We stayed there for one night and that was enough. We stayed in the "Tower of Josephine" room. It was quite beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom was huge and luxurious. The gardens are beautiful. The river that fronts the property runs to the ocean. We lazily swam the river (about a quarter of a mile) til we hit the sea, then laid on the beach. It was a very relaxing day.

The food was fair. The pool was not worth swimming in. The staff is very nice though. This is not the place to be based while on the island. It is not located well. The only thing close to it is the airport. We stayed at Calibishi Lodges and at the Jungle Bay. They were well positioned for day trips.

Overall, it is over-priced at $300. I think they should price the rooms at no higher than $195 per night.

Silks is vastly overpriced and there is nothing luxurious or boutique about it. That said, the room my wife and I stayed in was decorated nicely. However, it was small and lacking in the facilities that are offered at even the most basic hotels on the island, not even a chair.

The welcome to the hotel was non-existent. The receptionist was more concerned about our car being moved to the car park having unloaded our luggage than anything else. There was no offer of assistance with baggage. There was no introduction to the hotel, no explanation of facilities (of which there are extremely few), meal times or anything.

While staying at the hotel we needed to report an incident and while the supervisor on duty was polite, the general manger of the hotel was totally unprofessional, rude and degrading. She has also not replied to any follow up e-mails that have been sent.

The menu in the restaurant is limited and on the one night that we dined there, the fish was raw in the middle twice (ie having sent it back once, it came back in the same condition). We did eventually get the meal free but it was an unenjoyable hassle.

Another thing that you may wish to take into account, depending on how much of an issue it is for you is that in the Tower room (I don't know about others) there is no way of stopping bugs or mosquitos entering the room as some of the wall is open to the elements with no window or mesh.

We are regular visitors to Dominica, staying in a mixture of hotels and the family home. This is by far the worst experience we have had on the island. In no way can Silks claim that the price they charge is justifiable. Do not believe the description the hotel gives of itself. You will be disappointed.

While the room was spacious and decorated in a romantic way and the bathroom contained a couple of nice touches such as two robes, this hotel is not, at this time anyway, what it purports to be.

We stayed in three different hotels on Dominica. This one was the most expensive and our least favorite.

One end of our room overlooked the driveway and on our second night there, some young friends of the staff skidded their SUV on the gravel in the middle of the night so loudly that it woke up even my husband who is a very sound sleeper. Later the same night, another character who was hanging around the place clicked on the outdoor light in the breezeway so that the other end of our room was flooded with light --- almost as though someone had walked into the room and flipped the light-switch.

The food was mediocre and overpriced. The chef wanted to make it seem as though it was our fault he was not prepared to cook for a vegetarian because we had not informed him ahead of time my husband is a vegetarian. This was not a problem at any other place we ate while on Dominica! The chef apparently had no fresh produce on hand which seemed strange on such a lush island. The coffee served at breakfast was instant and not even made strong enough. I felt sorry for the waitresses: They seem to want to do a good job but had not been adequately trained.

The flower garden adjacent to the hotel is the one big thing this place has going for it.

We just got back from Dominica last week and stayed one night at the Silks Hotel at the last minute. We were staying with a group somewhere else on the island for an Eco yoga retreat and came to Silks for dinner and ended up staying the night to experience a new locale- as well as to enjoy some rest, relaxation and privacy. We had the Suite in the Tower which was phenomenal as are all the rooms on the premises. The food is absolutely fantastic and the service is personable, the environment intimate and cozy.

Evans, the Chef, was helpful and informative and gave us info of the grounds. If going for a destination wedding this hotel is the place- speak to them about what they may be able to offer you, but let me tell you the grounds are beautiful for pictures. I will look to post some photos at a later point but this place was a dream. It only has a few rooms which is part of its signature- you feel at home and removed from everything else on the island. Book in advance if you would like to choose your room.

You are paying for one of the best hotels on the island- however I do think prices were a tad expensive considering that Dominica is still a hidden treasure and the ratio of the dollar to the local ccy and we stayed during their low season- Worth the stay however as the staff works hard to please- Breakfast was amazing filling and very delicious- enjoyed eating it out near the pool and then dipping in for some sun and relaxation. You will truly feel in paradise at this place. I hope that they don't change too much or expand it too much in the future as it will take away from the ambiance.
