Why Dominica?

is Dominica's foremost beach hotel. Located in the middle of the west coast of the island, all of Dominica's famous attractions are within easy reach. Sites such as the Cabrits National Park and Indian River in Portsmouth, the Syndicate Nature trail in the parrot habitat, Emerald Pool in the Northern Forest Reserve and Trafalgar Falls east of the capital city of Roseau are all just 30 to 45 minutes away from the hotel.

When looking at the map of Dominica, Castaways is located about 1.5 miles north of the mouth of the Layou River, between the small vilages of St. Joseph and Mero. A 25 minute drive down the coast will put you at the Canefield Airport and the capital city of Roseau. A one-hour drive through the virgin rainforest gets you at Melville Hall airport.

The 26 rooms of the hotel are set in a lush, tropical garden on a beautiful gray sand beach. One of the finest in Dominica. The five acre grounds of the hotel are the home to many interesting flora and fauna, including many species of birds, iguanas, traveler palms, mango trees and more.

The attractive and spacious accommodations offer calming Caribbean vistas from the balcony of every room.

When Mr. Bill Harris purchased and completed constructions on the hotel some 35 years ago, he took great pride in personally landscaping the gardens to his liking. Over the years, to this date, he has continued to groom the tropical surroundings. The result is a truley beautiful hotel setting, unmatched in Dominica. The atmosphere is one of "old time Caribbean", having be called "Hemingwayistic" by recent guests. The setting, coupled with the service provided by a small, family run operation, makes for an ideal vacation resort.

After a day of hiking, sightseeing, birdwatching or diving, it is a pleasure to return to Castaways and enjoy the warm reception of the resort. Relax and sunbathe on the beach, or for those still having energy, a game of horseshoes or tennis, a kayak down the coast line, beach volleyball, basketball, a ride on a mountain bike up a beautiful river valley... the options are many.

The Almond Tree restaurant, Rhum Barrel Bar and Castaways Beach Bar are the social gathering areas of the resort. The Almond Tree and Rhum Barrel are open on a daily basis and are located in the main building of the hotel. Both offer spectacular views of the ocean and sunset, giving many their first views of the famed green flash. A wide range of cuisine and tropical drinks are offered, specializing in the particular blends of spices and flavors of produce grown in Dominica.

The Castaways Beach Bar is the prefect place to relax. It is the setting for the bar-b-ques which are held on occasion throughout the week, and every Sunday afternoon. It is a favorite for visitors and locals alike as they are able to enjoy grilled lobster, fish or the best ribs on the island. The beach at Castaways is gaining the reputation as "thee" place to be on a Sunday afternoon.

A nice option recently implemented at Castaways is the "Dine Around Dominica" option. Each week an evening excursion is planned to a different local restaurant to ensure our guests get a chance to experience some of the different cuisine the country has to offer. The excursion may entail a walk down the beach to a little local spot in the neighboring village of Mero... or it may involve hopping in the Castaways vehicle and heading off to a beachfront hangout in Portsmouth. Very reasonable rates are arranged for transportation, if necessary, depending on the location chosen.

If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or honeymoon, let us know and we will make the occasion a special one for you.

The activities desk staff is there to assist you in any way. Whether it be diving, snorkeling, whale watching, ocean kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, horse back riding, or just limin' on the beach... you will never run out of adventure in Dominica!! And the friendly staff at Castaways is there to help you in your planning...there to help you in any way possible.
