Stayed in the new north tower at the Ocean Reef (1BR Condo)after staying next door at the Long Bay for many years / trips to MB. It was BRAND NEW and you can appreciate having all new furniture, applicances and fixtures..... sweet.

These two are sister properties and quite honestly it's overall a wash on which is better depending on what's important to you; cost is pretty much comparable. With their central location, onsite amenities, cleanliness and low cost there is a reason both of these proerties are ranked so high. So to compare...

OREEF PROS:
Brand new rooms (north tower), good room layout, washer / dryer IN THE ROOM. Invaluble for packing less or on a rainy day on the course. Definitely quieter w/o the parking deck right outside your room. Breakfast food and restaurant view is better.

OREEF CONS:
Resort layout isn't quite as nice. Wet area not as pretty. Exercise room (both of which are barely OK) isn't as good. Parking on street lots or their detached 3-story deck makes unload / load a bit more of a pain BUT makes the rooms much quieter. No onsite Starbucks which the Long Bay has.

Overall you really can't go wrong with either of these resorts.

I called two weeks in advance for a king size bed ...however because it was a big golfers weekend by the time I checked in all those were gone.... Parking is the the pits...I have a handicapped sticker and I had to park across the street.....and I asked for a late checkout and was told no becasue they had given them all out for the day!...all I wanted was an hour....I won't be going back to the Ocean Reef...I was not in the new part..I was in the old part... all they have done here is throw some paint on the walls and put down tiles....not upscale at all....and they have bad cable....

We visited in October 2006 and stayed in a 1 bedroom condo in the North Tower with a side view of the ocean. We were very pleased with our accommodations. The condo was nice and clean with a washer and dryer, as well as a stove & refrigerator. We also enjoyed the indoor pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at the Ocean Reef. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We will defnitely stay at the Ocean Reef again.

We loved the pool and everything about the outside at the Ocean Reef. The pool was heated so we could swim in the late evening. We also had access to the ocean anytime of the night. We stayed at a place that closed the outside pool and indoor pool at 9:00 and had to walk all around the hotel to get to the beach for a night time walk.
When I arrived at the Ocean Reef they let me view my room. The employees were very nice and helpful. It was just a great family atmosphere.

We stayed in two different rooms while we were there. we had a oceacn front room and a parlor room. The parlor room was great the view was outstanding and the room was great. The hotel staff was outstanding and since it was cold outside we enjoyed the indoor pool & lazy river. And the winter rates are great.

  • Liked — The room was so comfertable
