From check in to checkout, staying here is a real treat when visiting the island and Ross University. From the rooms, to the food, to the people, it just does not get any better. All little things you may have concerns with are thought of and taken care of. Staying here made us feel as comfortable as home. The truly... More

The hotel location is convenient if you are somehow related to the Ross University. The hotel is cosy and the rooms spacious and clean with great view from the balcony over the bay. The stuff was extremely helpful and service was excellent. The negative thing is that the music and partying from the hotel restaurant by the university students may... More

I am currently a student at Ross University, so I am very familiar with De Champs. I stayed there when I was visiting the school in June of 2013 and have eaten many dinners there as well. What makes the hotel and restaurant so amazing is that fact that the owners, Lise and Hans, are extremely involved in the business.... More

Outstanding experience. With Dominica being a nature-island, more travelers' support is needed which De Champ does an excellent job providing! This includes airport pickup, travel in and about Picard, and outstanding island tours. They will schedule all your activities for you, such as diving and fishing. The concierge/duty manager of the day takes great care of every detail; you're never... More
