Reefhouse Resort and Marina

Our room had a beautiful, large balcony overlooking the more quiet part of the beach and the sea. Beautiful and relaxing, I enjoyed reading on the balcony without being disturbed by anything. Kids loved the pool with the fountains, we enjoyed being able to sit at the beach and still see them in the pool, and being able to get some lunch and drinks from the poolside bar. Very convenient and tasty restaurant (Gus' Grill) on site, we were too tired the day we checked in, so we decided to have dinner there and were very happy with it. Also breakfast at Gus' was very tasty. Very convenient location to visit John Pennekamp State Park, but also the Everglades. Lots of convenient parking.

I have to say was PLEASANTLY surprised with my stay here. Before I even got to the resort I was welcomed via text by staff and then again upon check in. Every single interaction I had with a staff member was warm, welcoming and pleasant. My room was upgraded, which was a blessing. The property was very very pretty. They provide a plethora of activities that you don’t need to seek outside help to fill your day with things to do. All you have to do is ask. Breakfast was delicious and the service was impeccable. Parking is free. Bartenders were AMAZING. The drinks were great. The wings at the bar were awesome. The only “bad” thing I have to say is that the floor of the room was a bit dusty/dirty but I brought house shoes so it wasn’t the end of the world. Other than that, everything else was CLEAN. All and all, I would 100% stay here again and will be returning. I had an amazing time.

Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. The layout was excellent, from a shower and toilet separated from the vanity by a door, to the room itself with a full-size couch, dinette/desk table for two, attractive area rugs, and other well-designed furniture, to the large balcony with a glass outer wall, two chairs (one a rocker) and a small cocktail table for enjoying the view, especially sunsets over the water. The property is a medium-sized resort with all the large resort amenities: pool, beach, water sports, spa, evening flame-lit fire pits and torches, etc. There were hundreds of lounge chairs, and extensive shade provided by umbrellas and tiki huts. The restaurants were superb- food, decor and views. The menu choices and presentation and taste of the food were outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night, four-day mini-vacation.

Room 401 was excellent, size and cleanliness. However, the water pressure wasn’t that good. The waterfront view was outstanding. Loved the pool; Flippers cafe, (Carlos was great). Dined twice at Gus’s Grille; much better food than the “high end” Calusa’s. Gus’s should go on ‘Open Table’ to get its name in the mix. Front desk was always courteous and helpful; Luz was Ms. Efficiency. Jessica was excellent. Lulu was the best housekeeper my wife and I ever had.

The views were beautiful & easy access to everything because it was a smaller scale resort. Food was fantastic everywhere we ordered!!!! All of the serving staff was friendly & helpful!
