We had a great stay at the Reef Beachfront Apartments. We were upgraded from a pool level 2 BR, 2 BA apartment to one on the 3rd level with a view of the Mount (though not the ocean, which was fine). The apartment was enormous! It was also very clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed: a large balcony with a table/chairs and sun umbrella, a full kitchen stocked with glassware, plates, pots, pans, etc, and (best of all) a full size washer and dryer. The location was great, just across from a swimming beach. It was a beautiful 20-30 minute walk into town and there was a great little cafe about a 5-7 min walk away. New World was about a 5-10 min walk. Free garage parking was an added bonus. We didn't end up using the pool or hot pool but both looked lovely. We'd stay here again.

Manager was excellent and very accommodating. The units dryer was OOO which was inconvenient but the manager was able to provide an option. The stovetop wasn’t intuitive. I had to look online for operating instructions. It was a simple child lock feature but would be helpful to have some easy instructions for future.
