Dominica Hotels

Once you get to this hotel, the experience is supurb! Liat Airlines makes it very difficult to get there, but the hotel, and it's people are wonderful. I started off in a very negative mindset, because of Liat-(when we got to the hotel at 10:45- instead of 7- there were not options for food- or drink, except to walk into a very dicey looking town- not good at any level!). Waking up from one of the worst travel adventures (and hotel greetings) in many years, it's hard to believe that I could still walk away, giving such a positive review! The Hotel is a very unusual property, but very well done, elegant and comfortable. Every person (outside of the first night), went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Truely a beautiful island (better than advertised), the people everywhere were great! From the travel desk (Sonja) to the guide (Martin) that stayed with us as we snorkeled, hiked, and whale watched, they could not be more helpful! Probably a little more fun when more in season, the hotel was nicley done with the scenery and pools. There are so many things to do on this island, I wished we stayed longer! We had planned this trip expecting to come back and visit the other sides of the island, but LIAT truely would make us think about coming back. We had issues (losing the whole plane's luggage, etc.) on both sides of the trip. I hope the hotel can pressure the only airline to become real, because this truely was great in every other way!

These apartments are part of the Calibishies lodges and are about a 10 minute walk uphill from the lodges and restuarant. You need a car to get to them if you are not keen on a short but strenuous walk. The view is superb! The kitchens were minimally appointed and the can opener did not work well. I would stay in the lodges which also have kitchenettes and adjoin the restuarant, bar and pool. Staff is excellent.
