Karol and Phil are exceptionally good business owners. They leave late in the evenings and come in first thing in the morning. They’re practically always there working hard and deserve the recognition I give them! (Throughout the night another man works there and he is great also) They were also calm and happy to be there 7 days a week from 7am till 10pm.
Phil is quick to cook you up something and make conversation with you. As is the other guy who works in the bar/cafe area at the back.
Karol took time to have conversations with our 92 year old Dominican grandad (who we now know can speak Dominican potois like never left the island!!) Massive thank you to karol for this!!
As much as they are friendly and take time for laid back conversations they also are efficient and hard working. Karol ensured the rooms were cleaned to an excellent standard. The cleaners were great and didn’t leave a stone unturned. I’ve stayed in the Caribbean a few times and this is the first time I’ve not had any bugs or cockroaches in my room! (So happy with this) Karol has a business woman air about her which I fully respected.
The area is a bit bothersome. If I went out alone as some of the guys try to talk to you & in a friendly country you do say good morning to people as you pass so some see this as an opportunity to try to chat you up. However they were all polite and did take no for an answer immediately. To stay in Roseau is convenient to travel out each day.
They let us have late check out free of charge as grandad needed to stay in the shade and comfort of the room until 1pm. Thank you for this!
We will stay here again as the owners and staff & the hotel itself are great! Thank you for your time and your professionalism.
The rooms are clean and the air condition in my room was exceptional.
There was breakfast which included toast fresh fruit hot drinks and juices. If you wanted eggs, bacon etc you had to pay extra..
In the,lounge area was a fridge freezer, a kettle with tea and coffee making facilities.
First the welcome (just the keys, no questions or advice for the stay) then the very basic breakfast (fruit of course, coffee, tea and slice of sandwich bread, industrial jam not good, no milk for the children. For more you have to pay..)
Restaurant closed during our stay even though we had chosen this establishment so as not to have to go out in the evening.
The geographical location is very average and above all very noisy (music all night, dogs barking, etc.)
The rooms were very clean, well equipped and well appointed. Bathroom too, it’s a real shame…


The only problem the environment of the guesthouse is very noisy EVERY night noise nuisance pat of dogs barking, roosters singing from 4:15 in the morning.
Otherwise the guesthouse is perfect.
Good location.
Guesthouse officials were trying to see WITH neighbors to eradicate roosters, dogs etc...
Even so, we will come back in the past.
Thanks.
The restaurant is cozy and quiet,
The breakfast is complete with the addition of a percolator which is welcome in a country where coffee is rather American

Small, clean room. Basic decor. Well lit desk area. Fairly hard bed with no mattress pad; flat pillows.
Shower with good water pressure, although the temperature was difficult to adjust (the water goes from hot to cold when the handle moves by just a few mm). The sink drained very slowly. They fixed it upon my request, but a day later it was back to slow draining.
Wifi worked well.
Breakfast was very basic: fresh fruit and bread. No breakfast boxes for early departure.
Communication prior to arrival was difficult: I was trying to confirm late arrival time and airport pick up (which they arranged for an extra charge), but I got no response to messaging and emails for well over 24 hours. I even called the number listed on the reservation twice (international calls at my expense, since they don't have WA), but there was no answer.
Overall it was ok for a short stay.

"There are a lot of different layouts. It's best to be specific when reserving and confirm on arrival. If no A/C the roosters could be loud."Read full review
