Cocoa Cottage

Uniquely designed and decorated rooms, open to fresh air, with beautiful outdoor spaces. Family style meals allow for interaction with other guests if desired. Delicious local dishes prepared by wonderful cooks. Clean and well attended, great hospitality.

For anyone wanting to stay in accomodation close to nature, this cannot be beaten. We stayed in the ‘Honeymoon suite’, a semi-circular shaped room with a lovely balcony area overlooking a valley cloaked in trees. There are only seven rooms spread around the curtilage of the hotel. By pre-arrangement dinner can be provided. This is a set meal usually of fish or chicken with a vegetarian option. This food is shared with other guests dining in the evening. On Saturday and Sundays pizzas are offered. We had two nights meals, including one pizza meal. This was prepared on a thin crisp base, but there was plenty of topping and a good selection of choices to choose from. The set meal was a fish (Mahi Mahi) cooked in sauce with lots of side dishes, including vegetables, rice and lentils. This was also very good.  At night, the area is alive with sounds of the forest and because the rooms are semi-open, you will undoubtedly get ‘guests’ in the room, we had two resident geckko's. There is the protection of mosquito nets and we have few problems in this regard while staying here. The ambiance is very peaceful. In order to make the most of the location, a car is really needed because it is some way out of town. There are one or two other restaurants in the area but again these need a car to get to them. The room itself was okay but there were some aspects which could be improved. There was no decent mirror, no beside tables and very low lighting in the room after dark. However we managed to get hot water when we needed it, and there are plenty of plug sockets for electronics. It undoubtedly had lots of atmosphere and we were pleased with the overall experience. 

We absolutely loved our stay at Cocoa cottages. It felt like a little oasis just 15 minutes outside of Roseau. Even though we weren't able to stay in the treehouse, we loved the Bwa room, which was big enough for our family of four (two adults+ two teens). Breakfast was prepared every morning at 8am. Unfortunately, we never got to try dinner. But, it smelled delicious. Advance notice needs to be given for meals. Do yourself a favor and book dinner ahead of time. It was challenging to find restaurants open in the evening. Also, if you get locked out, like we did, know that there is a key to the padlock on your key ring. I definitely want to stay longer next time we go to Dominica. Two nights was not enough to discover this slice of paradise. One week will give you enough time to explore this corner of the world.

We had two fabulous meals here, prepared by the German owners, Oliver and Tatya. The jungle setting is stunning, with lovely cottages perched over a river valley. We stayed in an airBNB up the street, but came here for two late dinners after a day of diving. Even though the regular cook was sick, the owners rolled up their sleeves and made us two delicious pizza and salad meals, accompanied by a delightful cabernet, served in family heirloom glasses from Oliver's family.

This is really an exceptional place! We stayed in the treehouse for 2 weeks, relaxing and enjoying the surrounding nature most of the day. The house is really spacious, cozy and clean, but the other rooms seem also wonderful! The treehouse is equipped by a small kitchen, so we could prepare our own meals using the delicious fruits and vegetables that we bought in the villages closed by. During our stay we had dinner twice that Guy, one of the staff members, made for us. That were really one of the best meals we had on Dominica! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful and creates a very relaxed atmosphere. The location is superb and you can reach a lot of things by walking or local buses. We can only recommend this place and are definitely back soon

My family stayed in the Treehouse for a week in paradise, listening to the stream and critters outside as we enjoyed the views of the mountains and fruit trees. The Treehouse was clean and comfortable; it's cooler than the city and was nice to come back to after hiking or going out and about. Annalisa was so kind and helpful, with any information we needed about meals, activities, transportation, etc. We loved the healthy and delicious breakfasts and her help getting some dinners delivered. All the staff were lovely and doing a great job to make the place warm and welcoming. We hope to go back, would love to stay there again, and recommend them to anyone!
