    “The Reef View Hotel was amazing I have to say, we were blown away by what was on offer for breakfast. The evening meals were lovely at the reef pool bar although lacked a little variety for vegetarians, but this was not a problem. The staff worked tirelessly you are all fantastic and hardworking, constantly cleaning,cooking and wiping those tables. The room was beautiful and very large and very clean. Bed was very comfortable but I do like a pillow my head sinks into. We loved the flexibility between different hotels that you could use which was great. I would certainly recommend Sail Hotel for an evening meal although they weren’t very good at Old Fashioned and Negroni 🥴 but the Reef View Hotels were fabulous 😁👍 I would recommend getting a Golf Buggy but only for one day as wants you’ve been around the island that’s it and you will do it all in a day. They do green bus service which takes you anywhere on the island for free.”
