Flee1518 TripAdvisor review

The Reef House was recommended and booked by my travel agent with Journey South. This hotel is advertised as a luxury hotel and we booked the Verandah King rooms. The features advertised was a stunning four poster King bed, which we did not get. The hotel is really old and falling apart. My desk lamp had an extension cord running across one of the couches. The rooms are in bad need of a remodel. Eveything in that hotel is old. Our driver mentioned it was the first hotel in palm cove, and if we are in the new section or the old one. i said the old one, how is the new section. He laughed and said it is newer, not new. We went to dinner and had the dinner charged to my sister's room. We found out they charged the dinner to my older sister as well as my younger sister. It was a good thing they checked their bill. Also, this hotel asked for a credit card to provide a deposit for incidentals, as with all hotels, but this one kept the deposit and have not returned it to our credit cards, and it has been a week since we left. My sister has to call the credit card company to complain. I would not book this hotel nor advise any one to book this hotel. I think they are in desperate need of money and kept our deposits to make interest. Sad.

JoeyBooma TripAdvisor review

Upon arrival my partner and I were greeted warmly and with open-hearted sincerity. Our allocated room was a king room with balcony with kitchen amenities, a double bathroom, ample and comfortable seating both indoors and out on the balcony. The bed was soft and spacious, the pillows ample. It became our home away from home for two weeks...and our refuge. The choice of pools added to our options and our daily delight. The complimentary meals were without doubt delicious and the spa massage, cocktail making lesson and wine tasting which came gratis with the package we chose were both unexpected and truly appreciated. The included breakfasts were substantial though due to the length of our stay a change in the menu would have been welcomed. Unfortunately there were days when the bread was stale and virtually inedible. Some days it was perfect. A small but not insignificant detail which might be addressed. The staff across the board were a wonderful presence at the Reef House...helpful, personable and attentive. It was great to see such cultural diversity and to have the opportunity to get to know something about the background of each. Though certainly not a cheap holiday it was certainly one which we'll remember with fondness and will recommend to others.

The Reef House, Palm Cove. Wonderful stay

FF1W TripAdvisor review

We stayed here over the Easter break and the location is incredible. Upon checking in we were greeted with a smile and down if the inclusions. The property has a truly relaxed, tropical feel with an undeniable touch of luxury. The pools were absolutely exceptional — beautifully maintained, inviting, and, best of all, adults-only. It made for an incredibly peaceful atmosphere that’s rare to find. The service was friendly and professional, and the overall ambience of the hotel was serene and charming. However, guests should be aware of the rather exuberant 15% surcharge that applies on public holidays. It did feel steep and is something to factor in when booking your stay. That said, the overall experience was fantastic. The Reef House delivers a uniquely tranquil escape, perfect for couples or anyone wanting a quiet, upscale retreat. We would definitely return — just maybe a little more mindful of the dates next time!

Bonjour FF1W, Thank you very much for taking the time to express your positive feedback following your recent visit to the unforgettable Reef House. Our unique adults retreat offers an incredibly peaceful atmosphere in a splendid beachfront environment where all guests are treated like family members! We are thrilled to hear that you are already planning on coming back to our little slice of paradise in paradise! Tropical regards Cédric Lootvoet Luxury Concierge & Your Reef House Family

jeffgarnet2015 TripAdvisor review

We thoroughly enjoyed a week stay at the Reef House . The accommodation was spacious & of a high standard. We made full use of our package and the extras that were included such as yoga classes & the bikes. Everyday included canapes while we relaxed around the 2 swimming pools. Cant speak highly enough of the breakfast & dinner options and the fantastic staff who are a credit to the Reef House. Palm Cove was a pleasant surprise and we spent our whole time within the township sampling some great dining options and beach walks and swims at the patrolled beach area. Would highly recommend the bike ride from PalmCove to Trinity Beach which did on 4 days and the sunrise yoga class . Look forward to returning in the near future.

Bonjour jeffgarnet2015, Thank you very much for your excellent feedback on TripAdvisor following your recent visit to the remarkable Reef House. Staying in our adorable adults retreat is like being in another world where you are treated like a celebrity in a very peaceful environment! We know it will not be long before you come back home away from home! Tropical regards Cédric Lootvoet Luxury Concierge & Your Reef House Family

Christina J TripAdvisor review

This is our second stay at the Reef House Palm Cove. It’s the sole reason that we returned to the area. We love everything about it. The style and vibe of the place is next level in every little detail - ambience, food, Aboriginal cultural education from Sean, marine biology education from Glenn and every single friendly staff member who made our stay so welcoming and enjoyable.

Bonjour Christina J, Thank you very much for your superb feedback on TripAdvisor following your recent second visit to the charming Reef House. Our home away from home for adults has such a special vibe with amazing international team members who are always happy to help with a particular attention to detail! We know it will not be long before you come back for your third rejuvenation in paradise! Tropical regards Cédric Lootvoet Luxury Concierge & Your Reef House Family
