“It’s tremendously rewarding to reach this milestone of ten straight wins for Coco Reef – Tobago,” said Mr. Jefferis. “Although I continue to invest millions of dollars in the resort every year, our guests clearly indicate that our success is due to the dedication, professionalism and genuine friendliness of the wonderful management and staff at the Coco Reef Resort in Tobago, who consistently exceed our guests’ expectations with regards to service and providing an unforgettable experience.”
