The room was very clean with a very good air conditioning .. There is a TV but no hairdryer... more

On arrival the hotel doesn't look too impressive but we were greeted with a glass of cold fruit juice at reception and were able to... more

We booked this hotel through SNCF. The package included 2 days safari and then 4 days at Reef Hotel. The safari went very well but on the 3rd day we were "droped" at Reef. The hotel needs serious restoration works and the room/bathroom was VERY DIRTY. One may not relax in the beach which is just in front of the... more
