Beautiful location with a wonderful view of the green valley. The bed in the beautiful room is comfortable and there is a lot of space for all your things. Community breakfast and dinner every day if you are into that, we enjoyed it a lot and the food was super. One of the best places I’ve visited in the world.

You can see that the cottage has been made with a lot of love and it feels very homey. We loved the food and the great personnel, as well as the common area. They also had great recommendations for activities in the area and organized a great guide for the Boiling Lake Tour for us. Location is also perfect, super close to key activities near Roseau (eg Trafalgar Falls and Titou Gorge)

We especially loved a hammock before cottage. You have shared kitchen and fridge. Staff is also nice. We would stay again, we had a wonderful time here.

It's a great place if you want to stay in a typical cottage surrounded by the lovely nature of Dominica. The hosts and the employees are super kind and helpful. It was definitely good experience to be in a place like this and I would visit it again. It is situated on a main road so it is easily accessible by car.

“A magical place that feels like home”
Cocoa Cottage is in every way what you hope for when traveling: a magical place in nature with stunning surroundings and views, cozy beautifully decorated rooms with a personal touch, super friendly employees and hosts that help you with everything you need and great food (I especially loved the breakfast which was such a fantastic way to start a day). I traveled to many places but this will always have a special place in my heart: a magical place that feels like a second home. And we met so many interesting and great other guests there that felt the same way. Thank you so much for everything - I can't wait to come back as I missed this place immediately already after leaving.

“Amazing place in the middle of the rainforest”
Our stay in Cocoa cottage was just amazing. Lovely cottages in the middle of the rainforest, close to the Dominica's highlights, beautiful wiews from the terrace and very kind ownwers and also the staff. Before our comming we were a little bit affraid of the noises from the rainforest and from mosquitos, but there was no problem wit it and the noises from the rainforest we have just loved - it was so relaxing and in the touch with the nature. We also very appreciated the dinners - made by local cookers in the open kitchen and all the guests had the dinner together arround one big table. So you can meet a new interesting people from different places of the world, tolk to them and have a very interesting evenings with them. Also our two sons (12, 17) loved the stay in Cocoa cottage and enjoyed hollyday full of adventur in Dominica. I highly reccomad this place for those, who prefer nature, original and local stay to five stare hotels "without the soul"...

“Very convenient for getting into Roseau and for hiking trails, beautiful views”
We spent a week at Cocoa Cottage for an event in Dominica and although we are not hikers (and I didn’t really know what to expect) we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in nature, the views and silence was amazing. Having a car would have been ideal but we managed to get in and out of Roseau using local buses and taxis. The Team at Cocoa Cottage were awesome very welcoming and helpful, I’d like to say a huge thanks especially to Shaunisa, Marilyn and Dewayne for their help during our stay with getting around and tips on things do.

“A quiet escape from Roseau”
Superb staff who were courteous and helpful. They accommodated all our requests including specific breakfast times (the breakfast and the view are amazing). The place was easily accessible but felt very secluded. We loved that there was a mosquito net for the bed too as it does get buggy in the mountains.

“exotic”

“A friendly, comfortable garden oasis.”
Owners were very friendly and helpful with tips on how to enjoy our time on the island. The facility had a common eating and lounge area which brought guests together for meals and gave us a chance to get to know each other and share travel tips. The property is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and has lovely artistic elements everywhere you look. The resident cats were friendly and the meals (bfast and dinner) were simply, tasty and good value. The location is excellent for exploring the natural beauty of the south part of the island.

It is an amazing location surrounded by nature and a fantastic getaway from the hectic city routine. The room was comfortable with unique design, and I had a pleasant stay. Above all, the staff are the heart and soul of this delightful guest house and made the experience as smooth and as memorable as possible, which I deeply appreciate. I would definitely recommend and would stay again 👌

“Nice stay close to local Dominica activities and sites. Disappointed about noise / workers around Fou Fou room.”
Really beautiful location amidst tropical jungle and little river. We were in the Fou Fou room. Great location near Roseau and near Trafalgar falls and Titou Gorge / Boiling Lake hike. Next door to Extreme Dominica (canyoning). The owners send you a welcoming guidebook with lots of info on things to do in the area, restaurants, guide numbers, rental car companies etc. Very helpful. The room itself is spacious and comfortable, good mosquito net, and good little terrace where you can enjoy and relax. We had dinner there one night and, although a bit pricey (25 USD per person), was very yummy and filling.

“Great place to meet people”
Amazing location in the rainforest! Close to most thing you wanna do in the valley. Cosy cotteges, good breakfast and pizza (we didn't try the regular dinner) and as clean as it can be in a humid rainforest. The best thing however was just to meet all the people, both the staff and other travellers! All staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful, and it was great to meet other travellers. We didn't have a car because with our original plan there was no need, but due to heavy rain we had to reschedule some things. However, every breakfast or dinner we met somebody friendly who gave us a ride or let us tag along for the day. During the pizza evenings a lot of interesting non-residents came and ate as well. Both locals and island-hopping sailors.
