We had a fantastic family reunion at Tamarind Reef Resort, Spa & Marina. The location was perfect, with stunning ocean views and plenty of activities right at our fingertips. The rooms were spacious and revamped, but the sandy beach access was misleading as it was rocky and not suitable for swimming. Overall, it was a great value for a relaxing stay away from the crowds.

My stay at the Tamarind Reef Hotel was a mixed experience. On the upside, the rooms are spacious with beautiful ocean views and the staff is genuinely friendly. However, the dining options were disappointing, particularly at the bar and the restaurant. The hotel feels quite remote, making dining out a hassle without a rental car, and there were hidden fees that made the stay feel overpriced.
