Great view on the beach. We all had grilled fish of the day. Service was slow but the food was good Sweet potato fries are purple, not orange. My girlfriend had the Mac and cheese as a side and side it was the best she's...had on the island. We'd go back if you're in the area. We were going to snorkel after lunch but the water was rough and full of seaweed this day.More

Great food and easy atmosphere. Good drinks as well, both cocktails and milkshakes. We went twice because it was so good. First pizza and then burgers. Great spot with beach access.

Our meal was delicious! The fish fingers were fresh, crunchy, and flavorful. Great location by the water and super convenient to get to the airport. Knocked one star for the mixed drinks.

Unfortunately we ate here on our way to the airport. It was probably the best meal of the week. I had the octopus with Mac n cheese and a salad. My wife had a Chicken Roti with a salad. Both were excellent. The service was...great! I with we would’ve found this place earlier. The only negative were the loud obnoxious American tourists from Sandals that came in demanding to be served right away so they wouldn’t miss their plane. They were treated with the same kindness as we were. (Yes, we are Americans too, but the opposite of loud, obnoxious, and drunk)More

We spent the last few days of our St Lucia holiday at The Reef. The rooms were modern, clean and comfortable, food was excellent, service was friendly and efficient, prices were reasonable - what more could one want? A perfect location right on the beach!...Next time I'll plan to stay longer at The Reef, to explore the southern part of this beautiful island. Thanks, guys!More

We had the good fortune of coming across this lovely restaurant. Very close to the airport, the service is fast and friendly with freshly made local food that was excellent. There is a menagerie of cats and dogs which they care for (unfortunately lots.of stray...animals in St Lucia) and are very friendly and helps when you are missing your own pets! The view is fantastic with kite and wind surfers against the backdrop of the Maria Islands.More

Went twice on this trip. Both times, and in other years, service is on island time and food is consistently well presented and delicious. Literately right on the beach, under a canopy of broad leaf trees, sipping your favourite beverage, how could you go wrong.

Above average spot. Well positioned near the kite-surfing school. Honest food, pleasant ambiance, cold drinks. The best on the beach by far but nothing extraordinary.

We came here for our first cappuccinos on St Lucia - after several days’ withdrawal - and good ones they were too, drunk while sitting in surprisingly comfortable trendy curved wooden chairs under the trees at the back of the beach. Reviews say Reef also...does excellent meals which sadly we didn’t need at the time. We actually had an evening meal next door at Island Breeze a day or so before, whose great advantage was that it was an extra but crucial 20-30 yards further away from an incredibly noisy and yet amazingly popular beach bar the other side of Reef which pumped out unfeasibly loud drum and bass-heavy music all evening. Thankfully the bar hadn’t yet opened as we had our coffees. The very friendly waitress said it would open soon. She and her colleagues must be incredibly patient, and the owner of an attractive place like Reef must be extraordinarily tolerant - they deserve far better neighbours.More

An excellent venue. Great location between airport and vieux fort and on the waterfront. Staff very helpful and charming. You will not be wanting for great quality food especially the ribs. A great place to relax for days or weeks. It also had the benefit...of a 5* kitesurf school, where you can rent gear or sailboards. I say 5* because the instructor are excellent and great people to spend time with. I will definitely be backMore

Our flight was delayed and the woman at the car hire office recommended that we go here for a light meal whilst we waited for our flight. It was great. We had a tasty vegetable pasta, salad and fries. It was scrumptious and very reasonably...priced and the service was friendly.More

We ate here several times during our stay at Vieux Fort. Food is freshly prepared and reasonably priced. The menu is not overly imaginative but there's something for every taste. The rum punch is very tasty!

Yes, absolutely. Beach loungers are EC$7 for the day. That's only about US$3. We do take an EC$20 (US$8) refundable deposit. Please return the chair after use. :)
