Hibiscus Valley Inn

We stayed a week in a nature bungalow at Hibiscus Valley Inn. Between the ceiling fan and the breezes, we did not miss having AC and slept well to the sounds of nature in the rain forest at night. The highway below was quiet at night. The staff at Hibiscus Valley were very friendly and always helpful. Rita did a fantastic job arranging various activities for us around the island, as well as fixing great breakfasts and a delicious pumpkin soup for lunch on the two occasions we were on site at lunchtime. In the evenings, Nigel cooked up fabulous dinners featuring local ingredients in the restaurant. He also introduced us to Kubuli beer, the Dominican lager that comes in 250ml bottles, and that go down so easily after a warm day exploring this beautiful, mountainous country. The drivers/guides were also great. The bungalows are two units per building, each with its own bathroom with shower. There is mosquito netting around the bed, though bugs were really not a problem during the time we visited. We often sat on the chairs on the veranda, relaxing and enjoying the ever present breezes.

What a hidden gem! Getting to Hibiscus Inn is quite easy, from the airport is approx. 15 mins. Upon arrival we were guided to one of the bungalows hidden away in the lush garden. The room had his own bathroom, a ceiling fan and mosquitoes screen in the windows. Each bungalow has a terrace to enjoy the view of the green lushes surrounding. A true nature retreat. Nigel the chef and host is a very dedicated, friendly host, who make a fantastic dinners and great local cocktails. Just ask him he has great connections and great suggestions.Our favourite place every day and at any time, was the natural river pool A+, If you happen to spend sometime here, they can organize you a cook out with local flavours and local friends

I had a great experience at Hibiscus Valley. The staff was super attentive and made our stay very positive. The food was delicious, Omarie led us on a tour and made sure we were taken care of, and the room was comfortable, clean and helped to have the option of a/c. The location was also great, in that it was outside of a major city so it was very quiet and peaceful. I would absolutely stay here again.

This was close to Airport.....and on Arriving just breathe taking...loving the appearance of tropical flowers 💐 The staff and owner was on hand to make sure if anything u needed or any requests were taken care of. All I can say is privacy and privacy..and I got just what I wanted....thank u From Breakfast to Dinner to a evening drinks at the Bar Just wonderful . This was a wonderful experience and I definitely will be back. Thanks to whole staff for your wonderful service

Staying here ended up being the highlight of our two-week trip around the islands. This guesthouse was thoughtfully built by Nora and her family, and they provided us with a great first-hand history of the island. Dinner time was particularly memorable, with all of the guests coming together in the dining area to share their travel stories over some amazing meals prepared by Nigel. Our group stayed in three of the bungalows, and it was the best sleep we had on our travels, with the peaceful breeze and periodic sound of rain on the roof throughout the night. The Hibiscus can help you on all sorts of excursions around the island, including the renowned "Boiling Lake" (which we hope to do next time). We did an afternoon river tubing tour guided by Angus, visited the Kalinago Cultural Center, and swam in several of the waterfalls situated all over the island. And, while the guesthouse makes you feel like you're in a remote part of the rainforest, you're actually only about a 15-minute drive from the airport. Aside from the tranquil and scenic environment, the best part about staying here was the people. Nigel's was the first face we saw when we stepped off the ferry in Roseau, and he became an integral part of our time on Dominica - from his driving tours, to cooking the dinners that we looked forward to each night, to his ridiculously-good rum concoctions, and, of course, his consummately positive vibe. It was a pleasure to see Rita and Karen each morning at breakfast. While their eggs with avocado was a big hit, my particular favorite was their pumpkin soup. And a shout-out to Omary, who always made sure we got where we needed to be - no matter how hard we made that for him. One of the other reviews said "We felt like part of the family", and I don't think that could be said any better. Nora and her family have put together a very special place, and we were lucky to have stumbled upon it. We hope to be back again soon!

We loved staying at the Hibiscus valley inn and felt like part of the family. Ginger & Spice, the two dogs that came to greet us every day. Nigel who served us delicious dinners every evening, Karen and Rita for teaching us kokoy and creole, serving tasty breakfasts as well as just being all round lovely and Omariee who took us on great excursions and adventures! We’ll most definitely be back to this friendly place surrounded by lush green rain forest!
