A mixed bag. First, the expedia information stated that the hotel was"on beach." This was not accurate, there was a platform to the water but no beach. Second, the physical layout of the hotel was very good, the rooms were large and comfortable with balconies that gave a view of the water. Third, the front desk staff was helpful in arranging tours and the guide/driver, Tyrone, was professional and went out of his way to help us experience Dominica. However, the wait staff at the restaurant was glacially slow in service. Fourth, the restaurant itself needs a lot of work. It is expensive, not only compared with other islands, but also with nearby restaurants in Dominica, such as Oceans' Edge (a 5 minute walk) and Fort Young (a 5-7 minute drive). The portions are tiny, an entree portion is smaller than an appetizer elsewhere.
Other items-the hot tub requires an hour's advance notice. The breakfast buffet is limited with no yogurt, all self serve. The wait staff did not even come around with coffee and ran out of honey. The principal issue was the lack of a beach, which was not as advertised.
