Hi all

Just returned from two weeks at the Coco Reef. Hi Ian and Hi Alison.
For anyone who is going to this hotel and have read the reviews and are feeling flat don't be. It is what you make of it. If you moan about everything then you will moan but if you go with an open mind then you will be pleasantly surprised. The hotel itself is very nice and we were in a delux ocean view room 250 and it was very good. Excellent sea view over Store Bay which we found very entertaining watching the people of Tobago enjoying themselves. You are in your own cocoon whilst you are at the hotel and to see the locals is great. The air conditioning I did not find too noisy as we could hear the waves crashing in on Store Bay. Food was good especially the restaurant at which you have to book. We found it very easy booking the table as we went down at 7 a.m. for breakfast after putting our towels on a sunbed at 6 a.m.!! Between 6-10 is the best part of the day before it gets too hot therefore we did not mind getting up at this time. The staff were very nice and it is true if you take the time to be friendly and smile they will always respond to you.

Rounding up - nice hotel, food good, accommodation clean, staff charming, beach better than other beaches which had sand flies!, water lovely and warm. It is a pity about the lack of sunshades.
