We loved Ocean Reef.
From the people to our room everything was just very nice and special. The staff was extremely attentive and warm. We loved Olive and Cindy and Shimron in the Restaurant.
Great place to vacation if you love a personalized service in a homey Resort.
Very quiet season but we still loved being there!

Nothing fancy,but we knew that, but right from the beginning, the staff was very helpful and pleasant.Our room was huge, well maintained, had everything. Grounds were lovely-full marina. Small pool but still lovely overlooking the water. No complaints at all. Slow season so not much with activities at hotel, but they still did karaoke, bingo even though only about 6 people participated! Restaurant was not open all the time because of slow season which was not good since we had no food when we arrived; and they actually opened and grilled up some burgers etc. We thought that was really nice of them. Try it and enjoy!

The Ocean Reef is an enclosed resort with 2 pools; it is about 10 minutes from the International Market, and 15 minutes from Port Lucaya. There are different types of accommodations and are very nice. When I travel there I stay in the 3-bedroom villas that are town-house style fully equipped with a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, 3 decks, your own personal grill, and a car port. There is a computer room in the main building where the 2-bedroom suites are, that area looks more like a hotel, the space is small but is very nice. The Resort has daily activities and there is a shuttle bus on the premises that takes you to the grocery and liquor stores, usually on the first night you arrive. I suggest buying a few groceries if you are staying more than a week; the food is expensive in Freeport! I even bring dry goods with me in my luggage, like chips, coffee, spices, etc. The pool area near the villa units is usually very quiet and serene. However, there is another pool closer to the front of the resort where most of the activities are, like bingo, welcome parties, banquets, etc. The view from the back of the resorts overlooks the canal, which is beautiful, the water is a blue-green and it looks unreal. I love it! There is a beach within walking distance (10 minutes) you also have the option of taking the shuttle there. It’s called Coral Beach and it’s very nice, there is a full-service bar that has pretty good snacks and drinks. Bring cash. They rent out chairs on that beach for about 2 bucks. There is also a little hut located in the driveway of the resort that is open at night, they serve grilled seafood, chicken, etc. The food is great, I'm not sure if the place is owned by locals or the resort, but I have seen other vacationers eating there too.

Highlights:
This is not a place to go unless all you plan to do is dive and you have your own boat. The dive shop is great. The living quarters are swarming inside with ants. The activities listed don't necessarily happen. They say there are boats but they are all out of commission. This has been a boring vacation for our young children until we discovered the Sheraton!
