I thought the room was roomy and comfortable. Best hotel air conditioner ever by far! Was great that the owner lived on site and the hotel had such a warm family feel. Would have preferred more water pressure and a plug on both sides of the bed.

We really enjoyed our stay at Shark Reef. We hope to come back again and try the cottages out. Our room was neat and clean, gave plenty of room for us and the AC worked REALLY well, haha. The courtyard is neat and clean and offers many different activities. The staff was outstanding, courteous, friendly and super helpful. They're a huge part of the reason we'll be coming back here. Plus their prices were excellent!

Was okay. Needs more service

Room was clean bathroom are super small. Not alot of mirrors. Refrigerator door wouldnt stay shut without propping something infront of it. Did not tidy room or change out towels daily. Take out your own trash. Never stayed anywhere that did not come in daily. Air-conditioning was cold. Pool and bbq area was beautiful.

The stay of a lifetime

Our hotel stay was perfect. The friendliness and helpfulness started with our check in. We needed extra pillows and were handed some right away. The room smelled clean, no insects and the bed was super comfortable. The stay was quiet and there were nice chairs outside the rooms to relax in. The property itself was very clean and kept up. The hot tub and pool were well maintained. Checkout was bittersweet as we didnt want to leave but it was very professional. Definitely dont hesitate to book your next stay here!
