Spacious Bungalows

I stayed in a beachfront bungalow and absolutely loved the spacious design! The room was equipped with a private outdoor shower and a beautiful bath area, which added a fun twist to my stay. I appreciated the large balcony where I could watch the sunset while enjoying a fruit platter from the fridge upon my arrival. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Unique Outdoor Experience

The outdoor bathroom was one of the highlights of my stay at Magic Reef. It added a unique touch to the experience, offering a truly tropical vibe. The huge outdoor shower was refreshing after a day at the beach, and it felt special to be surrounded by lush nature while enjoying my bath time!

Amazing Yoga Classes

During my stay, I took part in the yoga classes offered two mornings a week. The location was perfect, overlooking the ocean. It was such a rejuvenating way to start my day, and the peaceful atmosphere added to the tranquility of my holiday. A must-try for any guest!

The outdoor lounging area of Magic Reef was fantastic! With various choices of seating including hammocks and sun loungers, it created perfect spots to relax and enjoy the sun. It felt cozy and inviting, making it an ideal place to unwind with a book or enjoy the beautiful island scenery.

My stay at Magic Reef Bungalows was nothing short of extraordinary! The bungalows are beautifully decorated and incredibly clean, and the level of service from the staff made me feel right at home. The location is perfect for stunning sunsets and easy access to restaurants and snorkeling spots. However, the beach right in front has quite a few rocks, which could be a downside for some. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better escape from the winter chill!

Overall, my stay at Magic Reef Bungalows was nothing short of a wonderful escape. The location is perfect for a quiet getaway, with spectacular views and beautifully maintained grounds. The rustic charm of the bungalow made for a unique experience. However, I did face some issues with the air conditioning during the first few nights, and that dampened my experience a bit. Despite this, the incredible hospitality from the staff and the stunning surroundings more than made up for it.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the quiet atmosphere and beautiful beachfront views. The bungalows are well-designed for relaxation, and the landscaping adds a nice touch of nature.
