... on our second visit to Reethi . From the front desk to the ladies from Guest Relations, everyone was very welcoming and after the first 50 meters toward the room barefoot, we knew that we were finally back home! It was also amazing how quickly the staff reacts when a "repeat offender" is concerned (and there are many on the island, more than the average). What impressed us particularly was the cordiality with which the staff greeted us. During our stay, there was always an opportunity, to talk more about families and personal problems. The se...

We had eleven fantastic days at the hotel Reethi Beach resort. Ideal for people who just want to relax. On the whole island you can walk around barefoot, even in the main restaurant, which we found very pleasant. Very friendly staff. Small drawback: every evening the whole island stunk of insecticide. This measure is intended to keep the mosquitos in check. We thought however that this method was very inconsiderate- people were shunted from the paths by the toxic, white cloud formally from the paths and literally fled to the beach in order t...

This was our second time at Reethi Beach and it was wonderful. Just after landing we received a nice welcome from the Guest Care woman, Julia, who was always there at any time for her guests. There is already so many good things written about this place which makes it difficult to find appropriate words. It was a great 14 days, although the weather was not so great. The bungalow was spick and span and cleaned twice a day. Everywhere you went, you met very nice people who always polite and friendly. You can read the whole day, laze about on c... Read more

Absolute dream holiday in a fantastic atmosphere. The only drawback was that excursions were too expensive, therefore never reached minimum number of people talking part so it almost never took place. In the store on the island, prices were very high. I left my snorkeling equipment at home and bought a snorkel, goggles and fins- 190.00 dollars! But apart from that everything was great. Read more

A vacation that left nothing to be desired. We had a 14 wonderful days in a standard bungalow. The bungalow was clean and everything was in tact. The service was absolutely great. From the laundry to the repairs, everything was prompt. We would especially like to highlight the main restaurant, the food was absolutely great! Delicious, a large variety throughout the 14 days, very rarely 'repeated'. A strong praise also goes to the girls from the coconut spa- thank you for those relaxing hours. The island itself is a great barefoot island! The... Read more

The room was first rate and had all the facilities I could need, the bathroom was huge and as well as a full sized bath had a huge (big enough for two ; ) shower), what really made it for me was the large deck area with 2 full size sunloungers, good quality wooden ones with deep padded cushions and a large table and chairs and parasol, and then to cap it all off the stairs with direct access into the water. - in August 11
-it was my own little private paradise : ) The food was excellent, I ate breakfast at the main restaurant, lots of choice and all of good quality, I also ate at the Reethi grill- v good, Saima gardens for my birthday was a bit of a disapointment-it was still very good but just did not blow me away. - in April 10

After hours of search I decided that Reethi Beach would be ideal for us-a couple in our 50's wating to chill out on white sand beaches who like good food and high standards. - in April 11
The food was very good. - in February 11
The buffet is OK-but we book breakfast only (were already three times on reethi), so that we in the restaurant food-great water location and really good food-clear cost something more, but for us is more than justified the price. - in December 10

We found the food in the main restaurant always good to very good and the desserts were scrummy ( I limited myself to one visit to the dessert area per day ) We were given a complementary meal in the Saima Gardens one evening since we were returning guests – although the food was lovely I found it a bit dark and missing some atmosphere but it was a lovely touch. - in October 11
