The Reef Hotel and Residences

There were better hotels in the immediate area, which had better amenities and cheaper.

The place is very clean,I realy love the ambiance and our room is in thr front of the beach.

Room 209 bayview area has a bad internet connection and airconditioning is bad especially in the afternoon. Good thing they provided us Efan for proper ventilation.

This hotel clearly needs complete overhaul. -The towels were very old and didnt look clean for me to use it -They only provide you with 1 keycard so when you take the keycard and go out of your room, you can't leave the a/c running when going out -The a/c and tv remote were not working. I had to turn off the a/c from the main breaker to turn it off since you cant even adjust the settings -Flooring discoloration can be seen due to old age -very understaffed: i only saw 1 maintenance employee during our whole stay -event outside went on til 12am and it was a very loud for us to sleep The only positive thing I noticed was the beautiful location of the hotel. Other than that, i would recommend staying on it.

Early check-in is allowed. Unfortunately that's the only good thing I could say about Reef Hotel. The hotel is not properly maintained. Paint on the room walls were chipping. Towels are clean, but the color has turned from white to gray. The most frustrating thing here is the poor WiFi signal in the room. Had to use the cellphone data throughout our stay. With a lot of hotels in Subic, i thing I'll check out other places next time.

I've now stayed at the Reef 3x and have already booked my 4th stay. Five reasons why I like it and 2 suggestions for improvement: Likes 1.It's located on Waterfront Road which is a much livelier and more pleasant area than Dewey Ave where I used to stay in Mango Valley 2.While there are very few staff (vs most other Subic hotels with too many staff but most without a clue what to do), they are efficient, pleasant and know what they're doing 3.If you book at the hotel, it's a mere P2300 for a park facing room. That's less expensive than booking online and less expensive than any other decently-rated hotel in the area 4.Room as fridge and it gets cold quickly (some of fridges at Mango Valley takes hours to get cool) 5.Lots of natural light in the rooms and in the entire hotel Potential improvements: 1.Rooms have the card system where power goes off when card out of slot. This means after 10 hrs of cycling, I come back to a warm room vs being able to leave a/c on at low level while I'm gone 2.Rooms starting to look rather worn. Some fresh paint wouldn't go amiss. This has been a great budget choice for me when all I need is a place to crash overnight when I'm cycling for two days.
