Hi, My husband and I are just back from Coco Reef (yesterday in fact) and the hotel was half empty. It was great. The beach was very quiet and the pool was practically empty too. There were no problems either in dining or in finding any sun loungers either at the pool or on the beach. The hotel staff were really great, very friendly people and would bend over backwards to help you with anything. We were treated like royalty from start to finish. We had a deluxe ocean view room and it was lovely - lots of space. The flight was a bit of a pain - we left Gatwick and landed first in Antigua and were not allowed off the plane - wasn't too bad on the way out but coming back it was a nightmare. Left Tobago on time and arrived in Antingua and sat on the plan for over two hours. No drinks were handed out to us plebs in the World Traveller section although it had been announced that they would be coming round with some - but in Club World they had at least three drinks or more to our none!!!! Next time I fly with BA I am definitely upgrading on the return journey. The flight was overbooked from Antigua on the way home so it was like sardines - couldn't move and I ended up with a very sore back. The food was OK and the crew were very good too. Apparently this is a really quiet time for Coco Reef so I would be surprised if it was crowded by the time you go. Hope you enjoy yourself as much as we did. Lorna P S Will you say hello go Andrew the security manager from me (Lorna from Scotland - he should know who I am!!)
