It is Not far down to Calibishie. The beds Are very comfortable. There Are mosquito nets on the windows, so problem with mosquitos in the Apartment.

Cons: WLAN was Not reliable, was better on the Second day though.

Pros: The area of Calibishie is one of the best of Dominica. Jacoway Inn is easy to find thanks to the signs on roads, near the village (walking distance half a mile) where shops and restaurants are. The chocolate factory and beaches are at walking distance. The studio apartment had all facilities to satisfy our needs (stove, fridge, fans, mosquito nets...), nicely decorated with a sea view. The room was bright, modern, airy, well built, and with wifi. Carol Ann is the best host we've met, friendly, helpful and bubbly. The breakfasts are always different and amazing! Home fresh bread, sweet cakes... Carol Ann caters to all needs with excellence. Thank you Carol Ann for your kindness and generosity, we were so sad to leave. Your place has high standards yet very good value. It was lovely meeting you. We won't forget you ❤. We all loved your welcome, as well as Wags'.

Cons: Nothing, it is the best place in Dominica by far.

Pros: Exceptional and extremely hospitable host, very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, Colorful house with very beautiful garden, had a great two night stay just minutes walk from Calibishie center. Highly recommended! Oh, and the breakfast was fabulous.

Cons: There is nothing to dislike about this place;)

Pros: Carol Ann is very friendly person, always ready to help you. She prepares rich and delicious breakfast. When you need to leave house early morning you will get for journey sandwiches and fresh local juice. Quit location closed to the most beautiful beaches on Dominica.

Pros: I like to walk, hike, to experience the place I am visiting. I was able to walk to beaches and to town. It was a great way to end my visit to the island.

Cons: My host arranged for my transport to the airport. The charge was twice as much as I expected to pay.

Pros: Everything was just loveley!! But we were especially impressed by the incredibly welcoming and warm-hearted Carol ( and Niguel ). From the first second on we fell in love with this beautiful island thanks to them. Not to speak of the over the moon breakfast of course. We hope to return one day and wish all the islanders much strength during this hard time.

Cons: That at the end we had to leave....

Pros: Jacoway Inn is a charming inn, with spacious rooms and located in a very convenient zone for exploring the north of Dominica. Carol Ann is an amazing host, she is very joyful and has a vast knowledge of the things to do on the island. And on top of all that, you add a delicious homemade breakfast and you will not want to leave! Gracias por todo!

Pros: The venue was very cozy. The location is ideal and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend.

Cons: The drainage in the shower.

Pros: The view

Pros: Amazing views and excellent service. The goat curry is delicious and there's a very good choice for breakfast. The hosts are lovely and very helpful with regards to what to do on the island, they also gave recommendations for other locations that we are travelling to.

Pros: Literally loved the staff and owners! Wonderful property...will be visiting again.

Cons: No tv or internet in room, but they went through a devastating hurricane so it was understandable that services were not yet restored

Pros: The owners and their staff could not do enough for you! The restaurant is excellent. A very good choice and cooked to perfectionh

Pros: Beautiful location. Great restaurant. Plantain chips and pico.

Pros: The hotel was welcoming and beautiful The Host Hermien and help are very helpful Being by the sea adds ambience to the stay The town of Calibishi is friendly and helpful

Pros: Enjoyed the owner and breakfast. Loved listening to the water @ night.

Cons: The fact that it was cash didn't jump out to me while I was booking it. I like tepid showers, but mine was cold and it would have been my last opportunity for almost a month.th.

Pros: Attractrive place, decor plus setting Good breakfast and really helpful owner

Cons: Nothing,though the beach is not good for swimming

Pros: Wonderful view, excellent home made breakfast, lovely owner

Cons: Proposing diner at night regarding how good the breakfast was :)

Pros: I loved Hermeine and CoCo I will miss them Felt like family

Cons: I loved everything

Pros: This property is a beautiful colourful place to stay. On the upper floor of the guesthouse you have a fabulous room and open terrace with a sun deck overlooking the ocean. It is very clean and comfortable, complete with fridge, kitchenette and kettle, everything you could need is provided. Hot water is via a clever solar bag shower system, although running water for a cooler shower is available and very refreshing. There are little supermarkets, a bar and restaurant within walking distance. Hermaine is a wonderful hostess and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. A lovely breakfast was also provided.

Cons: There is no beach here, only a little sand garden with no access to the ocean. It does have wonderful views from the verandas (hence it's nsme). Due to hurricane damage the town has no wifi/telephone line facilities, therefore a mobile data package is essential if you need to communicate with the outside world and you need to have cash as no ATMs/credit card facilities are currently working.

Pros: Nice location. Good breakfast.

Cons: A few mosquitoes but understandable post hurricane

Pros: Our host Hermien was totally awesome, a gem of a lady who went out of her way to cater for us (we are vegan) and provide such a relaxed and comfortable stay. Listening to the sea constantly was a treat of note.

Cons: Nothing negative at all

Pros: Friendly host, great views, central location, nice atmosphere.

Cons: Not much, maybe the small fridge too warm to make icecubes. No good was the tourguide Wendy offered for a day tour (just an expensive driver, no guiding).

Pros: The room was large and comfortable. The food was terrible. Unfortunately due to the hurricane the hotel looks like a building site. I would recommend tidying up the entrance at the side of the hotel as it looks like a mess. I was not happy with the greeting received as I booked for 2 adults and 2 children and the worker was surprised we had children with us and she didn’t make the sofa bed. It felt like we inconvenience her. We were famished and ordered lunch we soon regretted it. It was expensive and not enjoyable. The kids enjoyed the pool but it looks like a building site and there are health and safety issues such as the railings are not suitable for children and if not closely supervised, could easily result in an accident. The lady that was cleaning the pool was lovely. Breakfast was just as bad a lunch. Ordered a white coffee, 10 minutes later, the lady returned with a black coffee, no explanation. I understand it’s a business rebuilding after the hurricane and I am not purposely being harsh. I recommend improvement on customer service, food and a leaflet alerting customer the to continual changes to the hotel.

Pros: The property is in a nice location up on the hill quiet the room and the bathroom is spacious a lot of local art and furniture was locally made I like the fact that they provided the guest with a cell phone to keep in contact whenever they left the hotel which is a very thoughtful service that they provide and there is a beautiful view of the ocean

Cons: In all honesty the only thing I didn’t like about the hotel was at that moment the bathroom was not cleaned to it’s best because the bathroom smelled like urine when I walked in I went and buy my own cleaning products and try to clean it up of course I wasn’t able to do the best because I didn’t have a mop but the following day I requested that it be mopped properly and that help

Pros: What makes the Champs great is the people. A small place where the owners / managers / staff all know their guests and as such can offer tailored advice and make necessary arrangements to make for an enjoyable stay.

Cons: Pros + Staff / People + Ability to assist organising airport pickups / island tours. It felt like they could cater to any type of traveller. +Facilities : WiFi / pool / transport Cons - Portsmouth itself is 1hr or so away from Roseau by local bus . A lot of the tours / other attractions have transport leaving from Roseau so other arrangements might need to be made. However this makes the north coast / airport more accessible. Location did not limit our exploration of the island and if you were to rent a car you’d have no issues whatsoever.

Pros: Great service from start to finish! I requested an airport pick up and one of the owners was waiting for me at the airport, complete with a welcome drink for the journey to the hotel. The owners, Lise and Hans have been here for over 10 years and have a great love for Dominica. Although they, like many hoteliers, are rebuilding after the devastation of Hurricane Maria, the Hotel is clean, functional, complete with a pool, and the staff get to know you quickly and have your breakfast preferences waiting for you. The hotel has an amazing vista, all you need to do is step on to your personal balcony, and you can see Fort Shirley, the Cabrits, with the Saints and Guadeloupe in the background. The hotel has great connections to local tour operators, who really know the island inside out. As my first stop on Dominica, it was a great introduction to the island, and i would definitely stay there again! The room itself was clean, with a fan, safe and AC. The room was cleaned daily and anything needed is provided upon request.

Cons: There wasn't anything really. Just as a side note, the rebuilding works, don't interfere with your stay and are on one side of the building, but are audible after 10 am. Visitors need to bear in mind that nearlt all establishments on the island are rebuilding whilst welcoming tourists back. This is actually happening quite rapidly at The Champs, so by the time you get there, they will have completed a lot of it.

Pros: Very friendly staff, charming view & excellent food

Pros: The view breath taking, attentitive staff, great food and very clean. Full review on trip advisor.

Cons: The distance but worth it.

Pros: Nothing better than the view from the pool veranda at sunset with a kubuli in hand. Very friendly and welcoming owner.

Pros: Very good food. And what view❤️

Pros: Clean, friendly and helpful staff, pool, diner excellent

Cons: Nothing really apart from the front which doesn’t look like a hotel, breakfast : more choice would be appreciated :)

Pros: The breakfast was great... The pancakes were extra fluffy. I loved it.

Cons: Room too small and road access was terrible.

Pros: I love that place. The view is spectacular and the room is clean and comfortable! I would recommend that place for everyone visiting Dominica!

Pros: The gardens, the spacious room, the beautiful gardens

Cons: Well, everywhere in Dominica is still recovering from Hurricane Maria so I was not surprised to find that the internet and tv were not working

Pros: Very good breakfast with a beautiful view and very gracious & attentive staff

Pros: Very welcoming hosts, clean & comfortable, would love to return

Pros: Family run place, very pretty place. Extremely nice people and very close too the airport. They made me dinner and it was delicious. I would highly recommend

Cons: I liked it all

Pros: Nice bathroom, friendly staff. Close to airport

Cons: Room a bit simple, not possible to eat as we didn't ask earlier.

Pros: The owner acted friendly. The facility is located in a calm environment. Easy to reach. Close to the airport.

Cons: We had a budget room. The room was quite dark with bit stale air and with ants (even in bed). The fridge was really stinky and impossible to use. The prices in the facility (food/drinks) are rather high compared to the rest of the island.

Pros: The staff were superb, i was even given some free food with a couple of beers in the bar. There are local shops nearby but be careful they close early !

Cons: The room was advertised as having TV, fridge and AC, none of which my room had ! Take a torch for the short uphill climb, there is no road lighting.

Pros: The room is large and clean. The staff are very helpful - Elvin in particular was excellent, and gave me lots of advice. He knows his whiskies! There is very effective air conditioning and hot water (but you may have to wait a bit for it to come through). The location is very handy for the airport (but main attractions are further away). The hotel has a simple bar, and there is also one over the road (2 mins walk) where I was tolerated, but didn't feel particularly welcome!

Cons: A couple of bottles of water and a glass would be useful things too provide. Otherwise, I liked it all.

Pros: A lovely hotel, pretty garden and pleasant room.

Cons: Would have been good to have a menu with prices.

Pros: Tom and Sharie have been wonderful hosts! They shared so much of their knowledge of the island and guided us through our discoveries. The hotel itself is beautiful: nice view, comfortable rooms. The view from the rooftop is amazing and Sharie cooks like a chef! We will be back for sure!

Cons: To be honest we have enjoyed EVERYTHING!

Pros: The very beautiful, clean and well decorated with taste appartment. The terrace with sea view. The hospitality and kindness of our hosts. Cherie and Tom are very sweet people, helpful if you need any information about the island and they care about their customers well being. Gracias Cherie por la riquissima cena y sobre todo tus tostones divinos !

Cons: Nothing !

Pros: I couldn't recommend the Wanderlust Boutique hotel more highly. Tom and Cherie were wonderful hosts, welcoming, and happy to help us plan where to go around the island with superb recommendations. The breakfast were great, rooms superbly furnished in a lovely style, with gorgeous views over the ocean. The hotel is a short walk from the lovely village of Calisbhie, with a nice beach a couple of minutes walk away.

Pros: The view , the extremely helpful and friendly hosts , the food ,very restful place ...the best of comfort in a fantastic natural setting

Pros: the friendly staff made us feel welcomed immediately. Nigels is a multi task guy and he is great at it all. he makes a mean margarita. and we had such a wonderful dinner which includes complimentary dessert. the owner was very pleasant and welcoming to all guests during dinner she walked around and greeted us all as if we were family visitin for the night. I was on a week long vacation elsewhere on the island and spent the night before we flew home and if ever back in Dominica I will definitely plan a stay there again

Cons: my stay was only 1 night. I wanted ro stay another night :-(

Pros: Great location

Cons: Needs some good maintainable Meals are slightly overpriced

Pros: Good supper but a little expensive. Also drinks were expensive

Cons: River pool was not good for swimming. Additional tax added Given the wrong room Poor wifi

Pros: Very isolated area just beside spring

Cons: No WIFI in the room, Room were smelling terribly bad (need major maintenence)

Pros: Everything! The staff: Nigel, Paula, Cai, Shanaia, and Andres treated us like family, helping us every step of the way. Nigel is one of the best chefs you could ever imagine...I absolutely enjoyed the meals he prepared for us ...He deserves 5 Stars for every delicious, nutritious dinner, and for being always caring/sharing, extremely knowledgeable, an expert professional! Paula is such a special, beautiful lady managing to create the most amazing best trips for us, and blessing us! Cai, Shanaia, and Andres also blessed us with their kindness, and always looking out for us... We loved staying for our 2 week stay at this incredibley gorgeous, green/flower and fruit filled place...the gardens are a true joy, and reflect the lush beauty that Dominica is...swimming in the Paguan river was one of our favorites any time of the day...and we lived the loyal doggies...missing our sweet Lady.... Will come again...will recommend to anyone...Bless Up!

Cons: We loved everything about Hibiscus Valley In!

Pros: Not luxurious but everything is comfortable and just right. Loveliest staff, beautiful gardens and excellent food.

Pros: Location, Nature (like living in the garden) all around us! Dinners tasty, assistance of staff, dogs, pick up/drop of at the ferry (fee)

Cons: breakfasts could be improved, pooooor wifi,

Pros: The spring behind the hotel is very clean, we can swim very comfortably.

Pros: The location was great, just across the street from the river. The area is surrounded by locals. The staff make the place feel very welcoming and give it a feeling of community.

Cons: The room was unfortunately rather dark because of how the windows are built. We did not have a fridge, a container for food (to protect against insects and other animals) or any food storage opportunities. since there are no restaurants in the area (or dominica as a whole) this meant that we couldn't store or cook our own food and ended up eating at the inn every evening. The food was good, but there was no real choice and it was not cheap. We also had a few problems with insects as well, we had a rash after the first night there. You cannot really complain about insects and animals in Dominica, however this was the only place where some kind of bug attacked us at night.

Pros: The staff is really amazing! They helped me with everything. I didn’t have boots to hike and they gave me a pair! Honestly it was a great staying in Dominica, in the middle of the nature! WiFi wasn’t working but it’s cause the hurricane and the condition of the electricity in the island! In general I recommend it to everyone: it’s like to be at home! :)

Pros: People are very nice. There's a river with natural pool on the other side of the road (although not very well indicated and arranged). The garden is nice.

Cons: No Air Con, lot of insects, no food for lunch, no wifi in the rooms (and very slow at reception), rooms and furnitures are quite old. There's nothing around, no restaurants, no shop.

Pros: The cottage was on a cliff and the wind made it pleasant and cool.

Cons: there is no or very little facilities nearby to shop for food and even in the supermarkets in Calibishie the assortment is very limited

Pros: The staff was friendly, cheerful and helpful. The room was clean. I do believe that I'll come again.

Cons: The power went out for quite some time in our room, it took some time to come back on which I understand is not the fault of the employees.

Pros: Reception staff great Bar staff fantastic

Cons: Bigger beds needed

Pros: Excellent food in the restaurant. Peace and quiet. views of the sea from the property

Cons: it lived up to being a 3 star hotel. you need a cr or take ataxi to get around as expected

Pros: I loved the area. The room was small but comfortable. The property was beautiful, clean and quiet.

Cons: Where do I begin...it was my birthday weekend So my bf and i decided to spend the night at a hotel..upon check in, i didn't received a complimentary drink, nothing. i was informed that the room was $38 more than the price which was shown on bookings.com, since taxes had not been included. Fine.. I attempted to pay using my ATM card. The paper which came out from the ATM Machine kept saying "Connection error" or what ever. After several trials, to no avail i decided to just pay in cash. I asked about the Television. I was told that there were no flat screen or smart tv's in the room(They had the big box tv's which were presently not functional) and also that they will try to upgrade to one as soon as possible. My bf and I held our Amazon fire stick, hoping to enjoy a movie night. Another disappointment. We we taken to our rooms. We tried putting on the A/C. The remote wasn't working! I called front desk. They sent a technician but i swear he had no idea what to do. He went out to get new batteries, by the time he came back it was on. It was a good thing my bf is an A/c Technician so he used some app on his phone to turn it on. It seemed to have a problem because the air wasn't as cool as it's supposed to be. sigh..It was already late so we went out to buy some food in Portsmouth, returned to the hotel, ate and went straight to bed. The next day, we were tired and lazy so we decided to request room service for breakfast. We called front desk. No one answered. After calling several times and no one answered, i decided to go downstairs to find out what was happening. i met the young lady who was supposed to be at the front desk at someone else's desk having a conversation. When she saw me, she came up to me and asked who i was looking for. So, i explained to her that i had been calling front desk for almost half an hour now and didn't get through. I asked her what would have happened if i was sick or dying up there.

Pros: Location in Portsmouth was good!

Cons: Pictures show hotel before the hurricane, unfortunately not everything has been rebuild yet

Pros: First of all, Dominica is still recovering from the hurricane Maria, so is the hotel. Photos on booking.com are from previous years. Most of the facilities are restored, but some are still to go (like the pier), but it is not a major problem. The hotel is virtually next to the beach. As there were very few guests in the hotel during my stay, it was almost a private beach. There is a very good restaurant named "Le Flambeau" next to the hotel and cottages, open almost the entire day (breakfast is also served there). Prices are affordable and meals are tasty. There were a microwave and spacious fridge (important to put your bottled water to keep it cold) which are useful. Grocery shops as well as an ATM are present just across the street. Parking is spacious and free of charge. Staff is very friendly and helpful, they give advise and help you organizing your activities (I took the trip to Indian River). Airport DOM (Melville Hall) is 50-55 min drive, capital Roseau is around 1h.

Cons: Due to the catastrophic hurricane in 2017, there are still some minor issues like there was no shampoo in the room and occasional power disruptions, but the staff was very friendly and offered me another room. Price is not too high, however should be a bit lower to align it with other accommodations in Dominica.

Pros: Refrigerator, pretty grounds, sunsets at your toe tips. Close to the shanties at Ross U; great food and conversation there. Staff fantastic. Plenty of hot water. WIFI worked great.

Cons: No fan, no flow thru air so had to use AC. Beach has debris that should be cleaned up, The "snorkel" at the reef jetty is a wreck...can't use the jetty at all. No swimming pool; looks like there is one in same advertising that tells you about jetty and snorkeling that doesn't really excist. Hall way lights keep room light all night. Sign for road to hotel is one block off and leads to dead end.

Pros: The place is comfortable. Would stay there again if visiting someone in Portsmouth

Cons: All rooms need an iron and ironing board. This should be standard for all hotels

Pros: The bed was really comfortable and there were fair space in the room. Also you can enjoy a great view of the beach.

Cons: There were no hot water in the bathroom. We tried to get a good excursion but the deals proposed by the hotel were so expensive and everything was a bit confusing (no catalogues or written information). In the end the restaurant of the hotel, despite the great location, was poor quality and really high prices, and payment by card was not available.

Pros: The restaurant is now working better with more dishes, happy to see that they managed to overtake the difficulties caused by last year's hurricane. Good wi-fi and air conditioning. Decent room. You pay what you get.

Cons: Needs upgrading in the toilets.

Pros: Friendliness of the people, Welcoming Dominica... They are perhaps not the most skilled, but oh, man, they try their utmost and really, really go the extra mile and smile! Resto on premises is a separate owner (no credit card or booking on room), but definitely one of the best in the neighborhood!

Cons: Level of comfort is way below website pictures. rooms are noisy, shower was cold, fridge did not work and had a terrible smell, room was not serviced, reception opened late on a public holiday, light in the hallway shining directly in the room; no television (is no problem, but then simply remove the dangling connection cable, no?).
