Bad circumstances for us, not within hotel’s control mostly.
We checked out after an hour and cancelled. Problems not things hotel can do much about but were insurmountable issues for us. After 8 days on the island doing plenty of things the plan at Wyndham Reef was to simply relax on the beach and chill. It quickly became apparent this wasn’t going to be possible. First of all the seaweed problem. Not the hotel’s fault of course but be aware that not only does this mean that swimming in the sea is impractical and not going to be pleasant it means that there is a very pungent smell like drains throughout the resort. It was clear to us that this meant you were not going to want to be lying by the pool or on the beach and we could not see anyone else doing this despite the manager telling us the hotel was full. Secondly, whilst we were waiting for the room we noticed and heard a digger outside. Very noisy. Not conducive to lying by the pool or on the beach relaxing. Apparently this digger is being used to try to build a wall to stop the seaweed/ algae and operates 08:00-16:00 daily. We could not see how we were going to relax here so asked if cancelling for a refund was an option. The manager was helpful and agreed to us cancelling albeit we had to forfeit one night’s fee which we don’t think is particularly fair given the situation but we took it and moved to an air BnB on the north coast. We are very happy with our decision. No seaweed or digger here!

Overall, wonderful!!
Pros: -Wonderful, friendly, go beyond staff all-around amazing from housekeeping to meal servers -Ocean view from the room -Delicious food every meal -All-inclusive meal plan -Room was more than adequate for us, everything was working great, clean, you do have to request daily housekeeping if desired -Adult and juvenile chickens roaming the property; looking for food -Family-friendly; not an adults-only property Cons (hotel cannot control): -Bad smell from the ocean -Brown algae keeps rolling in from the ocean (hotel does clean it several times a day but it comes back) -Their designated shuttle to/from airport. Old, rickety bus that is in need of an upgrade. -Biting bugs (mosquitos or something else)

Wyndham Reef Resort Mother Daughter trip
My daughter and I visited and really enjoyed our experience. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. We did all inclusive and didn’t regret it the food was great. The east end is very quiet. Would absolutely visit again and venture out to the west end. If you stay at Wyndham and want to travel around island definitely rent a car.

Overpriced resort
High priced food and drinks. They add 25% exchange rate when menu says they add 20%. AC works but was inadequate--- only cools to 67-68 at night.

Great Fun
We stayed for 2 weeks and there were activities daily to keep us busy. Was able to take advantage of the spa (Mother's Day Special). The staff were very welcoming and happy to be of assistance.
