It was a wonderful stay at Reef Retreat. Quiet, efficient staff, housekeeping and owners. First room I ever stayed in when the outlets do not go out of power when you remove the card. Practical to cahrge your camera and other appliances. The only drawback was the soft matress but I believe this ccould have been changed, should I have... More

Its housekeeping was efficient. We got fresh towels/was-cloths everyday and the bed was made-up daily. The room's ambiance was quite relaxing (it looked pretty romantic, too bad my boyfriend wasn't on the trip with me. haha). The bathroom was well-designed and we encountered no drainage problem. The balcony with 2 chairs was pretty functional, too (for reading, using my laptop,... More

If you want to windsurf or kitesurf and be right where the action is, this is the place to stay. It's not a 5* resort but if it's all about being on the water, you don't need anything more. The rooms are clean and more than adequate; the kite surf centre is in the garden, with the windsurf centre next... More

We stayed in a Deluxe Suite and it was very well appointed. Fully self contained - self catering for a long stay would be no problem at all, although we only stayed 4 nights. Excellent bathroom and comfortable bed. It is located on Bulabog Beach which s heaven if you are a kite boarder - I'm not but they are... More

The accommodation is very nice , the service of the local staff is very friendly . Beware to pay in advance for accommodation , any small change you will lose every cent of it. My advice to you is: book a day or two , if you like the beaches ( I did not like Windsurfing there) extend it -... More

Immediately across the road from Bulabog beach, with both a Kitesurf and Windsurf centre just steps away, the Reef Retreat is in a perfect spot if you're planning on an active holiday. It's not too isolated, but it feels miles away from the overcrowded, hectic White Beach. The room was spacious and very clean, with lovely touches like fresh flowers.... More

A really nice hotel with a good atmosphere. A very good location if you want to surf or you dont want to stay at the hectic White Beach. Its right on the surferbeach and only 7 min walk from White Beach. More

I was recommended Reef Retreat by a friend as a kitesurfing base for Bulabog beach in Boracay. From experience, on this side of the island, you expect things to be a bit basic, but Reef Retreat really is a treat. Clean, spacious and within about 30m of the beach - the service is really good! More

The location of the hotel is not as difficult to find as some have said. We've managed to get back to the resort with the trikes with no issues at all. If they did not know the resort, just tell them Bulabog Beach, turn at Station 1 from the main road (because there's another turn leading to Bulabog Beach at... More

We stayed in one of the new suites which was super spacious & included cooking facilities which was very handy for breakfast & a lunch snack (and meant we didn't need to spend large chunks of the day in restaurants & cafes). The staff were all very helpful and went out of their way to offer advice when requested &... More
