We stayed in one of the new suites which was super spacious & included cooking facilities which was very handy for breakfast & a lunch snack (and meant we didn't need to spend large chunks of the day in restaurants & cafes). The staff were all very helpful and went out of their way to offer advice when requested & they went to the trouble of arranging a moped & dive school when the wind was lacking.

Back to earth with a bump,after returning from another great holiday at Reef Retreat Resort, Boracay Island.
Since our first visit in 2007, the resort has undergone two additional building phases,which have added to the charm and and relaxing feel of the resort.
Matt, a British windsurfer and his lovely wife Clair,obviously, both take great pride in their resort and home, as they live on site,which adds a special touch.
Whether you are a windsurfer,kiter,want to learn, relax on your balcony/veranda or in a hammock in the lush well kept garden,its all in one place,and Matt and Clair pull out all the stops to make you welcome.
Their staff are equally charming, always happy and smiling,and I thoroughly recommend booking the personal transfer service offered by R/R, to and from Cataclan Airport with one of their efficient staff,a welcome treat when you have travelled for hours!!
Comfortable rooms,immaculately clean,fully aircon,TV, fridge minibar, perfect.
Bulabog is on the windier,quieter side of the island,but only a 10 minute walk or 5 min tricycle ride,to White Beach,which is the tourist central,with its shopping and endless choice of restaurants and bars ,fun,especially after a hard day on the water,but for me its paradise to return to R/R and the lush green lighted garden,the breeze and the sound of the sea from your balcony.
There is always advice on boat trips, dive companies,sunset sailing,golf,buggy hire etc.
We definitely look forward to returning again,and to seeing our friend Whitey the guard dog,who since our last visit has learnt almost impeccable manners.! Well done Matt and Clair, another holiday with great memories

Don't get me wrong the Reef retreat is exactly as advertised, the apartments are small buy Cozy, and the staff are extremely friendly and accomadating. The hotel is on Bulabog beach where all the kite surfing happens. There are no facilities at the resort for food or Laundry, and because it's quiet new none of the trike drivers know where it is.
We got stuck our first night as it bucketed down rain. The power went out and there was no where near by to get food.
The resort is about a 7 min walk from white beach and d-mall where all the food and action is.
Our biggest problem were the beds which are a foam matress on a concrete slab. We woke up the first night very sore and sleep deprived. The helpfull staff said that all the rooms have the same matress and added a second foam matress on top of the first for our second night but unfortunately it still didn't offer and support and we suffered another poor nights sleep.
If this is not a concern for you and you want a quiet resort away from the busy white beach this is probably a good choice.

I booked via agoda for reef retreat in Boracay, great reviews, even on mentioned on wikipedia, which even tempted me more to book it for 5 days, nice photos, good references, forgot to mention they are upgrading the hotel from front to back, construction ongoing 8am 6pm

Before anyone books online for a hotel, May I suggest, dropping them a line or call them, and ask if there is any sort of construction in the area or noise that will spoil your vacation, such hotels with agoda.com should contact agoda and tell agoda, we are under construction upgrade for a month, take us off line and Ill call you when I am back to business for potential customers, no customer who requires a relaxing holiday should put up with hammering sawing singing whistling and workers staring in your room each day
bitterly bitterly upset in taking a flight to Manila, await all night till 6am to Boracay, and find 20 workers at your arrival, not on, customers beware!! I didnt wish to take photos, I was so annoyed i could not wait to get out of the hotel room, and stay out till the workers were gone, .....till 8am next day
10 rooms empty, they gave me the one were the lights kept fusing, and the electric shower kept failing, not comfy the chairs you have to be a contorsionist to get out of
lovely couple as mentioned, but failed big time on this deal
Forget getting dressed up for the night, the main road is flooded and uneven,
15% discount on the next booking was offered to me from agoda, they miss the point,I booked 5 days and HAD to stay the duration under them conditions
