Great place for family and friends. The expansive gardens, Indian Ocean views, service delivery with a personal touch and prices moderately fixed

Visited on twerk night which is on Friday night. They got some selection of girls who compete whose the best twerker. After the competition the girls move around twerking for tips. The club is on the beach, the vibe was awesome people started dancing after key dancers came out. I overly enjoyed my night was awesome, super awesome

Cool place. Just a few notes. Their house red wine is absolutely horrible. I would not recommend it if you enjoy wine. And if you don’t like it, they will not take it off your bill. Kind of strange. Also speak up if they deliver warm beer. My first one was warm. Besides that, cool place. Good vibes. Waitress was very kind.

I came alone in the evening and the service was awful. It took an hour to get a salad and 20 minutes to get my bill. The food was okay, but they look blue because of the weird blue light. You cannot see the sea, but only the beach (unflattering to be honest) and only hearing the sound the waves. I understand the price cuz it’s a fancy hotel. But I expected the minimum service for the 2000 shillings I paid!

Perfect place for a evening drink with Friends Located just near the beach We opted for the Tanga bar and Grill Which is one of the bars located inside the Reef Hotel Location and atmosphere is the ultimate point in this Service and food taste comes secondary We opted for the table near to pool facing the beach , evening breeze was wonderful Food items were served very late and even for taking orders it takes quite some time which was let down for the evening After few drinks we strolled the beach for some time even though the gates were locked for beach entrance upon request it was opened for us
