Discover Dominica Reports More Hotel Developments

The Discover Dominica Authority released a report on hotel developments on the island. On June 1, the Beau Rive Dominica celebrated its sixth anniversary with the completion of their 9th and 10th rooms. Both of the rooms are individual cottages set below the main house, where guests will have ocean views from the verandas. The cottages are the same size and design as the other guestrooms, but offer more privacy.

The Calibishie Cove now offers daily bicycle and two-person dive kayaks rentals to their guests to explore Dominica’s coastline just downhill from Calibishie Cove. After guests are done exploring “the Nature Island,” Calibishie Cove offers to prepare a romantic candle-lit dinner served right on guests’ balconies.

The Fort Young Hotel has teamed up with dive stores to allow dive groups to bank the complimentary rooms earned with groups for up to 12 months, making it easier to sell dive trips to the island.

The shore dive option is $45 per person and includes a dinner at Dive Dominica’s own restaurant “Barana Breeze” and transportation between the Fort Young Hotel and the dive sites.
