Wow wow wow! The Bar Reef resort is the perfect combination of beautiful nature, serenity, great food and friendly service. It is hard to describe the atmosphere and the photos don’t do it justice. Stepping off the bus it immediately felt so peaceful and remote, and that feeling stayed for the week that I spent here. The design of the resort is centred around outdoor living – if you aren’t keen to embrace nature it may not be for you as it has a totally outdoor shower (felt like showering under a waterfall!) and bathroom – but the beds are comfy, with mossie nets so if you love nature and are looking for a comfortable eco-resort then it’s the perfect retreat. The pool is stunning, directly connected to the beach and ocean (safe to swim in). Watching the sunset over the sea from the edge of the pool is magical. There are several shady cabanas to relax in and beautiful tropical gardens. The food was fresh and delicious (especially the tuna) and the local staff were friendly and welcoming, but not too over the top which I appreciated. I loved my time at Bar Reef, it is a really special place, and I hope to return in the future.
