Pagua Bay House

The perfect place to visit to melt all your stress away. Sheldon/Alicia/Rick were all amazing and made me feel like my work trip was the excursion of a lifetime. Beautiful sunsets, excellent home-made food (some grown right on the property), and luxurious cabanas all at once! This is an ideal getaway for it all: whether you are on business or planning a romantic trip. -Matt

My husband and I spent nearly 2 months at Pagua Bay house while my husband groooved the runway at the airport. Because of his job we have been able to experience hundreds of hotel stays all over the US and several other countries. Rick and Alicia are by far the best hosts we have ever had the pleasure of meeting! Rick even helped my husband with some issues he had come up on his job. They will be happy to organize anything you may want to experience. Whether it be visiting one of the beautiful waterfalls, island tours, whale watching, restaurants, or car rentals, no worries. We stayed longer than the average guest, so we got to meet all their employees. They were all great and we enjoyed talking to them and learning about their lives. Every need we had was taken care of. When Rick and Alicia weren’t there, their trusted manager, Sheldon, watched out for all of our needs. Every employee was a pleasure. If you go to this island you can’t go wrong staying at Pagua Bay House. There’s a beautiful view of the ocean from the cabanas and the restaurant. Our cabana was perfect. The shower was huge and great! Because we were there so long they even provided us with some extra amenities, even laundry service. We would put it outside our door and it would magically appear, clean and folded. If you don’t stay there on your visit make sure you stop in at the restaurant. One of the best on the entire Island. The house made bread, bagels, and buns are excellent. Juices made from local produce…yum! I could go on and on! Someday we would like to return to the island. We made lovely friends that we’ll never forget! (I will miss Gigi and Kiki, the cats, too)

Beautiful location. The pictures lead you to believe that the resort is on a beach, but it is not. You need to cross the road and walk a little on a busy road. There are no sidewalks. I did not attempt it.|The restaurant is lovely and the food delicious.|All staff members and proprietors are lovely. |To my taste my room was far too dark. You cannot see outside when you are in the room as there are shutters. It felt like I was in a bunker. There is no glass on the windows - shutters and stappled screens only.|I also felt that the AC was not sufficient for the size of the room. |Of course, these are personal choices, I happen to like light and bright. |The bed was comfortable. |The bathroom lovely. Large shower. |The first night I had a visitor.... a bat.... I called the manager, and security was right there to take care of the situation.

I have to say that we had a really nice time at Pagua Bay House.||Expedia tried to sell us six nights at a vastly inflated price but we looked again and found that we could do a last-minute booking via WhatsApp direct with the Manager, Sheldon. Nothing could have been simpler, so that was a good start.||Then the room we had booked wasn't quite as good as the one next door (No.6 has a private plunge pool and a wonderful view) and we were able to move over immediately. Then it turned out that the staff – absolutely all of them with no exceptions – were personable, smiling, did eye contact and enjoyed conversation (and even a photoshoot or two).||The food was excellent and during our stay we pretty much tried everything. If I were to quibble (and I warned Sheldon I would write this) I'd say that if it says fruit is on the menu for breakfast, then there should be fruit, especially on an island like Dominica which is loaded with fruit trees! Not that one excellent member of staff minded coming with me in the car on a Sunday morning fruit hunt to the village...||So, yes, book up and go to Pagua Bay!

Went there for my birthday this year forget the young ladies name but she was a darling and she was the only server there that night. Food was excellent and quantity was great for price. ||I had to redo my birthday there wished I stayed there instead but there’s more birthdays to come. Didn’t really like how the tip works but it’s not up to us guest to make that decision but her customer service was 10/10 she checked on us ensure everything was okay not to often you get the same service in return especially working in the same industry. Love love love the cats so friendly and well behaved

We were greeted by the owner, Alisha, who couldn’t have been nicer. She and a staff member carried our bags to a beautiful suite that included a huge bedroom with the biggest bathroom I’ve ever seen. It had an elevated soaking tub with an ocean view plus we had our own large outdoor sitting area. The pool was clean and cool with an incredible coastline view. After a long rain shower in our room we went to dinner in their restaurant. We were greeted by Sheldon, the manager and had a great conversation. The meal and service were excellent. After a good sleep we were up early to catch our flight and they were right there to get our bags and shuttle us to the airport. The only negative was that the air conditioner didn’t work very well. But the place is beautiful and the people were great. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

I had an okay time there. Sheldon was very helpful as well as all the staff. Very kind… The food was just okay. Limited choices. In my opinion the bread, pancakes etc had very little flavor. We were also located 1,5 hours each way from many of the places we went which made for long days.

This is one of the best places to stay or dine when in Dominica. Rick and Alicia are amazing hosts that make everyone feel welcome. The cabins are chic and the view of the ocean is absolutely gorgeous! The food and drinks are all top notch. The cucumber gimlet is my favorite. I highly recommend Pagua Bay!
