My wife and I decided on the last minute to include Cebu in our Asian Travel visiting from Canada. A fried of mine who is base out if Cebu City and works as Medical Director offered his corporate contact at another 5 star resort. The discounted price was actually lower than The Reef. However, getting answers from our inquiries went by unanswered or very delayed. In spite of the attractive pricing, we decided to look for another property. Mr Joshua Lumapas was excellent in his response time and offered suggestions on how to make our visit even more memorable. The client engagement was quick, concise, and very approachable. He made its very easy decision to choose The Reef at that point. Upon arrival at the property, I had the pleasure of meeting and engaging with Mr. Glenn Ylanan and Miss Rose Brusas. It set the tone foe what would be a very memorable weekend. Both Mr Ylalan and Miss Brusas made my wife and I very welcome by their engaging smile and wonderful service. We wished we had more time at the resort to enjoy the view and the hospitality. All 3 stellar employees are excellent brand ambassadors of your company. While a lot of what they exhibited is innate to their personalities, I am sure the training and culture provided by Management has a lot to doing with it. We look forward to our next visit and experiencing more of the professionalism and welcome from employees like Glenn, Rose, and Joshua.

The hotel is beautiful with very friendly and helpful staff. John from concierge and Rosie at the front desk made our stay even more memorable. The beach and pool are stunning, the breakfast had a good variety and good food and the hotel offers a free shuttle into Newtown in the evenings which was perfect for dinner. We would definitely come back to stay.

Dirt parking for guests. Swimming pool groutlines are missing, glass shower door does NOT open all the way. Thanks to the staff who upgraded our deluxe room to a junior suite, but I’m glad it was free because i dont think it’s worth the advertised price of the room.
