Honestly, i really didnt love this place. The service was extremely inconsistent, i dont want to detract from the staff that were lovely- mainly those on security and the door but many just couldn't have cared less. The food was absymal and 10x expensive as ordering better food on grab. New years celebration was pretty dissapointing, i would not recommend this place and would not stay again, not nearly enough sunbeds at the beach or the pool for the amount of guests and horribly managed breakfast queue

Very clean hotel. Nice big room and bathroom. Pool and beach area is nice and breakfast choices were great. The only thing that lets it down is the location. I walked to the Newtown main area and it was through some dodgy areas. Not much else to do within walking distance

I was deeply impressed by the outstanding hospitality and professional service provided by all the staff, led by Glen. The bed was very comfortable and the entire hotel was clean & well-maintained thoroughly satisfied. There was a small mixup for the Airport pickup, in which Glen quickly set right by providing shuttle service back for our departure flight. The staff assisted us for a tour by contacting the provider even though we didn’t register our tour through the hotel. The staff was very helpful, Glen greeted us every morning for breakfeast and even provided hotel nurse service to my wife when she was stung by jellyfish on our tour. We will definitely come back to your hotel. Thank you very much for making our first Cebu trip memorable. Miller Family Forgot to mention the Breakfast buffet was fabulous Make sure to snorkel in the hotel beach, there is a lot of sea life and the staff will provide you with breadcrumbs to feed the fish as you enjoy your water activities.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Incredible Stay at Reef Island Resort I had an amazing experience at Reef Island Resort. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed and taken care of. The energy here is all good vibes — everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. A special shout-out to Chay and Hannah, who went above and beyond. Their warmth, professionalism, and kindness stood out and truly made my stay memorable. They are absolute stars. Thank you, Reef Island Resort, for an unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I had an excellent time here. The staff was exceptional and the room was amazing. The location is a ways away from stuff but I got a free lift to Mactan uptown and using grab to get back was easy. The pool and beach area was amazingly tended to. I was very impressed with this property.
