Coco Reef rests on the sheltered south-west coast, five minutes from Crown Point Airport and only five miles from Scarborough. The hotel sits neatly between Store Bay’s lively curve and Pigeon Point’s famous point of white sand. A short stroll brings small cafés and craft stalls, yet the estate itself holds expansive views across its reef-protected lagoon.

One hundred and thirty-five rooms, suites and villas line two pastel wings. Each space shows floral fabrics, hand-crafted wicker and bright wall stencils. Superior Rooms frame garden greenery; Deluxe options face the sea from tiled balconies. Three unique suites raise the level with extra lounge space, bespoke art and sweeping ocean outlooks that glow pink at dawn.

Days may begin with a guided walk through the Grafton bird sanctuary or a cycle to local villages for sweet bread and fresh cocoa tea. Afternoon could bring a glass-bottom boat to Buccoo Reef, a tour of Scarborough’s market or a hike to Fort King George for expansive island views. Evenings end with dancing in Tobago’s weekly street lime or a moonlit swim in the warm lagoon.

A complimentary Fitness Centre overlooks garden palms and offers Cybex cardio stations and free weights. Coco Spa hides nearby in cool cream arches where therapists soothe with island coconut oils, manicures and full facials. The Gallery Bar fills each evening with soft steel-pan tunes, while landscaped paths lead to lawns set for tennis, sunset yoga or quiet reading.

Tamara’s Restaurant serves tropical buffets at breakfast and dinner, pairing local fruit with fresh seafood under a wide verandah roof. Bacchanals Bistro sits on the sand, offering Caribbean lunches, themed buffets and late suppers lit by fairy lights. The Gallery Bar pours chilled rum punch from five, while Bobster’s Bar pops champagne cocktails before you drift to dinner.

Couples choose the jetty for vows framed by sea spray; business retreats prefer the Coco Room overlooking manicured lawns. Florists weave tropical blooms, chefs craft calypso menus, and planners arrange string trios or lively soca bands. From intimate anniversaries to sparkling galas, every event closes with the hush of waves and a clear starry sky.
