for the third year and totally enjoyed our stay.

Stayed in a Suite and found it to be clean and maintained. Had ample accommodations. to sleep all in my party. The staff was friendly, courteous and very helpful. I had trouble with my door card, and the desk person made sure my problem was resolved. I would diffidently stay at this hotel again.

We checked into the reef for a spring break vacation with our kids. We got to the room and found it to be extremely small, outdated, unkempt, dirty, and overall just disgusting.
