Tamarind Reef Resort Spa & Marina

The check-in staff was great. They were ready for me, and very helpful. The room had a nice appearance, with modern furniture, and a remodeled bathroom in this otherwise older motel. The age of the hotel shows though in leaks, noise, some failing HVAC, and partially functional fixtures. Also, the beach is not great, filled with rocks, and not friendly for families or swimmers, or even just goofing around. I don’t think snorkeling is readily possibly for lost in this space next to a marina. Not sure where the reef actually is. The rims off shower was not functional. The pool is pretty deep and pretty aged. The most challenging part of the stay beyond the HVAC which could only keep the room at either 65° or 80°, was the noise. The noise was incredible. There is some sort of a nightclub that operates at night with an MC and various acts. This blarring noise permeates each room because the rooms are not well insulated. There are screened windows on the room door that literally cannot be sealed. So every noise on the property comes right into your room. In addition, there are roosters on the property. They get quite active around 4 AM. I would not return to this property.

Shelley was absolutely fantastic. She ran and operated the hotel just as if she was the owner so much attention to Detail and went over her way and then over backwards to make us feel like family will definitely be coming back again is also five stars as well great people great experience will definitely be coming again thank you Tamrid reef resort.

There was no water access, kids got sick from the pool, only one place to eat and it wasn’t all that. We would not stay again.

It was a nice staycation for me and my children

You can't beat the view these have - direct oceanfront. It's called a resort but I'd be more inclined to call it a luxury motel. But the rooms are super nice and air conditioned. We enjoyed the rooms very much. The front desk manager, Shelly, was unwelcoming and treated me more like a recalcitrant school child than welcoming me as a guest. I was troubled by her tone/attitude but she wouldn't let me speak to a manager when I asked. Apparently no manager was on duty during our stay. That sounds odd to me. Also told us breakfast wasn't included while that was clearly in the Expedia listing. Lovely poolside area for relaxing, but the poolside grill menu was fried food - would have been charming to have something fresher and more variety.

Location room and amenities fantastic , rooms spotless have everything needed, only down fall , place needed pressure washing, pool desk, patios etc and beach was nice but water not swimmable , rocky, sea urchins and very rough, not suitable if your taking kids .
