8/10 Very good

Super friendly staff. Gorgeous view. It’s a bit run down, but for the price it’s really good. A little far from the Main Street, but they offer free rides in and out which add everything very accessible and easy. Would definitely recommend

I stayed here for 5 days and had a great time. They have free transportation to town or tours. Right on a very nice quiet clean beach. If you are a foodie you can walk to Carly for an incredible meal as well. Thanks Ulle!

2/10 Poor

I had one of the worst experiences in this property mainly because of the horrible customer service. Big waste of time and money. Avoid booking this place at all costs !

10/10 Exceptional

The views were incredible the staff was outstanding especially Ulli who has the smile of an angel. The rooms were priced very reasonable. The room I had was without a view on the lower level and could use a little updating but it was only used for sleeping so no big deal. The owner is very protective of his guest, by this I mean I had a pickup scheduled and somehow or another there was a delay. The owner drove down to the pickup location on his motorbike and made sure I was taken care of. That was service over and above.

Other than the place being hard to find, and my room smelling a little moldy … it was a great stay . Very quiet and staff was very accommodating as well as friendly

Quiet, ocean front, simple, but perfect.

Although an older hotel, its location is quiet and it has the best pool overlooking the ocean. The staff are really lovely and it was a wonderful stay.

The view from the room is amazing, after a day of island hopping you come back to a place very relaxing. The staff are so friendly, courteous and very accommodating. We had a very relaxing stay.

The pool is fantastic. The view is amazing. The staff is friendly, helpful, and eager to please their guest. You have to get to know the Owner "Olly" - him and his wife Rose are super cool host.
ERIC, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Many thanks to Uli & Rose for being excellent hosts, they made us feel like we were ‘part of the family’ The views from the balcony were spectacular, the rooms are large, have air-con and with smart TV. The shower/restroom also very spacious. We spent the evenings at the bar interacting with other guests and the hosts. There was also a good choice of delicious on the menu. We also opted for the breakfast included option. We also took advantage of the chariot/shuttle service, that took us into El Nido town and to the next beach… free of charge and included within the price. I personally recommend the Island Hopping, if you want to see some spectacular views of, and want to visit the beautiful lagoons, just ask Rose or Uli for details. They will also arrange transport too. The Reef Strand Resort is like a sparking hidden treasure, and my partner and I are already looking forward to visiting again in 2025. A special thank you to Jima, Angel, Jizreal and Jona, and all of the employees that welcomed us, took care of us and looked after us, during our stay.

So - I remember booking this reservation mainly because of the property being right on the water and the beautiful pool & hot tub. Man, did it not disappoint!! Especially rm 202, I would soo book that room or ocean front - anytime, because...WOW!! The view as soon as you open the curtains, was breathtaking and I NEVER got tired of the View! The STAFF were soooo Friendly, Informative, Accommodating and just great! They picked us up and even helped me find a parking lot for the Car Rental. (Which is great to have but parking is tough). Great Meals and Breakfast's, and I'm usually not a breakfast person but in Paradise, vacation and the energy of the area, made me want to wake up and start my day early and to have options for Breakfast was Awesome! My gf and I had a great time! Only Suggestion - Making it more able to get to and from the downtown area as the walk to and from can be a bit much after a tiring day of tours and heat and at night. It wasn't bad, about 10 min walk to and from. Yes, most people rent a Motor bike and can go to and from faster, which i would suggest and probably also get next time..but having 2 vehicle rentals was a bit much. But for pickup and drop off with luggage, the staff was VERY accommodating! Overall: I loved it! Beautiful spot, quiet - peaceful but also had just what we needed and beautiful rooms. Definitely book them again!

I had a wonderful first visit and look forward to coming back again. The owner Mr. Uli, went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, and get me to my island hopping cruise on time! Warm and friendly staff. Very helpful. Beautiful location on the beach. シ
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location! The hotel is on the beach side so you’re able to catch amazing sunrise/sunset views. The staff was very nice and super helpful in accommodating our needs and coordinating breakfast each morning as well as the island hopping tours. The breakfast was good..The rooms were good..a little rundown but for the price, it’s worth it! Overall, we were all satisfied with our stay and would recommend. They also provide roundtrip transportation from the airport.

10/10 Exceptional

The view from the rooms and the pool is exactly like you see on the pictures. It is spectacular. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. Lot of times they serve you the things you might need without asking. For example towels for your excursions.. You can conveniently book excursions with them and they provide free transportation or rent a scooter from them. Meals and cocktails available as well. We had a fantastic time.
ZSUZSANNA, 6-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great View and poor rooms

Rooms are quite cheap, small beds, water in the shower very scarce, no shower gel provided... Very limited choice for the breakfast. On the positive side, amazing view on the sea (but the beach cannot be used at all, due to the tide) 15 minutes walking from the main road, free ride until 7pm otherwise must pay 100PHP
Antonello, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

The pictures are very deceiving. Pool is dirty,never seen the filter on, the whole time we were there. It shows that the maintenance of the property is very minimal. The only thing great about the resort are the staffs. I wouldn't recommend the property to anyone. It was very disappointing.
Joselito, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms were dirty . Had used soap left in bathroom. Windows were broken and taped shut. Fire alarms missing. Very run down.
