Great holiday at Coco Reef
Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2005 3:47 pm
My family and I had a wonderful holiday at the Coco Reef in early September. Having stayed at many 4*+ resorts in the Caribbean and elsewhere in the world, I have no hesitation in recommending the Coco Reef.
The plus factors:-
- excellent friendly, well trained, staff and attentive service
- good food
- good swimming and snorkelling with lots of fish in the shallows
- friendly locals
- well appointed and maintained bedrooms
- quiet and peaceful ambiance
- beautiful gardens and surroundings and clean beach
- plenty of sunbeds
- good selection of day and evening boat trips up the west coast
- stunning sunsets
- short distance from the airport
- no hawkers on the beach
I am usually quite critical but, genuinely, the only complaint I had was that they only provided BBC World from midnight until 0600hrs. Most of the guests were from the UK and keeping up with world news and UK sport, courtesy of CNN, can be rather frustrating! The management team are aware of this and were hoping to rectify it - not that you spend much time watching television anyway, but the cricket was on whilst we were there!
Other minor irritations - the birds at breakfast and insect bites at sunset , but you expect that in the Caribbean.
Would we return - most certainly!
Finally, I found the http://www.mytobago.info site most informative and useful.
Thank you.
