Dominica hotels

Many hotels across Dominica offer features and services geared towards families. Cloud9 Dominica Boutique Hotel in Calibishie has family rooms and kitchen facilities, as well as available board games for family nights and packed lunches for picnics or a hike. The Champs in Portsmouth also has board games and packed lunches available and has swimming pool toys and kids’ meals too. La Flamboyant in Roseau offers a kid-friendly buffet along with kid meals, family rooms and laundry facilities for your convenience.

Before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, usually around February or March, Dominica celebrates Carnival on the prior Monday and Tuesday. Most of the festivities take place in Roseau, including the official ceremonies and parades. You can book at a wide range of hotels, including St. James Guesthouse and Sutton Place Hotel, both with complimentary breakfast and are just a 5 min walk to the city center, as well as the Fort Young Hotel, with outdoor pool overlooking the sea and childcare services if you want to enjoy Carnival’s late-night fun even if you’re traveling with your kids.

Portsmouth Beach Hotel sits right on a stretch of private beach in Picard. It also offers terraces and a picnic area with sea views so that you can enjoy the island breezes, perhaps with a packed lunch or something you made yourself in the kitchenette. Sea Cliff Cottages outside of Calibishie sits just above Hodges Beach and River, which you can reach by a short path downhill. And each cottage has its own full kitchen, living room, yard, and terrace area, so you can make yourself at home in the Caribbean.
