Hibiscus Valley Inn

I loved my stay at Hibiscus Valley Inn! It has everything I wanted in a vacation in Dominica: he setting, the wonderful meals, the tours that were offered. The staff is thoughtful and kind, and as many other reviewers have commented, Nigel is an incredible chef. I stayed in a cabin, which was basic as I expected but very comfortable. I usually like to travel independently and don't tend to book tours, but driving in Dominica is not for the faint of heart, and the guides we met were just wonderful. We did things I would have never done by myself, like a hike into the woods where we cooked lunch on an open fire by the river. Other highlights were Titou Gorge, Indian River, Kalinago Barana Aute and Emerald Pool. Hibiscus Valley Inn makes it very easy to explore the island, and at the same time has none of the 'corporate' feel that you get in resorts. It's a family-run business, using local guides and growing much of its own food right on site - it's one of those places that is so hard to come by, and I would warmly recommend it.
