Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa

We had an amazing trip. The location is quiet and lush. The resort bends into nature. The staff are lovely, food is excellent, and the resort is beautiful. Zia, our guide is fantastic! Marisa and the staff are accommodating and supportive. The rooms are beautiful and as advertised. Overall a great value. Highly recommend!

From arrival to departure, Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa exceeded all expectations. The lush surroundings immediately put me at ease with vibrant tropical gardens, soothing ocean views, and peaceful birdsong everywhere. Our villa was beautifully designed with natural materials, airy windows, and all the comforts one could want. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely caring; they remembered little details and made us feel truly welcomed. Meals at the on site restaurant were fresh, locally sourced, and absolutely delicious. Every dish felt like a celebration of island flavors. The spa treatments were the perfect indulgence after exploring, relaxing and rejuvenating in a tranquil setting. What I loved most was the balance this resort strikes. You feel enveloped by nature and serenity, yet nothing is lacking in comfort. Whether swimming, walking the shore, or simply unwinding, it’s a place that stays with you.

We were looking to find a base for exploring a new place: Dominica. We found an oasis of beauty, tranquility and organized efficiency on the east coast of this volcanic paradise. After hurricane Maria in 2017, there are still signs of that devastation in and around the resort, but compared to the rest of the island that we saw, the facility has been carefully and thoughtfully restored. It exudes an almost old world calm and charm. The staff is very friendly, attentive and efficient. Many are from local villages like Grand Fond which we walked to and clearly the resort is also a mainstay in the local economy. The local plantings are lush and well attended. A well outfitted spa and exercise facility are present but we were too busy scooting around the island to use much more than the pool, which was nice. We relied heavily on the excellent included breakfast and went for dinner all but two nights. We did lunch on the road most days and stored some food in the room fridge. It would be nice to see more creole dishes on the menu. We felt too much effort went into catering to mainland preferences but all was well prepared and presented. Service was excellent. The surroundings of the Rosalie River, black sand beach, turtle reserve were spectacular and almost otherworldly in beauty. The incoming trade winds make the beach unsafe for swimming but great for turtle nests! If you want to swim, there are beaches on the west coast with none of the charm of Rosalie Bay. Taken as a whole, we loved it. Its as far from a cruise ship experience as you can get. Many thanks to Odette, Danielle and Zahir and all the other staff who make this a special place , not just in Dominica, but among all the places we have seen in our travels!

This property was so fun to explore! The ocean and river are stunning and everything is very peaceful. We especially loved the driver for the resort, Zia. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and a pleasure to have accompany us on all of our excursions! We would love to come back during turtle season!

Rosalie Bay eco-resort is in the secluded southeast of the island. There are small villages around, but at this time of year the best dining options were at the Resort. The location of the resort is scenic, with the river to one side and ocean to the other. Rooms are spacious and well maintained, and the AC is a nice perk. The grounds at the facility are immaculate- it’s like staying in a botanical garden. The food was good, with a variety of options. Pool water was warm, and the staff onsite were incredibly pleasant. Would stay here again if we were seeking a secluded, quiet few days

Rosalie Bay was so beautiful in so many ways. The atmosphere was spectacular with the ocean, rivers, the beautiful black sand beach and incredibly gorgeous gardens. The rooms were extremely comfortable and spacious. The people were friendly every step of the way the food in the restaurant was exquisite. There were many activities to choose from, and the staff went out of their way to help make your stay perfect. If you love birds, this is a stop for you and just sitting by the ocean for a nice meditation Is food for the soul. I guarantee that you will agree this is a very special piece of the planet.
