We loved The Reef! Visited: April 2008 |
| Posted by jnjntx |

My husband and I recently returned from our visit to The Reef. We were the first all-inclusive guests, and were pleasantly surprised.
The drinks were excellent, and the food was great! We enjoyed watching The Barefoot Man, also.
The staff was great, also. They knew us by name almost immediately.
Our room was spacious and always clean. We look forward to our next trip to The Reef. |

the Reef is real "paradise found". Visited: April 2008 |

Our stay at The Reef was a breathtaking adventure to say the least.
The staff at The Reef could have been hand picked by my wife and me. They were super efficient, and arranged all requests with precision. Our condo was always immaculate and fresh.
The food fantastic, and the clear turquoise water was surely made in Heaven.
We will return again this year and hopefully many years to come. |

We love our yearly vacation at the Reef. Visited: March 2008 |

We will be staying at the Reef this coming weekend for seven days. It is our yearly vacation - which we love.
All the members of the staff are friendly, and always extend the island hospitality.
Our kids start asking two months before we go: "How much longer 'til Cayman!?" |

It was heaven on earth! Visited: February 2008 |

My family and I just returned from a week stay at The Reef. With three small kids, it isn't always easy to find a good blend of relaxation (for us), fun activities (for them), a great beach and sun, and plenty of room. The Reef offered all of that and more.
Our room was wonderful with an incredible unobstructed view to the sea. When our infant is older, we will have to move into a two-bedroom suite. But for now, the one-bedroom offered plenty of room.
We sat on the beach every day while the kids played in the sand or the pool for hours. We also ventured to Rum Point a few times just for a change of pace - and that was lovely as well. By the end of the day, we were usually exhausted so we ate almost every evening at the bar.
The food was very good - especially the Mahi! Yes, it was somewhat expensive, but so was the rest of the island so you have to plan for that in advance.
Fosters and Hurleys were good places to go for basic breakfast and lunch items so you can afford to splurge for dinner and drinks.
We thought this vacation was perfect, and we will definitely be coming back next year. In fact, we are seriously considering the investment option so we can come back every year! |

This is one great place. Visited: February 2008 |

We just returned from five wonderful days at the Reef.
We arrived at the airport on time, and rented a car from Andy's. It's probably a good idea to reserve a car ahead. There were a couple of people beside us who didn't, and there were no cars to be had.
We stopped at Fosters for groceries, and we were off. We also went to Hurley's grocery a couple of days later - and both were great stores.
We had rented a deluxe studio, but were upgraded to a one-bedroom for some reason. No one ever said why. What a wonderful suite! Although, we didn't see the deluxe studio.
I think now I would pay the extra for the one-bedroom. You get a full kitchen, which we loved. We made all of our meals and ate on our balcony overlooking the ocean. We only ate out once-on our half day trip to Georgetown.
We went snorkeling every day right in front. It was awesome. There were no crowded beaches, and there was always an open beach chair and plenty of shade if you wanted.
Like a lot of reviews indicated before, I don't think this is a place for someone who wants to be entertained all the time. It is a place to go sit on the beach, relax, walk on the beach or take your rented car for a ride and explore the many beach spots around.
Although there were a few night time activities, and I think Morritts has some night things going on as well. You can rent kayaks, wave runners and other things at Morritts.
The resort and suite were spotless. All in all, it was a perfect vacation getaway.

I enjoyed Cayman happiness at The Reef Resort. Visited: January 2008 |

If you truly want to get away, this is the place.
Here you get all the amenities and none of the "busyness". It is quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. It is everything an island vacation should be.

I spent a joyful week at the Reef. Visited: November 2007 |
| Posted by britrink |
 |
I came to the Caymans for my son's wedding, and had the most wonderful week at the Reef. The resort exceeded my expectations.
The one-bedroom suite was spotless, and beautifully decorated with every convenience. The beach was amazing - to step out onto the patio right on the beach each morning was heaven.
I could have stayed forever. The staff was friendly staff, and the resort was beautiful.
I don't often visit the same place twice, but the Reef will be my exception. I will definitely be back! |

It was fan - fun - tastic! Visited: November 2007 |
| Posted by w9cgi |

The staff was outstanding - every single one. The accommodation is a steal at such a bargain price.
There was no hassle to buy condo - they asked only once.
The food, beverages, etc. were all top notch (thanks Val). Even the boss, Lawrence, was a down to earth nice guy.
Thanks folks! I'm on my way again in October of 2008. |

We are going back this weekend. Visited: September 2007 |

We, like others, return every year for as long as we can!
This year we're looking forward to watching the coral spawn. The protected snorkeling with plenty of depth and life inside the reef makes this an ideal location for those who just view the rest of their life as a surface interval.
For those who prefer glitzy shopping, and making sure the right people see them having 'fun', I suspect this may be a disappointment.
For those who wish to stay dry, absorb the local culture and history, or impose their spoiled children on others, this is definitely not the perfect spot.
If you wish to enjoy the peace and quiet of the sand and surf without fear of crime and solicitors on the streets, the east end is the place to go.
If you want to still retain the comforts of civilization without being pampered by tip-seeking hustlers, come to the Reef.
I have even posted a few negative comments on this site, back when I lacked the maturity to recognize a good thing when I have it in hand. |

We came back for our one-year aniversary. Visited: September 2007 |
| Posted by denaandsmitty |

When we wanted to get married, we called The Reef Resort's wedding consultant, Linda, and told her we wanted to get married on her dock. We requested a very, very informal wedding, with no family, and no flowers. Linda and Sandra honored our wishes to the tee.
We said our vows on 9/29/06 with Rev. Meghoo, after which we "took the plunged" into the ocean, swam to shore and toasted our day at Castro's. It was our perfect day!
Last year, we had to return for our first anniversary.
We have been to many different tropical islands, and all were wonderful experiences. But to come back to The Reef Resort is absolutely Heaven on earth!
This year, we cannot wait for our second anniversary, so we are returning for a week in May.
As all the other reviews have reflected, this place is for total relaxation and restoration. Alaos, the people who work at The Reef have to be some of the nicest people you will ever meet! |
