Magic Reef is a beautiful resort, very relaxing. The bungalows are well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. It was also great to have our own comfortable lounge chairs on the deck to take in the views out over the reef, watching the waves crashing and the sun setting which was all simply breathtaking. There are a few really good restaurants within walking distance down the beach, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing time. We hired a car for a couple of days to explore around the island, enjoy some beach swimming, snorkeling and to eat at some different restaurants. The pool was great, lovely temperature and depth. Our hosts and all the staff were friendly, helpful and we enjoyed talking with them. Thanks for the beautiful platter in the fridge, the beers, juice etc which was so appreciated. We would highly recommend Magic Reef if you like a small boutique resort.

“Lovely, small and clean resort with friendly, accomodating and thoughtful staff.”
Lovely, clean well maintained resort. The driver that met us at the airport was exceptionally accomodating. We arrived early and it was raining. As we could not check in he went out of his way to take us to a nice caffe near the resort and then came back to give us umbrellas. Such thoughtful customer service. The owners left us in the fridge simple yet vet nice breakfast to “get us started” although it was not included in the price. Much appreciated thought.

“Perfection, Quality with a touch of Heaven”
Magic Reef is self cater- though they provided a light breakfast for our first morning - fruit platter, fresh juice, toast, locally made jams and freshly ground coffee. It was amazing.
