The Reef Hotel And Residences

“Good value for money and no annoying checklists”

I've now stayed at the Reef 3x and have already booked my 4th stay. Five reasons why I like it and 2 suggestions for improvement: Likes 1.It's located on Waterfront Road which is a much livelier and more pleasant area than Dewey Ave where I used to stay in Mango Valley 2.While there are very few … more

I've now stayed at the Reef 3x and have already booked my 4th stay. Five reasons why I like it and 2 suggestions for improvement: Likes 1.It's located on Waterfront Road which is a much livelier and more pleasant area than Dewey Ave where I used to stay in Mango Valley 2.While there are very few staff (vs most other Subic hotels with too many staff but most without a clue what to do), they are efficient, pleasant and know what they're doing 3.If you book at the hotel, it's a mere P2300 for a park facing room. That's less expensive than booking online and less expensive than any other decently-rated hotel in the area 4.Room as fridge and it gets cold quickly (some of fridges at Mango Valley takes hours to get cool) 5.Lots of natural light in the rooms and in the entire hotel Potential improvements: 1.Rooms have the card system where power goes off when card out of slot. This means after 10 hrs of cycling, I come back to a warm room vs being able to leave a/c on at low level while I'm gone 2.Rooms starting to look rather worn. Some fresh paint wouldn't go amiss. This has been a great budget choice for me when all I need is a place to crash overnight when I'm cycling for two days.

“A Good Place to Stay”

I booked their family room with Ocean view. The rooms are good with balcony that having a good view of the dock and the ocean itself.

I booked their family room with Ocean view. The rooms are good with balcony that having a good view of the dock and the ocean itself. The room is spacious when it comes to size and it is really good for a long stay. You can prepare and cook your food in the hotel. It is also accessible to restaurants, bars, spa, and 711 shops wherein you can have your normal needs. In front of the hotel is a park wherein if you want to have a run probably the best place to stay. Overall the hotel is ideal to stay for both business and pleasure. They have a very nice playground for kids to spend time with. Though here's my comments that needs to be taken care. 1. The hotel has no elevator 2. The hotel has no swimming pool and swimming on the ocean is not permitted as well. 3. I don't find slippers inside the room. 4. The late check out is maximum 1:00pm but they gave us until 2PM which I really appreciate it. I can reccomend for all the travellers to stay on this hotel the people are nice and hospitable. I will surely be back on this hotel.

“Could be good for business travelers but not so for family vacation”

Overall, it was ok because of its location. It is along Waterfront Boulevard so it is accessible to dining places and also to the boulevard to watch sunset, have a walk, bike or jog.

Overall, it was ok because of its location. It is along Waterfront Boulevard so it is accessible to dining places and also to the boulevard to watch sunset, have a walk, bike or jog. There is a 7-11 store just at the ground floor of the hotel so very convenient too. The big minus point is that the hotel did not have elevator. Very difficult for my 89-year old mom. When I booked the hotel online, I already sent a message that we have a senior with us and accessibility is very important. I asked that we be given a room at the ground floor. Turns out, there is no hotel room at the ground floor. All rooms are from second floor and up. The big plus point is that the hotel staff were so helpful and attentive. They helped carry our bags to our rooms. And they immediately changed one of the rooms when (upon our return from dinner), we discovered the room to be heavily infested with red ants. The immediately gave us a new family room near our other rooms. There is no free breakfast (contrary to what is published here). They do not serve breakfast at all. No swimming pool. Parking is free and just in front of the hotel.
