“Castle Comfort Gets My Top Marks!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Castle Comfort is the perfect location for divers and vacationers. Just south of Dominica's capital Roseau, it offers easy access to town and restaurants (if you ever want to leave, which might be doubtful!), and is right on the ocean. Divers have a great sit-down breakfast (love those banana pancakes) and then walk straight on to their dive boat - nothing could be easier. The accommodations were fine - clean and comfortable, but it's the entire staff at Castle Comfort that makes this third-generation, locally-owned dive hotel really terrific. The kitchen staff was flexible and friendly, the front desk ladies were always helpful with big smiles, and extremely knowledgeable about the island. They expertly booked several hikes with an excellent local guide, Clem, to Ti Tou Gorge, Trafalgar Falls, Emerald Pool, and we also visited Kalinago villages and bought handwoven Carib baskets and crafts. We spent a lot of time on the oceanside deck and bar at Castle Comfort, where best mixologist Kurt Gordon served up creative cocktails and lots of reggae for us. The young hoteliers, sister and brother Arienne and Dan, are very hands on and seek out guest feedback so they can fine-tune their operation; with their excellent staff have created a wonderful experience for visitors at Castle Comfort. Dominica's beautiful people do the rest - they are to a man friendly, polite, helpful and eager to hear that you love their island as you do. All of us are STILL talking about Dominica and Castle Comfort weeks later - we'll be back!

Room Tip: If you're just visiting Dominica and not diving every day, ask for a room in the rear building...

“Very nice Hotel and a hidden Jewel of a Scuba Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

people found this review helpful

I've stayed at a lot of hotels in the Caribbean and anotehr local hotel in Dominica. My "Excellent" rating is based on comparrisons to the rest of the Caribbean market. Don't take this as an equivilent to the Ritz....but when it comes to a nice clean room, great food, an excellent wait staff and an outstanding dive opperation....this is my top shelf recommendation on where to go to. How long are you really in a room to begin with. The water was hot for showers, cable TV, Free Wi-Fi is a plus too. The dive guides were a lot of fun and knew the sites extreemly well - along with the local sites and trivia. The diving there is unspoiled and probabaly the best I've seen in the Caribbean.

Room Tip: Ocean facing room for sure...but you'll be outside for sunsets regardless.

This place is a gem, clean comfortable rooms, right next to the sea, excellent food especially the breakfasts with freshly squeezed different juices each day. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The bar is lovely right by the sea for sunset views. The diving was superb, the gear in good condition, great boats, the staff are exceptional. Can't wait to go back already....Thanks!

One stop for room, board and diving plus capacity for setting up excursions. Staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfasts are outstanding and the food overall is very good. Wonderful bar on the ocean as well!

Room Tip: Room over the dive shop are the best! Definitely ask for an ocean view.

“We'll definitely be back"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

person found this review helpful

Just returned from a week at this dive lodge and really loved it! Firstly, let me say that I wouldn't stay here if I weren't diving as the rooms and grounds are average and the pool is tiny however the dive operation is great with nitrox available, though expensive at $13/tank, and the diving great. The food is average and also expensive, $27/ dinner, but it is cooked from fresh product for just those staying at the lodge. Other restaurants nearby don't have food readily available on the off chance that a diner will walk in either so it is best to call the day before with your plans to eat. The water was lovely and safe to drink right out of the tap. Day excursions were also expensive at $60-$90 each. The people, bar none, were wonderfully friendly and added to the overall experience. Also, there is free wifi.
