Great Place
The Reef Resort was ideally situated for us - both to explore Taupu and the surrounding area. Our studio room was very well equipped and the heated pool was a great bonus. For us the bathroom was a bit dated but that would be our only negative comment.

This was such a lovely place to stay. Parking can be a bit difficult if you have a large vehicle but the hosts offered alternatives. The staff were super lovely and helpful, especially at the front desk. I would love to return again as it was such a great experience.

Was a beautiful view from room, room was superb, just something to think about if you are upstairs is the light that was streaming through the glass panel next to door into room, was like day light all night until we both had had enough at 2am....and I needed to exit room and go to foyer and shut main door that was left open at top of stairs, shame really as we were exhausted from our travels and needed the sleep.

The perfect spot for our wee family to stay for a weekend away. Kids loved the heated pools and the room was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Super service from Wendy at the front desk letting us check in an hour early on a miserable day. Will be back
