What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Comfortable

I loved the spacious nature of the room at Cordova Reef Village Resort. It felt more like a cottage than just a hotel room, providing ample space to relax and unwind. The comfortable bed and well-furnished interior made it a perfect getaway. I truly appreciated the big tub and separate shower in the bathroom too!

Relaxing Poolside Experience

The large pool at the resort was perfect for a refreshing dip on hot days. It was well-maintained and never overcrowded, allowing me to truly enjoy my time by the water. I always found a sunbed available to unwind in, sometimes with soft background music. It was a lovely space to chill out!

Delicious Breakfast Options

My breakfast every morning was good! I appreciated the omelette station where I could get freshly made omelettes, which were perfect. While the overall breakfast menu was limited, I enjoyed the fresh fruit and other options available. It helped start my day on a positive note!

Kayaking Fun

I had a fantastic time kayaking around the nearby cove! The resort offered free kayaks which allowed me to explore the area and enjoy the beautiful marine life. It was such a peaceful way to spend my afternoons, seeing colorful fish and crabs while paddling in the calm waters.

My stay at the resort was quite disappointing. The property had its charm but was in dire need of renovation, and I felt the security issues were serious. While the staff were friendly and the pool was nice, overall, it didn't meet my expectations, especially regarding the rooms and dining options.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were large but poorly maintained, with cracking paint and sometimes no hot water. I had to call maintenance multiple times for hot water issues, which shouldn't be the case during a six-night stay.

Service at the resort was hit or miss. While the staff were polite, they didn’t seem very motivated or responsive to issues raised by guests, such as maintenance problems.

The resort is quite secluded, making for a peaceful getaway, but it’s far from the city center and anything else interesting on the island.

Dining

Dining options were very limited and repetitive, which made staying more than a couple of days monotonous. Breakfast was underwhelming, lacking variety and freshness.

Facilities

The pool was large and great for families, but other facilities seemed neglected, and I couldn’t rely on Wi-Fi in the rooms or even outside.

My stay at the resort had its ups and downs. While the cottages offered a spacious and clean environment, the overall experience was marred by outdated facilities and poor dining options. The pool was enjoyable, but the lack of a proper beach and the cleanliness of the grounds were disappointing. All things considered, it's not worth the price I paid.

The staff were friendly, but the service was inconsistent, and there were issues with the facilities that hindered our overall experience.
