"Zamaan Named after the Creole word for “almond tree,” this flower-filled, open-air restaurant enjoys pride of place at the pioneering eco-boutique Rosalie Bay Resort. The kitchen employs healthy ingredients fresh from its organic garden in dishes like vegan gumbo, hummus with plantain chips, and a beet-goat-cheese salad. Omnivores should try the grilled lobster tail or citrus-honey chicken."

"Built as a labor of love, this 28-room eco-enterprise is a master microcosm of Dominica. Eight years of construction resulted in 22 acres of riotously verdant grounds (frangipani, ginger lily, heliconia, and hibiscus) and a hotel blessedly free of pretension. It has also resulted in a caliber of comfort, service, and dining hitherto in short supply on the island. The gingerbread-trimmed cottages, set in a horseshoe shape, face a rocky Atlantic beach or are set back with views of the Rosalie River and Morne Trois Pitons foothills. Inside, uncluttered, compact Garden View rooms and generous-sized suites have plantation-style interiors, with coarse plaster walls, stained concrete floors, and sturdy wood furniture, locally built. A three-treatment-room spa is elevated above the crashing surf. Controlling its environmental footprint, the resort uses wind turbine, solar panels, on-site water filtration, and Adirondack chairs made from recycled plastic. From March through October, guests can help monitor turtles—green, hawksbill, and leatherback—nesting on the beach. As impressive as the resort’s green sensibilities is its faith in the locals: Many of the cheery staffers hail from the village of Grand Fond, including a mason who, after construction was complete, trained to be the barman at the Caribbean-inflected Zamaan restaurant. Note: The resort released the following statement after Hurricane Maria hit the island in September 2017: "Dominica was hit by the extremely dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Maria late Monday, September 18, 2017. Fortunately, Rosalie Bay Resort was closed for the month of September for annual refurbishments, so there were no guests in-house during this time. However, due to the impact of the storm, we expect to remain closed until at least February 2020."

Always a treat to go to Rosalie Bay. Our favorite dishes are the pizza, wings, and the fried chicken sandwich. Melissa mixes a great martini! All the staff are friendly and kind and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The resort itself is gorgeous. Definitely worth arriving in the day time so you can see the gorgeous views before dining. Highly recommend!

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.
