Re: Dominica anyone?

  • Hmmm . . . I don't know much, but my sister went there for her 5 year anniversary trip. She absolutely loved it. From the sounds of it, nothing commercialized -- all very natural and rugged.
  • FSIL does enviromental work on the island and goes every 6 months. She's never stayed at a resort there but at a home rental. The entire island is very poor- much like most Caribbean islands, but beautiful and safe. It's rugged and as a large base in eco-tourism. She takes jeeps out all the time to explore the island and although she has a guide with her, she's never had a problem with crime.

    It's not your typical honeymoon location, so don't go there looking for pretty umbrella drinks and at an all-inclusive. If you want something more eco-friendly and natural I'd recommend it.

  • I stopped there on a cruise last year and it was absolutely gorgeous! We did an excursion that took us to a waterfall and then river tubing. Such beautiful views, but as pp mentioned the island is very poor and not commercialized at all. I think there is only one resort on the island and it's on the opposite side from where the cruise ships dock.
