Cocoa Cottages: Best B&B around Roseau

Just back from splendid Dominica, we're sincerely eager to pass on OUR address, which SHOULD be listed by VirtualTourist : Cocoa Cottages

15 min above Roseau on the road to Trafalgar Falls, it is just THE PERFECT PLACE to choose to conveniently explore the many riches (nature and sea) around, without having to rent a car (frequent public mini-buses except on week ends, and hitch-hike works very well !)

Beautiful settings and views, intelligent local architecture, confortable room, a very efficient and friendly owner, Iris, who will be happy to advise you on your program and share with you her delicious dinners, if you wish. Her home-made jams at breakfast are a treat and her chocolate (elaborated from the production of her own trees !) is an absolute delight

Be sure to ask for Geoffrey as we did, her excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable chauffeur/trekking expert, and don't hesitate to call on Richard who operates on the premices a very professional canyoning operation, for both first timers and experts : Extreme Dominica.

Just in case, the website for direct bookings (as we did, browsing the Web from France) is
We'll definitely be back !

Unique Quality: Altogether a very special place : convenient location, great views, excellent management, comfortable rooms, delicious food

Fort Young Hotel: Restored Hotel dating from the 1770's

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 Quality: 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.

Fort Young Hotel: Fort Young Hotel

We stayed here for 1 night. The hotel is in an old fort and has a lot of facilities ( waterfront restaurant, café, pool, bar and shops).
Our room had a good standard.
On Fridays there is a live band playing and in the courtyard there is a good value barbecue ( 16 EC pP), don’t miss the Happy Hour ( 18.00- 19.00 pm) at the bar for beers and punches. The rum-punch is excellent!
It is not far from the market. Go there an Saturday mornings and have a look at all the fruits and flowers. But it is very crowded!

Hibiscus Valley Inn: Hibiscus Valley Inn

We stayed 3 nights in the Hibiscus Valley Inn and enjoyed it!

Unique Quality: The price was good and the location is very pleasant, the facilities are basic and spartan.
There is also a mosquito net, but you don’t need it! No mosquito there, during our stay.
And the very best is the hammock for relaxing among the tropical garden.

The staff was very friendly and outgoing, and we learned a lot about the Dominican way of life!

The river across the road is great for a refreshing swim (every morning and evening.

Tamarind Tree Hotel: Tamarind tree

Stayed there for 3 nights in a standard room.
Hotel on a cliff ( beautifull seaview from the balcony), easy to find, located 30 minutes from Roseau off the mainroad to Portsmouth.
Comfortable room, big bed, fridge and fan.
Recommend a stay.
Continental breakfast ( fresh German- style bread and try the Lime- Pepper- Jelly) in an open restaurant with seaview.
Dinner was good ( we had fish) but we missed the "local colour"
The restaurant is closed Tuesday.
Also german speaking staff.

Unique Quality: Pool or a 5 minutes walk to the beach. Small beach, but ok for a swim. Black sand.

Fort Young Hotel: Sleep in a Bit of History

The original part of this hotel was built as a fort in 1770. There are many different levels of accomodation and prices to match. We were here on a cruise so didn't stay here but I didhave a look around and it seemed very nice. For what it's worth, the cast of "Pirates of the Caribbean-Dead Man's Chest" stayed here while filming the movie.

Fort Young: Nicest in Rosseau

This is the most modern of the hotels on the island. It has been recently renovated, so you can pick from old rooms or new ones. I stayed in one of the old rooms and it was great for island standards. We had a private balcony overlooking the pool, hot tub and sea. As the name suggests, this used to be an old British fort from back around the time the Brits were fighting Napoleon. They have two restaurants, one of which is a step back in the direction of civilization where imported steaks are served as well as fresh fish and creole dishes. I recommend this place especially if you want to stay in the city. The Garrison Hotel is right across the street with comprible prices but I haven't seen the rooms. It looks more like your traditional motel while Fort Young is like a litle community of bungalows.
