Bed was very confortable

The view was spectacular.

Balcony overlooking the water

Go for the views, stay for the people This was, without a doubt, the best holiday I've ever been on and my partner agrees. I cannot stress enough how lovely the staff were and how friendly we found everyone to be in Tobago. Junette and Randall were amazing. We spoke to them most, but absolutely everyone was so kind, helpful, and welcoming. We loved our room and we both had a 'wow' moment when we first got in. As our plane was delayed enough to miss dinner, the hotel had left sandwiches wrapped up in our room which was really nice and appreciated. The decor is not the modern white walls and clinical feel that we've all grown used to, but we much preferred this because it felt more charming. Our ocean view from the balcony was incredible, such a magical sight to wake up to. The room service was great. Our room was always left lovely and fresh. We did once have to wait for beach towels to finish washing but as we had our own spare ones this made no difference to us. I imagine maybe during the busy season, bringing a spare towel could avoid any issues on that front. As the hotel is open-air, it was lovely stepping outside in the morning to feel the warmth envelop you and then going back to the room later and enjoying the air conditioning. We've not used air conditioning before though so accidentally kept turning it all the way up (the lowest number). We had hot water, but honestly we never really used it as cold showers are ideal for the hot weather. The view of the beach is also overlooked by Tamara's restaurant which has the most amazing food! It was so nice and well-presented that we only ate anywhere else when we were out on trips. Major compliments to the chef and kitchen team, as well as the waiting staff. The selection of food and drinks in all-inclusive was great. We didn't end up buying anything extra, although we were tempted by the lobster and ribs usually availabile to buy. The beach bar was being renovated during our stay, so unfortunately no beach bbq, but maintenance has to happen sometime and this did not affect our trip at all due to the lovely meals in Tamara's. Drinks were still available for the beach and we did get a bbq themed night in the restaurant that was delicious. We loved the beach and while there was some seaweed in areas, this was not offputting and had no impact on our enjoyment. It is amazing the amount of sealife that can be found just within this area. Snorkeling was included and we saw so many fish of different colours, shapes and sizes. There's plenty of crabs, gulls, and pelicans about by the rocks. We were even lucky enough to watch a stingray swim around us. I also went scuba diving with the dive shop on the beach and that was amazing as well. We went on two tours during our stay, which we arranged separately with a birdwatcher called Newton George, who was a fantastic guide. However, I know a few other people who enjoyed their tours with Kelton (who owns the birds of prey that featured at breakfast sometimes). There are a few small birds flying around at breakfast but they're no bother, the food isn't accessible to them and it was really nice getting to see and be around them. As long as you do your research and feel confident that this is the place for you, then you will have the most amazing time. Coco Reef deserves more love than it gets.

Wonderful holiday at Coco Reef Hotel & Spa We had a wonderful holiday at Coco Reef Hotel & Spa. The hotel’s location is amazing, the staff are all so friendly and helpful and can’t do enough to make sure you enjoy your holiday. As said in previous comments by other guests our room although very clean, was a bit dated, but this didn’t bother us or spoil the enjoyment of our holiday at all and we loved the charm and character of the building and its beautiful grounds. We appreciate that the Manager Adrian is working hard to improve all parts of the hotel and the ongoing work at the beach bar and in the hotel didn’t worry us and at a hotel that is open 52 weeks a year, work has to be done at sometime! Food was so good and we enjoyed the variety of the 3 course A La Carte evening menu and lovely cocktails. We felt quite sad to read some of the negative reports on Coco Reef, but understand that everyone does have different opinions and expectations of holidays and hotels but for us we loved it and we will definitely return again to Coco Reef as do most of the guests who go year after year. Thank you all for a wonderful holiday and look forward to seeing you again soon.
