"Magic Reef is a slice of paradise - we cannot recommend highly enough and already looking forward to when we can come ba"

10.0

Excellent facilities, very carefully thought out. Bungalows are equipped with everything we needed and more. The west facing orientation is perfect, catching the morning sun on the water to really accentuate the colours of the ocean, and the watching the sunsets from one of the hammock is just bliss.

It’s difficult to fault as everything was so perfect. Only things we struggled with were things that were out of magic reefs control. The ants in the room are a nuisance, only tiny ones, but manage to sniff out the tiniest evidence of food and suddenly there were swarms of them. We appreciated the bug spray in the room (another thoughtful detail). And the dogs on the island - as we are not dog people, the dog appearing onsite regularly, and on our deck, was a bit of a pain. It was collared and friendly enough, just a pain. Really clutching at straws here - the resort is truly perfect.

"The friendliest staff, beautiful views and unique bungalows and gardens make this an amazing place to stay."

9.0

The wonderfully unique beach bungalows were comfortable, clean, beautiful and a wonderful experience. The pool, outdoor leisure areas, the beautiful gardens just added to the experience at Magic Reef Bungalows. We saw whales from our front verandah and enjoyed the outdoor shower and thoughtful fruit platter and baked bread and homemade jam.

We had some tiny ants and insects - but they really weren’t a big deal - just shut the door and clean up after you’ve prepared or eaten food.

"A perfect place to relax and watch the whales and sunsets."

9.0

The resort is run by a fantastic crew who go out of their way to make you feel at home, and can't do enough for you. The bungalow has been beautifully built and is incredibly roomy, with a great deck to watch the sunsets and passing whales. There is no restaurant onsite, but there are others within a short walk. The hire cars were great, as was the use of the snorkelling equipment.

The only real draw back to the resort is that you can't swim in front of the resort, but there are plenty of places nearby you can get to where the snorkelling is excellent. The pool is on the smaller side, but perfect for a refreshing dip.

"An authentic beautiful sustainable boutique experience."

10.0

Magic reef is the perfect accomodation we will defs be back! The bungalows are stunning and give an exotic feel. The beach and overall location is THE best in raro. We saw whales each day, walked directly to some of the best dinner spots on the island directly along the beach and the staff and guests are super amenable and friendly as it’s small you’ll get to know everyone and feel really communal and welcomed. The wifi is perfect and additions of a well Stocked fridge with complimentary fresh fruit muesli milk water juice and toast was much appreciated!

That we couldn’t stay longer!
