Tipping practices have varied widely among our guests, reflecting varying customs and uncertainty as to the appropriate amount. Effective November 1, 2024, we are instituting a service charge of 8% for villa guests, and tipping is no longer suggested. Guests who have booked prior to this date will not be billed this service charge, and tipping is at their discretion. For guests in the self-catering cottage, no tipping is anticipated, though it is certainly welcome for exceptional service.

TRANSPORTATION

Travel to Dominica can be a challenge, and the best ways to get to the island change and evolve.

We are very pleased to share news of the first non-stop flights to Dominica from the United States, on American Airlines out of Miami, begun in December, 2021, Bravo! Frequency of flights varies seasonally, but the flights leave Miami a bit after 10 AM.

Dominica has been reached by air through San Juan (Silver/Seaborne), St. Maarten (WinAir, Air Antilles), Antigua (Caribbean Airlines and Winair), Barbados (Caribbean Airlines and InterCaribbean) or Tortola (interCaribbean).

If you are coming through Martinique or Guadeloupe (usually the best route from France), consider the L’Express des Iles ferry to Roseau.

The status of flights (and airlines) serving Dominica tends to change fairly commonly, so consider the above a very tentative starting point.

On the island, most of our guests rent cars. We have received consistently excellent service from Bonus Rentals, working through our friend and neighbour, Lynn Warrington (767-235-2651). WE CAUTION AGAINST DRIVING TO THE VILLA IF YOU ARRIVE AFTER DARK AND YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH DRIVING ON DOMINICA! Lynn can generally pick you at the airport or ferry port, drive you to the villa and provide your car in the morning. We have no financial arrangement with either Bonus or Lynn.

Public transportation is available but limited on the island. It is a reasonable option if your main goal is to chill at the villa, Pointe Baptiste beach and Calibishie (which can be a great option).

OTHER SERVICES

Both yoga classes and massages can be arranged at the villa with Emma Satya MacCallum. Emma has extensive training and experience as a teacher and practitioner in the Caribbean, Europe and India. Her work is exceptional. She is also open to retreats at the villa focused on yoga and healing arts. Please inquire!

We can connect you with excellent certified guides to help you explore the island. Our guides know which hikes are available and how they may be different than what you’ll read in guidebooks. We have developed 4 lovely walks in area, led by Sherlon for a modest fee.

Driver and van (up to 6 passengers) for full day to explore anywhere on the island: Price on request.

We can develop packages to suit your desires.

A Note on Cancellation
We must be stricter than hotels and large resorts as the scale of our operation is so much smaller. Since travel plans to Dominica aren’t made casually, most of our bookings are made well in advance, especially in the high season. When you reserve, the Villa or the Cottage is held for you and all other inquiries for this time are refused. For this reason, when cancellation is made less than 90 days from contracted check-in, any refund of the contracted payment made prior to cancellation will be based upon our ability to re-rent the reserved time period. If we can re-rent any time of the period saved for you, those funds will be subtracted from your overall price and returned to you. If you have any worries about a possible cancellation due to health concerns or transportation problems, we strongly advise that you purchase travel insurance from a reputable provider.
