We booked a beach front cottage with reservations due to the negative feedback on this site. However, we were pleasantly surprised - location was amazing - step down from porch onto the beach, kids could play and swim while we sat on the porch, and amazing sunsets! Rustic, older cottage but clean and comfy. Banana, Coconut and Mango trees on... More

Ok everything isn't perfect in your cabin which is on the rustic side, but you can't beat the location, beautiful sunsets over the carribean and the wonderfully helpful and friendly staff. The grounds are well maintained and the beach is fantastic to walk (and swim) on. We rented a car at the airport so trips to the rainforest, hiking trails... More

Our trip recreated memories of my childhood, the beach, fishing on the pier, moodlight swimming, raindrops on the cabin roof. The most amazing thing the cabin afforded was the opportunity to clean and prepare the catch (fish) for dinner. Just extra ordinary. Definitely a spot with t.he ambience of the scene in the days when pirates roam the caribbean. The... More

We stayed on Dominica for well over a week and stayed at three places. We upgraded from the Portsmouth Beach Hotel to the Picard Beach Cottages and we should have done this much sooner. These are nice little cottages right along the beach, with a row of cottages behind those that have a direct view of the ocean. The cottages... More

Stayed there for just one night. As another review noted - it is pricey. But if you're into the rustic, LOST (yup, the TV series) vibe, this is your place. But it was a little too rustic for me. Highlight was the mouse that was dancing on my bathroom sink. Staff are amazing though. Top class customer service from a... More

I actually reserved a room at the Portsmouth Beach Hotel and was very pleasantly surprised when they put us in the adjacent cottages. It was during off-season and they said they are willing to offer the cottages at discounts to those who ask. The cottages were basic but clean and comfortable. We rented snorkels for a half day at a... More

I was here in August 2011 but under the title 'when did you stay..." it won't give me that option so I said June because despite all the bad reviews about the state of repair the whole place must have been renovated because I didn't see it. Everything was clean, staff were very polite and helpful. The students were on... More

We had a superior beach cottage. I cannot image what the others were like because our accommodations were horrible. The cottage was in a state of disrepair, as was the entire facility. Several examples are as follows: 1. Florescent lighting in living area and bedroom 2. Broken and filthy beach chairs on our deck and in front of our cottage.... More

We stayed here for four nights in early June. There were only two other cottages occupied, so it was a quiet and serene vacation. The AC had to work pretty hard, but we were cool enough. BUT ---- returning home our VISA bill had a $54 charge on it, separate from our deposit and final charges at check out. I... More
