The hotel

This elegant hotel lies in its own beautiful well-tended gardens. The ambience created in the hotel attracts a high rate of repeat visitors and the level of service here is top notch — you'll be impressed by the little touches, like speedy check-in, nightly turn-down service and Champagne cocktails at the intimate Bobster's Champagne Bar. During the day, you can choose from a range of non-motorised water sports and treatments at the tranquil spa, or simply relax by the pool or in the gallery lounge with afternoon tea overlooking the ocean. The private white sand beach is one of the best on the island with a specially built lagoon to create a calm swimming area for kids. You will find superb cuisine in two restaurants for both buffet dining and à la carte dining.

We have been coming to CoCo Reef for perhaps 25 years - before Eric was GM (he was F&B manager at the time). Coco Reef was Eric and vice-versa. It was the reason that so many guests returned without fail year after year. Our trip in March was wonderful as always. Whilst a lick of paint here and there was perhaps needed (and where in the heat of the Caribbean is that not the case) and the food not quite up to Michelin standards, the lovely, relaxing ambiance persisted, and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. No doubt the owners had their reasons, but to part with such a superb and committed manager - especially in such troubled times and with no communication to regular guests - can perhaps be best explained as an error of judgement. After so many years of loyal support, we, as many others, are unlikely to return. Read less

Having visited Coco Reef for 7 years and realising that our repeat visits were mainly down to our amazing friend Eric Feniet and his very capable staff, imagine our shock on hearing of Eric's untimely and unsavoury dismissal when trying to book for this year. There's no doubt in our minds that Eric was the Coco Reef! What an amazing and thoughtful host, nothing escaped his notice and he and his staff tried their utmost, every single day, to ensure you had the best time ever! Believe me when I say we did. What hard times for the global travel industry at the moment, what a huge error of judgement to dismiss the one person who could have pulled Coco Reef up by the bootlaces to resume it's former glory once travel and tourism is up and running again after this terrible pandemic as we, like many others will not be returning.

We have visited Coco Reef for over 17 years. The glue that held the hotel,( literally), together was Mr Eric Feniet. Year on year, we noticed that the hotel had declined more. The building was painted but no one attended to the fabric of the building. We realised we were not getting value for our money but loved the location of the hotel and the consistent bonhomie of Eric. Eric never wavered in giving his all amidst adverse conditions. It was plain to see that he put his heart and soul into running the Coco Reef. His tenacity is to be admired. We always wondered why the owner never invested in this hotel yet had opened new ones in other locations. The hotel was just being left to decay while still charging its guests top prices. I hope that Eric is being treated well - he deserves a medal for battling against all odds. Many people have met Eric and the world is a small place. It transpired he started his first job in a hotel a few miles from where we live in the UK. We all leave a footprint and Eric has certainly left his - dedication and service to his customers. History is irreversible. Read less

Home for Christmas- exactly how I came to view Coco Reef during the three wonderful consecutive Christmases myself and my partner, Nigel Amon, enjoyed there. I will never forget my first glimpse of its beautiful and welcoming Christmas lights. The reason Coco Reef became a home from home for us at Christmas was solely due to the wonderful manager Mr Eric Feniet for whom the saying “You arrive as guests and leave as friends” could have been written. Aside from the excellent and faultless service provided and the delightful Christmas festivities organised by Mr Feniet and his team, it was the personal and heartfelt gestures from Mr Feniet which meant so very much to us. We were therefore shocked and greatly saddened (not to mention extremely perplexed) to hear his invaluable services of some 25 years had been so callously and unfathomably dispensed with. We look forward to following Mr Feniet’s future career and to visiting him at his next resort on which he will undoubtedly bestow his magic touch. Without Mr Feniet, Coco Reef is no longer our home from home. Thank you Eric for the precious memories. Rosalyn Walsh Read less
