As the name implies, the Pool Terrace overlooks the Reef View Hotel pool area which is nice when no one is in the pool but a bit awkward when people are swimming right in front of where you are eating.

The breakfast buffet was extensive and included lots of different foods but it would have been nice if more variety was available on different days rather than having the same selection each day. The omelette station was a highlight. There was a coffee machine that you could make your own coffees otherwise we were advised by staff that barista made coffees could be ordered from the bar area, however when I enquired this came at an additional charge of $4.50.

The iced coffee was nice and I enjoyed that by the poolside but the found the rest of the poolside menu to be limited and overpriced.

The staff tried to be attentive but it felt a little impersonal as they all buzzed around seating guests and clearing tables.

The food itself was fine but nothing exceptional.

Approximate cost: $34
