We had a great stay at Reef Retreat. On the quiet, windy side of Boracay. Away from the bass, heat and hustle bustle of White beach. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, the room are just awesome - especially the 4 poster bed in the double rooms. We even had a communicating door to our other friends room! The... More

The hotel is located on the Bulabog Beach side of the island and so is ideal if you want a quiet and relaxing place to stay. The busy side of the island, White Beach, is only a 10-15 minute walk away, and there are a few nice spots to eat and drink near the hotel itself. Trips can be arranged... More

I went to Boracay for the first time over CNY in 2012. Was there for a week and booked a room at the Reef Retreat on my friend's recommendation who stayed there for 2 weeks. If you've never been to Boracay, let me first give you an overview of the island as then you can put this place in context.... More

I had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay at Reef Retreat. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the accomodation clean and well presented. How nice to find a place where the room minibar has contents you can buy without feeling totally 'ripped off'. Although, not a windsports fan, I have to say the Retreat is perfectly placed on the...

I stayed at the Reef Retreat Resort this month for 10 nights and found it to be a welcome change of pace from the noisy and crowded White Beach. The rooms are clean, comfortable, have a lovely warm feel to them and are situated on the quieter side of the island. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and I... More

Reef Retreat was a wunderful place to stay. Its a very quiet small place, close by Bulabog Beach. Perfect for kite surfing. The room was clean and perfect in size. Also the staff was super friendly and very helpful all the time.

Having visited Boracay on more than a couple of occasions Reef Retreat is without doubt the place to stay for both windsurfers/kitesurfers and non-windsurfer/kitesurfers alike. If you are a watersports enthusiast then Reef Retreat is set in the prime location just metres away from the beach front. You can simply wake up and check whether the wind is blowing or... More

After 11yrs of staying on White Beach (and as avid kitesurfers) we decided to stay with Matt & Claire at Reef Retreat on Bulabog Beach. We will definitely be staying here again. We stayed on the 1st floor, end room with a lovely view of the ocean....and a gentle breeze blew constantly through the room. (Whereas rooms on White Beach... More

Could not really be a better location for Kite Surfers... leave your kites in the very capable hands of Ocean Republic (just in front of Reef Retreat) and you are set up for your stay. We stayed in one of Matt & Clare's rooms nearest the beach on the ground floor. A comfortable bed and nicely decorated. The deck made... More

Prior to staying at Reef Retreat, this guest stayed at 5* resorts on the island. After reading their reviews of these resorts, its obvious that its impossible to please this guest. Paying ten times the rate for a 5* resort you would expect ten times the space and all the facilities, thats what you are paying for! More
