Dominica is beautiful. The staff was incredibly nice and very helpful. The on site restaurant is outstanding. The air conditioning broke. The microwave didn’t work. They charged me twice for the room, I called, they processed a refund AND THEN REVERSED THE REFUND for the second charge, so that’s become a thing. All this adds up to one of the better places to stay on the island.

The property is very outdated. The rooms are not up to standard for the price being paid. The hotel only provides a bath soap ( no shampoo, conditioner and cream) My wife and son stayed with me, but only received two bath towels- requested an additional towel-this was never received Stayed two nights and room was never serviced while there. Will not be staying there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It's really basic. I had a unique misunderstanding with the staff (who was on her first day) that meant I spent a very uncomfortable night without air-conditioning, but that wasn't something I could blame her for really. Nevertheless, there was a real problem with mosquitoes. Room was quite bright when lit but gives the impression of student dormitories. Portsmouth itself isn't much fun, especially now that the Ross School of Medicine has moved away to Barbados.

Lovely spacious room at Portsmouth Beach.
Lovely spacious room overlooking prom. Felt cold in night owing to the quilt being too small for its cover, leaving me with a quilt cover containing no filling on my side. Tried to cuddle up to my husband for warmth, but was uncomfortable sleeping on the join of the two singles put together to make a double. My husband located a warm blanket in the top of the wardrobe, which was OK. Housekeeper should be asked to change quilt for a larger one. Pleasant dining room and good breakfast.
