Coco Reef Resort & Spa

I visited with my wife and 2 year old. The sheltered beach at the hotel was calm enough for my toddler not to be frightened by the sound of the waves, as he was in Storebay. We had a wonderful day at the nearby Being with Horses tour, 15 mins away at Bucccoo and there was even a pony for my toddler to ride. The transport organized by the hotel was on time and courteous. The room was clean with a sea and garden view. The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of foods. The lunch and dinner menus were a bit limited but still delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel qualifies as a major art venue by itself and is beautifully designed. Overall a very good experience, worth the price, which is a bit on the pricey side to be honest.

I returned to Coco Reef in July 2025, having last stayed there 20 years ago. Some might say it hasn’t changed much in that time — but for me, that’s exactly the point. Its timeless charm is what sets it apart. The location is unbeatable: a private, secluded beach with snorkelling right on your doorstep, sea-facing rooms, and sweeping views. The hotel’s scale is something you rarely see today — an enormous lobby, oversized rooms, wide open spaces, and a long, graceful driveway. Modern resorts simply aren’t built this way anymore. Yes, the property shows its age here and there, but it is immaculately clean. More importantly, the staff are genuinely kind and attentive. During our stay, the owners even had a troubleshooter on-site, actively identifying areas for improvement — a sign they care about its future. The food deserves special mention. The breakfast buffet is outstanding, with plenty of local dishes, while the restaurant exceeded all expectations (try the Mahi Mahi — unforgettable). Coco Reef suits both families and couples. For romance, hire a private boat directly from the hotel’s harbour and tour the island. For fun, hop on a party boat from neighbouring Store Bay. We took a trip straight from the private beach with local skipper Brandon — an incredible way to experience Tobago’s tropical sea life up close. In short, Coco Reef offers a rare kind of Caribbean experience — authentic, relaxed, and full of character. It’s not about glossy perfection, but about warmth, atmosphere, and memories that last. That’s why, for me, it’s a clear 5/5. I wish the Coco Reef every success in attracting more international visitors in the future and getting the investment it deserves.

I booked for their basic accommodation: garden view room with breakfast and added dinner meal plan to my booking. Exactly as you see this place online in pictures and videos, same in person. Clean, serene, quiet (loved this part), accommodating. Very helpful staff. I stayed on the ground floor. Between their pool and the beach very short walk. Shower available to wash off sand on whole body or a low tap to wash feet only. Beautiful sunsets, photo shoot opportunities every evening. Each evening, dinner was most enjoyed. The chef did a great job. A menu was given to choose what I wanted.

We stayed at Coco Reef Resort in May 2025. While the location is beautiful and the resort has a lot of potential, our overall experience was disappointing due to the condition of the property. The furnishings and appliances were old. Water pressure was low. The walls in our room were dirty, and we noticed ants on the floor upon entry of our room. The television had poor signal, and several channels didn’t display at all. During breakfast, birds frequently landed on tables and food trays, which was concerning. On a positive note, the staff was pleasant and attended to our requests in a timely manner. They did what they could within the limits of the facility.

Coco reef is just paradise! It is on the Caribbean side of the Island which has the most amazing beaches. The private beach in the hotel is beautiful and built into a cove so is perfectly calm. There is even snorkelling around the rocks with some gorgeous fish. The food is incredible! A buffet style breakfast with so much choice: everything from a variety of fruits to a delicious hot breakfast. Lunch you can choose off the menu - we had most things during our stay, tuna salad was unbelievable but everything so tasty. Evening meal again is chosen off a menu - once again a nice selection with so much choice and everything we had was delicious. The staff make the hotel! All so friendly and kind. My glass of wine was poured as I walked to the bar! We had a small issue meaning we had to change room (totally out of the hotel’s control) - Ester was brilliant and could not have been more helpful. Location is great - walking distance to Crown Point town, pigeon point beach (stunning) and even the airport 😂, but strangely you can’t even hear the occasional plane that comes in. We hired a car for two days which was cheap and efficient. In conclusion, if we don’t come back to Coco Reef we have simply failed in life! Thank you so much! Liam

Located about ten minutes walking distance from the airport, Coco Reef is a Shangri La with comfortable rooms, beautiful staff, delicious food and a beautiful, safe, private beach. It can quite easily be a setting for a James Bond movie, complete with helicopter landing pad and a gold coloured Rolls Royce. The scenic curved entrance gives way to a driveway winding through a beautifully manicured botanical garden, ending at a roundabout with water features. The entrance to the lobby reveals breathtaking ocean views. On arrival you are provided with a welcome drink. The corridors are lined with beautiful paintings paying homage to its past and the heritage of the island. The rooms are clean, cheerful and furnished with curved wicker furniture. The bathroom is well stocked with toiletries. The buffet breakfast caters to every taste. Attention to detail is evident everywhere, even in the public washrooms close to the beach. The staff is professional, efficient, friendly and works like one unit in love and camaderie. Special thanks to Mr. Kern, Mr. Tristan Kay, Ariel, Mikela, the omelet cook, the Tamara Restaurant Manager, the Karaoke Master of Ceremonies, Housekeeping. Ms. Pearl whom I 've not met but whom all the staff greets lovingly as they pass by reception.
