This was my second stay at the Reef Strand. Last year I was there before the remodel. The place has a great new look and I'd call it a gem. Owner and most of the staff go out of their way to make things run smoothly. If your looking for a loud party haven it's not there. At the Reef you'll find peace and relaxation. However, if you want to stay up all night and drink till the sun comes up the staff will be gladly tuk tuk you to where the nights run into the day. Rates are reasonable considering pricing in the other 3 and 3 1/2 star hotels and all the meals I've eating there were very good. So if your going to EL NIdo it's well worth checking in, you'll prob be back for a second or third time like me.

We had the most wonderful stay here, thanks to Ate Rhose, Oli, and the entire team. Despite our very late arrival (past midnight after a 5-hour van transfer from Puerto Princesa), they were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. Almost all the rooms are seafront, so we woke up to incredible views of the bay and the opposite islets every morning. The service was also top-notch; they offered free shuttles to the town square and organized several activities for us. The team was always available and went above and beyond. I would definitely stay here again!

La ubicación esta a unos 10 minutos caminando, pero te ofrecen transporte gratis hasta la esquina de coron donde comienza el centro. El personal es muy amable. El desayuno escaso. Pero son todos muy atentos. Es muy tranquilo y relajante donde esta ubicado frente a la playa.

Great location with lot's of charachter and a great staff that made all arrangements for us including tours. The location way down the Strand is what made it special, but also a little ways away from town. Their dedicated Tuk Tuk driver was awesome and easy to schedule, which eliminated that problem...

The property needs many updates. Came home from island hopping and water not working. But they corrected it saying it was lime build up. But water softener machines would prevented it. Food was horrible at the hotel. Old steps going to the room. No elevator. No refrigerator or phone in room. The door to the room stopped working and had to be repaired during my stay.

I had read alot of reviews which almost pursued me not to stay here. Yet I tried anyways and Im so happy I did. Although it is dated its a gem of a place. The rooms were very clean, the pool was great and not to mention the views are phenomenal. As far as transport: they def provide transport to the main square. For a small fee they will drop you at your request a bit further. The staff was lovely and very accommodating. Its close to some amazing food spots. Mine was Fuego for the burger and chicken eaters For the athletic there is a gym in the town square. This was a birthday stay and it was an amazing one.
