Great location right on Tourism Road, walking distance to everything. Bad: Food was limited/average and the gym is very small/dated. Good: My room and bath were super clean and surprisingly modern. The entire Reef Beach staff really impressed me, from the front desk to the person cleaning the pool, to someone just passing by. Everyone was so friendly, professional, and customer focused. I had someone who came back to my room just to give me the Wifi password and maintenance responds in less than a minute it seems. It is very clear how well they were all trained in hospitality (I was in the same industry for a few years so I look for who greets, smiles, etc). I did not expect to get that level of service here at all so kudos to management for their training. Special shoutout for Eldon who proactively switched my room when I casually mentioned I didn’t sleep well because it was noisy (he made a call while we were still talking and got it done immediately, I didn’t even have to ask). How’s that for service? Needless to say, I would highly recommend them and stay there again for sure.

Was here Feb 12 - 14 2023, my wife and i had a valentines date in Siargao. Booking was quick and efficient, pickup to and from the airport was a breeze. The staff were all very polite and prim and proper, typical Filipino hospitality trait abounds here. Located about 50 pesos and 10 minutes away from Cloud 9.
Food in the resort was delicious, choices are limited but the taste is quite good. Kudos to the chef and to the servers of the restaurant. Me and my wife loved the grilled mahi mahi fish. Breakfast was standard Filipino or American breakfast which is ok, given that the price per night is not too high. The very helpful front desk helped us arrange the island hopping tour. i've been around the Philippines so i am comparing with the likes of Coron Cebu Davao El Nido and Boracay. what stands out in Siargao is really the clean waters of the beach and the surfing omg. one point though, if you are a beginner surfer, try learning from the left side of Cloud 9 as i think there are fewer if any rocks in the surfing area. The right side of Cloud 9 is where i tried learning and unfortunately i hit my arm under one of the underwater rocks, i got scraped skin about 4 inches x 1.5 inches, serves as my Siargao tattoo i guess.

Stayed for a month. The staff was great - responds quickly to requests and very accommodating. The room was cozy and of a minimalist style, which I prefer and love. It's solar powered, so power interruption was never a problem. I loved the feeling of privacy that the resort provided, they have a swimming pool and a gym! A very accessible way of maintaining your fitness routine. The location is beachfront, and they have benches facing the sea which allows you to witness the beauty of sunrise every morning. Loved the overall experience.

Overrated is an understatement. For the price it offers there are way better resorts in same area. 1. Beach is rocky. Not for swimming. 2. The beach view studio, most expensive room at ₱8000++, did not offer the basic incidentals we are used to like hand soap, lotion, tooth brushes, regular towel ( theirs were so thin), face and hand towels, slippers etc… 3. There is an annoying noise every 2 mins and lasts 1.5 minutes all night and day. It kept me up until 5:30 am with earphones! 4.There was hammering or noise from downstairs (kitchen maybe)at 8:am ( I had only 2.5 hours of sleep) so room was not sound proof. 5. The facility decor and furniture are run down and old especially for the price +. 6. We are both seniors and their stairs looks like a trip hazard and very dingy. 7. The safe doesn’t work also 8. We found cobwebs behind the side table after seeing a spider. All in all, it is overpriced for a dilapidated resort.
In contrast, the staff is very friendly and accommodating but these issues can’t be replaced or fixed with smiles and good service.

We had a terrible experience staying at Reef Beach Resort in Siargao. Here’s a summary of the issues we encountered during our stay:
1. **Motorbike Booking Mismanagement**: We booked a motorbike from the reception the day before and explicitly told them it needed to arrive by 8:00 AM because we had a day tour planned. Despite confirming the day before and reconfirming at 7:30 AM, the bike was still not available at 8:30 AM. They only informed us at that point that it was no longer available. Although they eventually found another bike, it was already too late, causing significant delays to our day.
2. **Breakfast Service Failure**: We ordered breakfast the night before and requested it to be served by 7:30 AM. When we arrived at 7:15 AM, we reiterated our request. Despite being one of the first to arrive, we watched as other tables—including those who came later—were served ahead of us. By the time we complained multiple times, the entire restaurant, including tables near the beach, had already been served. When I escalated the issue to the front desk and asked for the manager, they claimed the manager was unavailable. Even after they called the kitchen again, no food arrived. To make matters worse, a table that sat down after us was served almost immediately.
3. **Room Cleaning Delays**: The resort claims to clean rooms every two days, but when we returned to our room at 4:00 PM after a tour, it hadn’t been cleaned. After following up, they said they would attend to it. However, when the staff tried to clean, my wife was in the shower and asked them to return later. When we came back late at night after dinner, the room was still untouched, with dirty towels left on the floor.
4. **Water Supply Issues**: While my wife and son were showering on separate floors, the water abruptly stopped mid-shower, leaving them covered in soap. This was our last night so our room was never cleaned throughout our stay .
5. **Air Conditioning Problems**: Throughout our stay, the air conditioning unit in our room was leaking, and nothing was done to resolve it.
Overall, the resort’s lack of organization, poor communication, and subpar service completely ruined our stay. For the price we paid, we expected much better. I would not recommend Reef Beach Resort to anyone visiting Siargao.

The Reef Beach Resort is a nice establishment right on the water with a super friendly staff. The room was very clean+comfortable. If you're looking for something to do the staff will assist with setting up different tours. It costs 30-40 pesos/person (50-60 cents) for a tricycle ride into the village with all the shops and restaurants. The resort also has a restaurant and they do a good job - starting with breakfast. Other meals are all freshly cooked when ordered and the ones I tried were professionally prepared and tasty. I will go back!

We enjoyed 5 wonderful days at this pretty oceanside location. The beach is rocky and not suitable for swimming, as the Reef Resort name implies. However, the resort has a nice pool and a fabulous view from its restaurant. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The kind lady at the front desk was particularly helpful with arranging tours and transportation. I definitely would return to the Reef Resort.

Me and my friends had an amazing time in Reef Beach. From start to finish the staff were always on point with their service and hospitality.
The staff in the reception including Hannah May, Bainaut, Princess Grace and Abegail Anne provided us with an exceptional welcome service.
On our friends birthday we wanted to surprise her with something special, but had very little time, so we asked the reception and the Restaurant staff Miss Jho-Anne and her team Jeremiah and Florendo for this assistance with setting up a surprise for our dear friend. They were kind enough to surprise us with a truly exceptional set up and at a short notice.
Apple Grace from accounting helped us by taking the video of our friend and along with the help of Kuya Johan the security guard, we put our plan for a surprise into place. Thanks to them we were able to make our friends Birthday an amazing experience for her and made is happy to see her happy.
Chef Kenneth helped us talk through the setup of the tables and told us that everything was ready for us and at hand. The food prepared by the staff was absolutely immaculate.
Thank you also to Gelanda from housekeeping for an exceptional service. Her and her team will leave your room neat and tidy, and you will always feel like you just started to stay for the first time.
I had to type out all the names of these staff members as being in Siargao for the first and time and experiencing such hospitality is a rare find.
Salamat at hanggang sa ating muling pagkikita.

Besides the constant power outtage, the room is actually spacious, clean and a good functional space. The lack of proper wifi signal was fixed when the receptionist provided us our own router. TV was fixed on our 3rd day of stay (was out of signal for a while). The staff were pretty awesome though. I'd rebook.

If I recall correctly it was between Php 4-5 thousand per night. I just checked some booking apps & they are sold out for the dates you prefer. Best contact the resort directly. Good luck!
