  • Cherry Lodge Guest House, Roseau
    Unbeatable price for low maintenance individuals: $E.C. 33-76 Eastern Caribbean dollars = $12-28 U.S. dollars per night!!!

    Unique Qualities: For price, originality, true West Indian service, and low cost I STRONGLY recommend the Cherry Lodge Guest House. Everyone in the area knows this very antique guest house and a taxi from the Melville Airport can get you there in about 1 hour 30 minutes.
    This is a quaint very old building, and this former 'mansion' has been in the Tavanere family for more than 100 years. There is no air conditioning or seperate bathrooms to each individual room. You can request a room with bathroom, however. Breakfast will be served every morning except Sunday at no later than 9 A.M. The wonderful and intriguing, Veron, will visit your room to clean daily. She is quite a character. When calling to book your room, you can ask for Zinnia Tavenere the proprietor.

  • This hotel is stunning. The rooms are very spacious, clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished, as is the rest of the hotel. Our room had a balcony over the sea, we woke up to the sound of the waves lapping below.
    The Fort Young Hotel has 73 guestrooms and suites, all of which have a balcony or patio with ocean views. Rooms are outfitted with redwood furnishings and offer cable/satellite TV, direct-dial phones, and air conditioning. Deluxe Oceanfront rooms have hair dryers, iron/ironing boards, in-room safes, bathtubs, and coffeemakers.

    Unique Qualities: Ranked #2 in all of Dominica.
    The views over the Caribbean sea with Scott's Head to the left are incredible. The food is fresh and delicious and the staff can't do enough to help. Lovely memories, I'd go back again and again.

    Beau Rive: A luxurious accomodation

  • Beautiful room at Beau Rive

  • Beau Rive is an amazing bed and breakfast style hotel. The proprietor, Mark Steele, took years to build this small paradise. It's an amazing, civilized escape in this overall wild island. The rooms were lovely and breezy and all of the rooms have ocean views. Every guest room has an ocean view and includes the following: One queen-size bed, veranda, private shower room, tea and coffee making facilities, and a ceiling fan.

    Unique Qualities: Bed and breakfast

    Current rates are as follows: Single $123 USD-Double $160-Triple $195 with a two night stay minimum. Includes taxes and service charges. For three nights or less full payment due upon booking. For stays of four nights or more a 50% deposit is required. A 30-day cancellation is needed for refunds minus a 5% credit card transaction fee. Otherwise, there are no refunds here irregardless of the reason!

    The food was amazing. Mark uses many of his own recipes invented by using local produce.
    Breakfast is complimentary continental style, and the dinner menu changes daily for $30 USD pp. The only meat served here is chicken or fish, and most of the menu is vegetarian.

    There is even a piano and a lovely pool. I'll definitely stay with at the Beau Rive again. I recommend this amazing place to everyone. One tip, do NOT leave the light on in the room when you leave. Dominica is loaded with strange and interesting bugs...

     Wow; the things we learn on VT! Thanks so much for sharing all your stories & info & great photos - top 5 stars all around! For the time being I'm not travelling for beaches, so this summer it's back to Scotland! What about you? Have a great day / Jess

     Excellent useful tips on Dominica. Hope I can visit the Caribbean one day. Right now have to be happy with just postcards from there :) SL

     Really good pix, Brooks. How are you?
    Stephen-KarenConn Tue Aug 7, 2007 12:31 UTC
     Some excellent tips here. The low ratings puzzle me. Maybe some kind of VT glitch. I was in Dominica about 20 years ago, arrived and departed on a LIAT prop which held only about 10 passengers. The island was very undeveloped - and absolutely georgeous.
