Summary: This was our second time at the Reef Resort and we will deifnitely be back. The rooms are always super clean and the hot pool and spa are amazing. Such a great place for a family holiday, we all love it! This time we hired the bikes they had on offer and rode around the edge of the lake, stopping off at 2 Mile Yacht club for a drink. It was a perfect way to spend the afternoon and to hire bikes for our entire family of four for $20 was great value. Thanks to the staff and see you next time :)
