We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dory at the Reef. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped with everything we needed. The highlight was definitely the stunning sea views from the main bedroom and kitchenwaking up to the sound of the waves each day made our holiday extra special. The beds were very comfortable, and having both a main bathroom and an en-suite was a real bonus for our family. We also appreciated the books and games available for guests. Thank you to Emma and Michael for being available if needed and for hosting us. We had a wonderful stay and would happily return.
