I recently had the pleasure of staying 4 nights at Mermaid's Secret with my two girlfriends to celebrate my 30th birthday and we had an AMAZING time. The grounds are phenomenally beautiful, Tim and Sam are so lovely and helpful, and the cottages are truly fantastic! We stayed in the Calypso cottage and we found it to be super clean... More

We recently paid a visit to Tim and Sam at Mermaids Secret we were given a very warm welcome, the cabins and yurt are extremely clean and comfortable being furnished to a very high standard. The setting is idyllic, romantic, in the middle of a tropical forest, you can feast your eyes on the magnificent colours of the flora and... More

Wow! Garden of Eden, 5 star rainforest experience. We went back again to Mermaids Secret and I wouldn’t think it possible but it’s even BETTER. The Sun Yurt is now available along with the fantastic Celestial Suite, which provides your very own 1ST Class kitchen & bathroom as well as a covered deck to sit out on. This is luxury... More

All I can say about the Mermaid's Secret is WOW!! We loved the south east area of the island. It is so peaceful. Unfortunately, we found this gem when we had only 3 nights left on the island - we could have stayed a lifetime. It was a welcome relief from a not so positive experience the night before. It...

Just spent 4 days and wished for more at Mermaids Secret in Rosilie. Tim and Sam and extended family have done a wonderful job of creating a peaceful and beautiful space in a fairly short period of time and the future of it looks bright. Simple well made cabins on a stunning piece of land-in the rain forest but not... More

We are friends of both Tim's And Sam's parents, so had a rough idea of what the couple had been doing. While on a caribbean criuse we called in with 4 others to visit Sam and Tim and had an absolutely amazing day. We had a guided tour of the camp and were much impressed by the amount of work... More

We returned to Dominca this January after 2 years and decided to try and explore some of the East Coast this time. We had booked into the Rosalie Bay Resort but after 2 nights we found it wasn't really for us having somewhat of a ghost-town atmosphere, very poor quality food and a low tolerance threshold for kids. This turned... More

We stayed in the new yurt at Mermaid's Secret, which is charming, and very comfortable. A kitchen and bathroom are just steps away. The cabins, though we didn't stay in them, are lovely as well. The crystal clear Mermaid's pool in the nearby river is a perfect place to start the day, or even better, to refresh after a day... More

The Mermaids Secret was refreshing, rejuvenating, and inspiring! Absolutely beautiful surroundings and accommodations. Tim and Sam were wonderful hosts. I feel I truly experienced the essence of this awesome place, Dominica. It wouldn't have been the same without my stay at the Secret. And affordable too! More
