We travel with a small group of scuba divers and had just recently stayed at the Picard Beach Cottages....we had a fantastic time! The views from our porch were breathtaking, the cottages were tidy and spacious and the landscaping was just incredible. A short walk from local markets and "the shacks", we had a great time deciding on what to... more

A wonderful beach retreat for families and couples. Cottages are well equipped (kitchen, living area which can also be 2nd bedroom, bathroom, bedroom, mosquito nets) and fit in well amongst the natural setting. Those with sea view are highly recommended with the beach as your front garden. On a clear day there are beautiful views of neighbouring islands, Guadeloupe and... more

If I could give it zero stars I would! Dominica is beautiful and I encourage you to visit the island but DO NOT stay at the so-called "eco" cottages! The management POISONS the stray dogs that live in the area and has threatened to kill my own dogs. I live at the nearby university and walk my adorable little dachshunds... more

We had to stay at the PBC to get my daughter set up at Roos University medical school. On arrival, we were told we had been upgraded to a better cottage. When we arrived at the cottage, the twin bed had no sheets, there was no A/C, and the refrigerator was broken. We were moved to another cottage. This place... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Picard Beach Cottages for 10 days and had a lovely time. Our cottage was GREAT--just steps from the beach. We did have the very occasional lizard, tree frog or bug in the room, but this was really no big deal. In such a lush and natural setting, critters making their way inside the cottage... more

This place has so much potential, but is so poorly run, it's a shame. It has a nice location, and it's great to have the beach at your doorstep, and to fall asleep to the sound of the surf. At first I thought it was a bit quaint, a bit rustic. I've camped on several islands in the Caribbean, so... more

Stayed in Dominica last year at the south of the island, so we knew what to expect. Portsmouth is a fantastic place and the people are so friendly. We booked through the Cabrits dive centre on a 7 day dive package and stayed 10 nights at the cottages. We expected a shack and were not disappointed, far from being a... more

The location is great - long beach and nice gardens, but the cottages could be so much better (and should be at $144 in the off-season). The kitchenette lacks such basics as can and bottle openers, the fridge has no ice tray, and one wine glass was in pieces in the cupboard. The shower cubicle is tiny, but the TV... more

The hotel is nicely located, right on the beach, but that's the limit of the attraction. The staff could not recommend places to go snorkeling (and they are supposedly associated with a whalewathc/dive center?!). The kitchen was out of our first lunch choice, not a huge deal, but then the sullen waitress returned to say the kitchhen only had 4... more
