Tamarind Tree Hotel

Stefan and Annette are wonderful, friendly hosts with a great sense of humour and care for their guests well-being. They are attentive and ensure all levels of comfort are met, going the extra-mile. Their team are also professional, friendly and organised. The room and hotel were extremely clean! The chef’s food was divine! The views from the balcony spectacular! Highly recommend.

Delicious dinner! Sunny bathroom, big towels, fresh cotton sheets, comfortable beds. Quiet nights. Rainforest jungle & reef life! Dinners of Fresh ingredients prepared by knowledgeable French-trained chef. Nightly dining experience: fresh meats, fresh-caught fish, fruits & vegetables - presented as fine dining. Superb! Cocktails and wine at sunset, far from the grind of cruise ships and crush of tourists. Fresh-baked bread each morning. Spectacular ocean sunset visible from rooms. Quiet, night stars, and calm location invited birdsong each morning. Host Stefan arranged capable driver (Kenny - WhatsApp +17672764601) who organized a snorkeling on the spectacular reef at Scottshead, endless variety of tropical corals, sea fans, and colorful fish. Swim beyond the obvious to enjoy healthy, diverse marine life. Afternoon: local lunch of satisfying choices, concluded with snorkel swim atop champagne reef, famous for coral fizzed bubbles to emit tiny bubbling micro organisms— even after hundreds of swim/dives a spectacular sight! Very clean rooms, comfortable mattress, smooth cotton sheets. 100% recommendation for couples, solo, family. Quiet, Safe & secure.

I spent a few nights at Tamarind early this year. Room was acceptable but could perhaps do with some refurbishment. Nice view out through the trees to the sea. Grounds and swimming pool area were very relaxing and a pleasure to spend time in. Breakfast was decent, as was dinner. On the occasion that no dinner was served we were driven to a close by town to eat there. As for lunch, you must fend for yourself. If you do not have your own vehicle then be prepared to do some walking in the hot sun. The nearest settlement is around 25 mins walk away (I walk fast). This is also the nearest decent beach. In fact Dominica's main tourist beach. It's VERY low key. Which was a god send for me having spent time in Barbados and other over developed spots during that trip. Not exactly a criticism, but I was the only guest who wasn't German (the owners are German). Everyone was perfectly nice but it was a little too homogeneous for my liking. The local lady who ran the place day to day was very friendly and helpful. Kendra was her name if I remember rightly. Tamarind Tree is an excellent place at which to unwind. I combined a few days here with a stay at another spot in the 'mountains' inland.

The only complaint that I have was my stay at the Tamrind tree hotel was not long enough! The hotel is situated in a picturesque part of Dominica, it was a joy waking up to the views. The breakfast was good quality local produce with a variety of options. We had dinner every night at the hotel which which was something we would look forward to, everyday there was something new and tasty to try 😋 The grounds and hotel are cleaned and maintained to a high standard. The owners Annette and Stefan were very welcoming they have a gem of a place with an excellent team of staff. I look forward to returning ☺️
