This would be a 5 star review if they had given us the room we reserved. We reserved a room with two queen beds, but when we arrived they told us they were out of those rooms and put us in a room with only one queen bed and a "sofa bed". Sofa bed is quotes because this "bed" was only about 4 feet long and was apparently made for kids. I'm only 5'4" and I still couldn't fit in the bed. It's extremely rude and disrespectful to us as guests to purposefully oversell rooms and not hold our reservations. It's misleading and false advertisement to sell something that isnt available. That's taking advantage of the fact that we as guests have no other options to go to another hotel once we arrive. They initially told us we could move to the correct room on Saturday, then on Saturday they said it would be "Sunday or Monday" (spoiler alert: it was Monday). It's also disrespectful of our time, because it takes time out of our schedule to pack everything, check out for the day, then unpack again, when this time could've been used doing something else during our vacation. Other than that, there were no major complaints. I didn't love that they hotel was pushing time share packages, and I felt the concierge wasn't very helpful. Also the rooms towards the back of the hotel are very noisy due to the bar across the street and sometimes loud patrons at the rooftop bar. But the hotel is very clean & the service is A .

My experience at the reef was excellent. They did over book my room so I was unable to stay in my deluxe master suite for the first 2 nights but giving the accommodations they made for me it was well worth it, but everyone may not have the luck that I had. If booking I would recommend calling and verifying that they have your style room available after you get you confirmation. Other then that almost all of the staff was friendly and polite.

The property was nice I finally stayed here after looking at it several times. The rooftop pool is fun and gets pretty lively. The first time everyones really nice but then the male waiters up there can have some pretty nasty attitudes and make remarks about tipping, gestures, waving you off with their hands. So that part was pretty disappointing. Otherwise everything was great. Good food up at the pool and the restaurant. Lobby bar stays open til 1am, a short walk to the beach, walkable right by 5th Avenida… the spa was amazing, that hydrotherapy was excellent. I accepted the breakfast presentation to get the free massage, no big issue with that at all, my salesguy was nice and respectful and didnt get too aggressive. I would return!

The staff was nice and accommodating. There was a lot of noise due to construction and if you’re on the 4th floor you can hear the music from the rooftop and they will go late into the night too. Service at the restaurant was somewhat slow when ordering food but it was delicious.

Let’s be clear this is a hotel, not a resort! Location is great very close to downtown fifth avenue area and the room was very spacious. The staff at the rooftop are very unprofessional and the service is terrible. It takes thirty minutes until someone waits on your table, then another thirty minutes to receive already prepared food. They make you sign a bill for your order which is all inclusive. One member of the wait staff told me to “give him a tip” in which I did not, but once I checked out there was a balance for a tip that I did not approve. Water in the shower does not get hot, AC does not stay cold, no hooks in the bathroom to hang anything, pool is small, food is mediocre, and the restaurant is inconveniently placed in the center of the hotel rooms, you can hear the plates being stacked from your room. There are no towels in the fitness center and this hotel does not offer room service. My room was cleaned two times out of the 5 days I stayed. Very clean hotel; but I do not recommend.

Rotorhammering and construction below our room. No relaxation noise, noise, noise. From dishes clanking to rotor hammering and construction or the repetitive beat on the rooftop same songs playing over and over. Huge headache. Rooms smelt like mold. Spa no hot water jacuzzis all luke warm with one cold plunge. When asked to move they want you to pay more vacation cost way to much and not even beach front. Chairs and benches in restaurant all stained. Roof leaked in gym. Sink in room sprayed us every time we used it. I can’t make all the bad stuff up! Unreal!
