“We had such an amazing time at Reid’s. The Ocean Club was definitely a highlight, host Ky went above and beyond to make us feel looked after, and turned the pool and restaurant experience into something really personal. The food and drinks there were also top-notch.
We also loved meeting Trang at the spa. Her smile, kindness, and the way she helped us with everything made us feel so welcome and special. Overall, Reid’s was fantastic. Breakfasts were another highlight, you can find pretty much anything you want, everything is high quality, and there’s also a great selection of dishes you can order fresh from the menu”
