Lovely place to stay. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Only downside is that there is only valet parking. It’s complimentary but inconvenient for those of us who like to hop in our cars and go. If you’re a foodie, Restaurant Luciano is a 2-minute walk away.

Lee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

extremely expensive for size of rooms and view and no breakfast included. No pool. Roof top plunge pool only open until 3 pm. Nice to have golf cart transport to beach and beach chairs and umbrella included. . However we were visiting family who had a condo one mile away. Had to walk each way as no parking for our car on streets and no other form of transport. The tv was not working right and I wanted to watch wimbledon. I eventually figured it out but reception was poor. If you want to be in the heart of it all on Stone Harbor, then it is the place to be. I should have stayed further from downtown to be closer to my family. Would be less expensive, bigger room and closer to beach with pool.

I always have a lovely stay at the Reeds. The staff are friendly and the property is clean. The staff is accommodating in every way which makes for a very pleasant stay. The amenities are wonderful, especially the Salt Spa and the staff there too is top notch. A special thank you to, Patrick, Emma, Marissa, Tommy and Beth, Tracey and Stephanie. Oh, and of course George. I’ll be back again soon.
