“"HELLO, DOCTOR!"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2010

I stayed with Pepper three weeks ago, and it was an amazing stay. Pepper is very accomodating and extremely helpful.

It was our first time to Dominica, and we didn't really know what to expect. Once we rendezvoused with Pepper we became instantly relaxed. Pepper showed us around the first day, and made sure that we had everything we needed before heading out to the Creole Festival.

We had only booked two days with Pepper, and within the first day we decided to stay with him the remainder of the week.

It's great being with Pepper, because everyone that knows him (and that's virtually everyone on the island) loves him. Everyone is welcoming in Dominica, but when you're with Pepper you feel as if you are from the island yourself. I consider Pepper a friend.

Pepper will give you many suggestions, a lot of his time, and if you're in need of something, he'll get it for you. If it's a power charger, a bottle opener, groceries, or a cell phone, he'll make it happen. He lent us a cell phone to use for no extra charges. SO GENEROUS.

Pepper showed us both the Cottage and the B&B, and they are both beautiful and comfortable. Nicer than most hotels in N. America.

Beyond that, Pepper is fun, hilarious, always happy and smiling, and he will show you to all the best spots on the island....not to mention he calls you "Doctor!"...that just feels nice.

Pepper is also very insightful with what's going on in Dominica. If one of your interests in travel is to get a pulse for the culture of the island, Pepper will help you with that. He will fill you in on history and current politics. I now listen to the local radio broadcast online after he suggested we listen to the island radio show.

If you're going to Dominica, you're visit will not be complete without Pepper.

**Note: If you have been to a mangrove in the U.S., I would opt out of the Indian River cruise.

“Pepper kept us smiling!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010

My husband and I spent three nights at Peppers B&B. Pepper was also our taxi driver and tour guide. Our main purpose for visiting Dominica was to visit the Boiling Lake. We left at 6am for an early start and Pepper was the best tour guide ever. He kept us smiling throughout our arduos journey and shared his knowledge of the rainforest. He told us repeatedly that we would go at our own pace stopping to take photo's and rest in the hot spring pool. After nine hours hiking Pepper took us to Screws natural spa baths where we relaxed our aching muscles.
Pepper made a tour of our last day leaving at 3am to catch sight of the Jaco parrots, of which we saw two! Nothing was too much trouble, he even provided refreshments on our trip to Emerald pool, which we had all to ourselves. The accomodation is just as you see it on the video. Pepper is very knowledgable of the Island and is happy to advise on what can be achieved for the duration of your holiday. Pepper does not disappoint!

“Awesome!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2010

If you like exploring the rainforest, then Dominica is the place for you because it is one big rainforest ; and I can think of no better guide than Pepper to help you explore it. As lovers of nature, my sister and I wanted to see as much of the island as possible and make use of the sulphur baths. We were not able to see everything in 4 days; but because Pepper knows the island and it's people like the back of his hand, we were able to cover at least 3/4 of what the island has to offer and take in 3 sulphur baths. All you have to do is let him know how long you are staying and just what you want to do and if it is possible he will find a way to make it happen. He is reasonable and very easy to work with and if you for some reason want to change your schedule, he is very accommodating.

We stayed at Pepper's Cottage Suites located outside of the city and found it to be very comfortable, offering all of the basic ammenities of an inn. The room and bathroom is nice and large. I feel comfortable calling it a furnished studio. If you have problems with stairs, they are located on the ground floor - just one step is involved. Expect to get just what you see online.

Thank you Pepper for everything,

Edna and Celia

“You will be taken care of”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2010

First, there are two properties with "Peppers" in the title - one is in town, the other about a 15 minute drive from Roseau. The taxi driver had some confusion about where to go. Try to nail down specifically which is your destination. "Pepper" is the owner, and he will take care of your needs, whether with full time guide service, making recommendations, giving you a ride to town or the airport, or whatever you may require. I stayed at the property out of town, and found it of good quality for the money. There are only two apartments. I was alone, but several people could be comfortable. There is a full kitchen and full bath. Pepper is very knowledgeable, and I recommend his guide service if your main interest is sightseeing.

“Relaxing and secure”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2010

It was my first visit to Dominica and though for a short stay felt at home whist staying at Pepper's Cottage. The Manager met me at the Airport on time; was so professional and friendly. He was always going the extra mile in a calm manner. For the price at his place, which was well furnished and comfortable, I would without any reservations recommend Pepper's Cottage to my fellow St Lucians. Keep expanding Sir and God bless.
