Having just returned from a brilliant 2 weeks holiday at the Coco Reef Hotel, and having visited the My Tobago website lots of times before we went on holiday, we just wanted to pass on our comments. The Coco Reef is a fab hotel - smashing site, lovely food and excellent service from very friendly staff.
We particulalry enjoyed being able to swim in safety from the hotel's beach and it was brilliant (for a not very good swimmer like me) to be able to snorkel in safety, for as long as I wanted each day, just off the beach. The sea wall is home to a good variety of fish of all sizes (one lucky guest even saw an octopus one day but I could't find it).
As we booked quite late we had a garden room, rather than one of the more popular sea view rooms - but actually preferred this when we realised it meant a cottage tucked away in a quiet spot in the lovely hotel garden.
Our favourite trip out from the hotel was a day's sailing on a 35' yacht along the coast to Angel Reef where we snorkelled.
We agree with your comments on this hotel that there is nothing to occupy children over about 3 - 4 years old other than swimming.
The only item on our wish list for the Coco Reef would have been the ability to walk from the hotel beach along a stretch of neighbouring beach. Unfortunately the geography of the area makes this impossible. However, the safe bathing and snorkelling from the hotel beach more than makes up for this.
