The Reef
This budget property occupies a lovely beachfront location that’s about a 10-minute drive to the SkyWheel and Broadway at the Beach. The hotel is worn and dated, but it has nice outdoor and indoor pools, including a kids’ pool and hot tubs. Other features include a game room stocked with arcade games and a casual eatery with happy hour specials and seasonal entertainment. All guest rooms have oceanfront balconies, and most have living rooms and kitchens. The units receive many complaints, however, as they’re tired, dated, and often unclean; guests cite bug problems, stains, and odors. As an alternative, Breakers Resort offers water parks and condo-style units with kitchens.
