Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa

I personally thought that RBER was a very special place. The abundance of vibrant and beautiful plant life that covered all of the property was extremely pleasant. The vibe was so tranquil, peaceful, and relaxing. The fact that the decently wide Rosalie River is directly to the North of the property and meets the Atlantic Ocean directly at the East of the property is something special. For me, being able to constantly see a point where the river meets the ocean is meaningful. And then that the beach along that shore is traditionally where 3 to 4 species of sea turtles annually come to lay their eggs, I mean what more of a unique experience could you ask for? There is a fully equipped gym and a solid pool to swim in and relax by. You feel like you have a lot of privacy, but at the same time, the actual grounds are relatively small and all the amenities are within a 5 minute walk no matter where you stay. The restaurant was also great! Nearly every meal I had over 8 days was at that Leatherback Restaurant. And honestly, the quality and freshness was always present and there was easily enough variety where I didn't get tired of it. Lastly, the staff is what really sets this place apart! All the women at the restaurant are like the soul. Odette and the girls at the Front Desk are so incredibly helpful. And I must absolutely highlight the Ultimate Tour Guide, Zahir, who was able to show me some stunning natural locations over 6 unforgettable tours. A memorable stay indeed!

The grounds are stunningly beautiful. Almost worth 10/10 in itself but a couple of things are below par. The pool area is neglected and needs some investment, eg new lounger cushions that can withstand the rain. The food is hit and miss. Breakfast generally very good but a bit chaotic. It really lacks attention to detail by some experienced food and beverage eyes! Although they reply to all ratings it seems to me no actions have been taken regarding some complaints. Eg I still got plastic straws!

Beautiful area tucked against the Atlantic Ocean. It was a little slice of paradise, and the spa massage was wonderful!

The staff at this resort are all marvelous and the rooms are terrific. However the location was just too remote for me...with no restaurants, supermarkets, shops, gas stations anywhere nearby. Also, the road between this resort and Roseau is in very poor condition and is dangerous.

Room basic, safe not working, no master key, no hairdrier, no medical kit. Website states no plastic straws but in use even after telling them, band by Dominica gov. Limited menu and then could not provide choice, did not have ginger ale. Waited an hour for hot breakfast cereal. Only filtered coffee no cappuccino etc. Eco resort! Gardeners using 2 stroke noisy blowers why not battery. Plastic on beach, could ask customers to pick up a piece to help eco! Finally beautiful location.
