I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the amenities at the resort were nice, the conditions in the room were quite disappointing, with worn furniture and cleanliness issues. The location directly on the beach made for a fun and convenient vacation, but the lack of attention to detail in the accommodations really took away from the experience.

Our stay at Sterling Reef was quite enjoyable overall, thanks to the lovely pools and the beautiful beach nearby. The staff at the customer service desk were particularly impressive, always eager to help out. However, we faced some challenges with the elevators, which were quite slow, and parking was a bit tight for our vehicle. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but those minor inconveniences kept it from being perfect.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the views from the large balconies were stunning, the condition of the unit left much to be desired with cleanliness issues. The location was great, right next to the beach, but the service was lacking, particularly in terms of responsiveness and maintenance. Overall, I appreciated the beautiful surroundings, but the issues with cleanliness and service made my stay less enjoyable than it could have been.

We had an overall enjoyable experience at Sterling Reef, despite a rough start during check-in. The spacious and well-decorated units offered lovely views of the beach, and the beach itself was stunning. However, we encountered some issues with a lack of cleanliness upon arrival, and the elevators were often slow due to high occupancy. Still, the amenities like the pools and unlimited DVD rentals made our stay fun and entertaining for the whole family.
