Dominica itself is amazing (rainforest, waterfall, secret beaches, hummingbirds ...) and staying at Mermaid's Secret made the trip even more memorable and special. Tim and Sam do a great job in making your stay comfortable and stress-free (a challenge for anyone staying at Dominica!). Be it climbing up the trees for coconuts, trekking across the near-impossible valley of desolation, providing... More

We stayed at Mermaid's Secret for four nights of our honeymoon, and the whole experience was so wonderful that we knew we had to come back – and when we had difficulties with some other accommodation towards the end of our trip, we were lucky enough to be able to! Tim and Sam are incredibly welcoming and great fun, and... More

We spent three days at Mermaid's Secret early April. It was a great place to stay. Tim and Sam make you feel welcome right away (even when arriving at midnight, like we did). They are great hosts and staying with them, and having dinner with them, was a very pleasant experience indeed. The site itself is magical; tucked away in... More

Mermaid's secret is a good place to enjoy forest and rivers. The pool is so good! We enjoyed swiming after hiking. You need to see cyrique ravine near Rosalie. It's a secret fall on the beach, very nice! Tim and Sam are very welcoming and always smiling.

Sam and Tim are wonderful hosts and have created a beautiful, relaxing sanctuary. Great value set aside the gorgeous Rosalie river. There are many activities for those who like to adventure off the beaten track. Try the coconuts:-)

I was fortunate enough to spend a weekend at Mermaid's Secret recently. In a country of over 300 rivers, the river pool at Mermaid's Secret is absolutely the most beautiful. The water is cool, crystal clear, and can be entered by wading, rope swing or jumping from a rock. Sam and Tim were the perfect hosts offering a wide variety... More

We've stayed in several places on the island, but Mermaid’s Secret was the best, by far! It’s in the middle of the jungle, with lovely fully equipped cottages and a nice yurt and very friendly hosts. Tim and Sam have lots of tips about things to see and do on the island (Tim will even pick you up at the... More

Spent a magical day at 'Mermaid's Secret' nature retreat in the Dominican rainforest. We loved the peacefulness of the place and its closeness to nature. Tim and Sam are so friendly and professional as hosts and they made our visit really enjoyable. The Yurts and holiday cabins where tasfully furnished with all modern ammenities which reflected the surroundings. In the... More
