A decent budget resort with friendly staff. Lots of building work still going on in the area but it's not too disruptive. Two brown outs but no generator back up.

Worst experience ever. Dirty, stinky, smelly place with health and safety hazards. Never ever stayed in such horrible conditions as this place. It is in the middle of a construction site. There is no access to the beach. There is no running hot water, AC is from the 60s, emitting a foul smell when is on, windows don’t open, power outage is normal. You fear for your life staying here, don’t waste your money.

Loved the quiet location but close enough to walk to busy white sand beach. Nearby convenience store, neighborhood pub with good food.
Staff were excellent and our room was clean. My wife enjoyed the kitchen to cook her native foods.
Hot showers and a good ac were appreciated.
Great walking beach.

Electricity was on and off the 4days we stayed. They advertised near beach but the beach was strewn with construction equipment. No real beach area. Had to walk to get to beach.

Not recommended
The only positive thing is that this hotel is close to kitesurfing schools and beach
Negatives: the streets leading to hotel were full with sewerage water for the 8 days I was there, matress with no springs and uncomfortable, first night had a close by party and I couldn’t sleep

The staff were very helpful and the accommodation was very nice. It was directly next to a beach, but this time of year is rather windy on this side and was used for kite surfing. The white sand relaxing beaches are on the other side of the island but this is only a 15 minute walk or 5 minute tuk tuk ride to station 1 beach. Our stay at Reef Retreat was very pleasant but there was a couple of power outages that was not really acknowledged or explained. I would recommend this accommodation if you would like a clean, modern, quiet location that is not on the main tourist area.

Worst resort stay in Boracay
Our worst 4-night stay in Boracay. We selected the resort for their purported garden setting but which turned out to be a poorly maintained and uneven patch of grass. Hotel entrance was not lit and security guard was stationed inside the resort instead of at entrance. Aircondition was noisy n heater did not work in first room. Overall a very disappointing experience
The resort is amazing. The staff are so nice and helpful. Room cleaned every day. The only thing is they do not have a generator. We stayed here for a week and in that time the electricity in Boracay went off 3 times. This is very common in Boracay. Nearly everywhere else, even the worst of accommodations had a generator but we were in darkness with a cold shower and no aircon/fan. We spent one night getting ready in the dark with just a little torch. We paid a lot of money to stay here and would expect better facilities. Other than that the place is perfect. Its only a 10 minute walk to White Beach and it is nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of it.

저렴한 가격에 비해 만족스러운 숙소였습니다.
비수기에 예약해서 그런지 1박에 5만원도 안되게 예약했는데 가격대비 만족스러운 숙소였습니다. 디몰까지는 도보로 10분정도 소요되는데 처음에는 60페소주고 트라이시클을 이용했으나 나중에는 길이 익숙해져서 그냥 걸어다녔어요. 걸어다닐만 합니다. 숙소 바로 앞이 블라복비치라서 호핑이나 패러세일링할때는 완전 편했구요, 집 앞에 트라이시클도 많아서 위치때문에 불편한 것은 없었습니다. 비누 제외한 어매니티, 헤어드라이어, 조식은 제공되지 않으니 참고하세요. 직원들도 매우 친절했습니다. 아침 5시에 출발이었는데 두분이 나와서 짐도 들어주고 픽업차량도 같이 기다려주고 해서 매우 고마웠습니다.

좋습니다
스테이션2 화이트비치로는 걸어서 10분 거리고, 수상레저의 중심인 볼라복 해변 바로 옆이어서 교통은 상당히 괜찮다고 생각합니다.
가격도 합리적이고, 청소도 깨끗하고, 온수 잘 나오고 좋았어요. 기본적으로 호텔에 있어야 할 금고, 냉장고, TV는 다 있네요.
다만 비누는 주지만 샴푸는 안 주니 참고하세요~
호텔 이용 시 2000페소 기본 보증금 맡겨야됩니다~
