If you love serenity with a splash of cool passion fruit, then this is the place for you. This is actually my 4th visit to this establishment and it only warms my heart deeper each time. Make dinner reservations and appreciate all that is Dominica. More

This is one of the most amazing gardens that we have ever seen! It is huge, lush, peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful even in the rain. The hot springs and cool pools and waterfalls are like a bonus to an already Zen-like experience. Don't miss this special place on an already special island. More

We chose the Interlude for a Day at Papillote Retreat ($60 per person includes use of pools, lunch & garden tour) while on a cruise in April. Secure a taxi in Roseau for an appx 4 mile hilly ride to this retreat. Once inside the lush rainforest gardens, the noise of the outside will cease to exist and you will... More

Stayed on sight and thus had several opportunities to explore these delightful gardens. Garden tour (led by head gardener) was really informative and made the experience much more worthwhile. More

Beautiful restaurant in the middle of Botanical Garden with water falls and mineral pools. A night to remember. The food was excellent and our waitress "Princess" could not have been nicer. More
