Lonely Planet Review

Richly rustic and romantic, the Sebel Reef House is like a Crusoe retreat for those with judicious taste and heavy wallets. Eight different room categories range from semi-luxury to outlandish luxury, but the Sebel shows its true class by maintaining a discrete profile and unpretentious reception.

Rooms and suites have beach-themed interiors with white washed walls, wicker furniture, wooden tea chests and slate floors. It's the unobtrusive but attentive extras that really make the difference though - outdoor bars on the large, private verandas, plump beds draped in muslin, wrought-iron fittings, and pamper products like fresh ground coffee and indulgent bath goodies. It's worth checking several categories as some of the 'rooms' are larger than the more expensive 'suites'. Firmly in the five-star rank, The Sebel Reef House also offers the obligatory fine dining and drinking experience as well as a Jacuzzi and three pools (one waterfall-clad).
