The Reef House Adults Retreat

I can’t express how much I love the reef house.. the staff are beyond incredible! They make your stay even better! The signature inclusions are soooo good. Press a button while you’re at the pool and you can order drinks and food to be brought right to you. Cold towels and sorbet brought to you by the pool. Fresh juice of the day, each day.. Cocktail making classes, wine appreciation class, yoga, water aerobics, fishing rods and if you catch a day the chef will cook it for you, use of their bikes to go exploring. Theres a pillow menu for your bed, the beds are comfortable. A spa on site to treat yourself to a massage. 2 pools to choose from, the large tranquility pool which one end is super deep, 2.6m (i think) at one end and a nice shallow end, then you have the mineral pool with a jacuzzi. An amazing restaurant, every meal was incredible! You can opt to eat there or have the meal delivered to the comfort of your room! I really can’t fault the reef house. The staff, the food, the amenities.. This is the perfect kid free getaway, to relax in complete silence and zen! You honestly won’t regret it. You don’t even have to leave the resort. But if you do, they are in a great location and right on the beach! I will be going back asap!!

What an incredible place! The amenities were amazing and the staff were so friendly and welcoming . They couldn’t be more helpful. The food at the restaurant delectable, you must try their seafood platter, it won’t disappoint. I would highly recommend a stay in the Reef House and we cannot wait to return.

Feeling thoroughly relaxed after our 3 night stay - pool areas quiet (plenty of reading done) with an abundance of sun lounges and shade (or sun, if that’s your thing). Staff were fantastic, very welcoming and friendly. We loved the personal touches of being shown to our room and given the lowdown on where everything was around the hotel and in our room, so no holiday time wasted figuring out aircon or where are the light switches. Rooms are very comfortable and roomier than other hotels we’ve stayed at. The only thing to improve on would be a little sprucing up of the bathrooms - extremely clean, large and functional, just a little outdated. Food selection was varied (light meals to substantial) and delicious, something for everyone - would highly recommend the seafood platter. A great variety of activities and use of the bikes for exploring the other local beaches. We will not stay anywhere else at Palm Cove now that we’ve discovered The Reef Hotel. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making our 30th wedding anniversary a memorable celebration. See you all again soon.

What a great few days to unwind after Christmas! Lay around the pool and spoilt by the team and couldn’t recommend higher! Our new favourite spot. Very few places we would go back to and yet this one ticked all the boxes and are looking at the next trip.

What a blissful place to stay! We had such a relaxing time, we lost track of time and even days! The pool was perfect, the room was comfortable and luxurious and the staff so friendly. Lovely meals at the restaurant helped to make it easy to never leave. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be back again.

We booked for my sister & I for her 50th birthday. We were met with a friendly welcome & refreshing drink. Inclusions were explained & we were taken to our room where our luggage had been delivered. Very clean & well furnished room with a lovely courtyard where we enjoyed reading & relaxing when not at the pools. Breakfasts were very tasty & loved the juices & hot chocolates which we occasionally took with us to the beach to enjoy with the view after dining. Beds were comfortable & great pillows. Self service Laundry was handy. Yoga, aqua aerobics, stretch & breath & cocktail making were all enjoyable activities. The staff are amazing, very friendly & the best in the business. Butler service for drinks & food by the pool were a highlight along with the afternoon gelato, the punch & canapés. Can do as much or as little as you like. We will definitely be back & highly recommend to others. (Apologies if photos are sideways or upside down).
