Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa

Rosalie Bay eco-resort is in the secluded southeast of the island. There are small villages around, but at this time of year the best dining options were at the Resort. The location of the resort is scenic, with the river to one side and ocean to the other. Rooms are spacious and well maintained, and the AC is a nice perk. The grounds at the facility are immaculate- it’s like staying in a botanical garden. The food was good, with a variety of options. Pool water was warm, and the staff onsite were incredibly pleasant. Would stay here again if we were seeking a secluded, quiet few days

We absolutely loved our stay here! While most of our planned activities were on the other side of the island - coming back to this little slice of paradise was well worth the driving. If we ever come back to Dominica, we will definitely stay here again.

We had a delightful 4-night stay as part of a week long family vacation to Dominica. Lovely grounds. Accomodating service. We had a fantastic riverside cabin where we could watch the birds anytime of day from our porch. Also steps away from the restaurant (yum) and the underrated pool. A couple short easy hiking trails on or near property. Sargassum on the beach does complicate things, but we hadn't planned to spend much time on the beach anyway. Oh, and we had a leatherback sea turtle come ashore to lay her eggs one night -- amazing!||Admittedly, Rosalie Bay's isolated location can be both a strength and a weakness. The magnificent natural setting -- strength. The inability to easily get to other locations without a car -- weakness. We had already planned a couple days of excursions with a guide to drive us, so we did not need to rely on the daily excursion schedule at RB. However, it would have been nice to easily get a taxi/ride to go off site for dinner for a night -- not easy. Still, a terrific stay.

The resort boasts beautifully maintained grounds, room service options, house keeping options and offered a serene and picturesque environment. The staff was exceptionally pleasant, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere for my family and I. The food served was of high quality, catering to every taste and dietary preference and coffee too. Air conditioning was available to ensure comfort during warmer days, enhancing the overall experience. The hospitality was outstanding, with attentive service and genuine care for my family

We liked the peace and serenity most,we also like the fact of all amenities were functional.However some instruction on the TV Network will be appreciated. With regards to the free breakfast found this to be very good. Staff were all pleasant. We will have no hesitation in returning in the future.

great experience, staff very easy to get along with. Pool bar server Surita was a great source of information. My spa experience was wonderful with the coffee scrub and massage. Left side driving for us was challenging but after day 2, it was like riding a bicycle. native roadside food stands were good.

Out on the eastern coast this resort is oceanfront. Our room was enormous, if a bit outdated. The bed was a king and very comfortable, and the room had a sitting Area, dining table, fridge, and a soaking tub in the bathroom. The shower was definitely in need of an update and more light. Our little porch overlooked the garden and you could hear the waves. All the rooms are located around a loop and parking is near the entrance of the grounds. there is a spa with incredibly reasonably priced treatments, a full gym (open air), and a large pool. The restaurant serves meals all day- everything we had was delicious. Daily excursions are also available, and at night they will come get you if there’s a turtle laying eggs on the beach so that you can see this natural phenomenon up close. Overall an excellent experience, and a good location to explore emerald pools, glassy point, and other area sites.

Awful experience ||||Not because of the staff who were lovely , but by the female owner at the time. |||| I was often alone with my 2-year-old twins and my 4 year old . ( with their Dad working) The owner would sit at a the poolside table (with 5 empty seats ) neither eating or drinking, just watching me limping around with my injuries while struggling with my kids , food , drinks and nowhere to sit .||||The injuries I had was after the 2am wake up call to see the turtles nesting, I was carrying two of my sleeping children in a baby carrier and a sling down to the beach where there was no lights , and no guide to be found !!!…. I tripped and fell in the dark onto a rock bruised and bleeding down both knees, and my elbow waiting for my partner to eventually find us carrying our other sleeping four-year-old 25 mins later ||And when the guide finally arrived there was no assistance , no first aid he just took all of our names unbeknown to us that it was just so he could charge us ||an extortionate amount for five people (including my three sleeping children) who never even saw the turtles, ||||On my (birthday) we dressed up to celebrate at the resort restaurant. It’s the reason we splashed out on our stay at Rosalie Bay as we don’t go to restaurants often . Our kids were quiet and well-behaved, and the stone faced owner walked up to our table announcing “ No children allowed “ and asked us to leave immediately. ||I had to go back to my room||and order room service , only to be told sorry there was one chef or they were under staffed and too busy with the restaurant guests and unfortunately most of the things on the menu was not available.! ||||We had previously called the hotel explaining we were a family with young kids celebrating my birthday and a ( no kids allowed policy) was never mentioned !! . ||Although the grounds are nice, staying in the room was like staying in any holiday inn. Nothing special or boutique about it.||I had our laundry done 3 times , and each time they came back with the same food and dirt stains on the kids clothes . Other Items of clothing were shrunk, ||||With such an effort made to find somewhere special for this occasion it was upsetting to be treated with such distain and rudeness . The staff were actually really accommodating but I will never forget this woman owner . I felt robbed .||||We stayed in very basic places previous to this resort. Those owners were so accommodating and accepting of kids. They organise the same excursions for cheaper and the food was much nicer . I recommend saving your money and having a more authentic and local experience on this beautiful island.||||However this is not a recent review. And I can only hope there has been a change of ownership or management since .
