4/4 found this review helpful

We were greeted by name at the airport and whisked away. The hotel had arranged and included in our package transportation to and from the airport. The hotel also included bus and ferry passes for the length of our stay. These were very valuable as Taxis are expensive (gas is over $8.00 a gallon) After observing tourists handle mopeds on the wrong side of the road and reading about tourist fatalities on mopeds, I strongly recommend against traveling by this means on the Island of Bermuda.

Our room was excellent,(Oleander #345) the view and the privacy away from other rooms and venues, i.e. pools and restaurants was perfect.

There are many steps up and down throughout the hotel grounds to and from the beach, restaurants, lounges, pools, etc. and strenuous exercise for those not used to lots of ups and downs.

The food was excellent and they have meal plans that include or exclude both breakfast and dinner, we chose the breakfast option.
While the food was excellent we chose to eat around the island at different locations. One restaurant quite close and within walking distance was "Henry VIII" another in Hamilton was the "Pickled Onion" both offered a variety on their menus

There is construction going on on site but they were very aware of our comfort level and we were not deterred by it.

The weather was cool and fickle, wet and windy one moment and then bright and sunny the next. Highs were in the upper sixties and lows in the lower sixties.

When weather and temperature were cooperative kayaking and snorkeling are great bets.

“In Love with The Reefs”

2/2 found this review helpful

This was our 4th visit to the Reefs and perhaps was the best stay we've had. Despite our hesitations about the possible consequences of an ongoing renovation (which we were made perfectly aware of by the reservation agent), the staff made us feel perfectly at home and went way out of their way to provide the best service possible. From the minute we checked in, to breakfasts and dinners, to housekeeping and spa services, to our final checkout, every experience was first-rate and added totally to the overall purpose of our trip: total relaxation! We are looking forward to our 5th stay at the Reefs and beyond.

“The Reefs is better than ever .”

My wife and I returned from our stay at the Reefs less than a week ago. This was our 18th visit . I would like to state that we were fully aware that there was construction going on on the property before we started our vacation and were assurred that there would be a minimum of disruption to our stay. We were greeted as usual by the Reefs staff upon arrival and were catered to for our entire stay. For those who may wonder whether or not the construction interfeered with our visit, it DEFINATELY did not. There was a crane on site ,but it was electric and silent. We were visited daily by a manager to see that our needs were met. and to apologize for any inconvience. We wer visited by the owner, David Dodwell and the Manager , Ben Tutt on a regular basis to be sure we were comfortable. The enhancements to the property to date are great, especially the new lobby and the enlarged lounge area where there is entertainment every evening. The new dining facility is moving right along as is the new kitchen. To have to dine at Coconuts each certainly pleasant. The water views were spectacular. The wait staff and managers did a fabulous job to see that our needs were met. We plan to return to the Reefs in October, if not sooner. The Reefs is alive and well and better than ever. EWW.

“The Reefs is a perfect spot to vacation”

3/3 found this review helpful

If you ever want complete relaxation, excellent food, spectacular views, very friendly staff, great accommodations, choose The Reefs. They are now under some renovation, so the casual restaurant, Coconuts is the only one open, but they made up for that in the food and friendly atmosphere. The construction going on was fascinating to my husband and kept him occupied for hours. The construction was in no way interfering with our stay. The room was beautiful, clean and the staff kept it that way.
We completely recommend The Reefs for a relaxing vacation.
