Our experience definitely encompassed all of the best things I've seen written about Papillote! Refreshing, friendly, super clean, delicious food, wonderful setting, delightful host, comfortable rooms, lots of activities, or none, depending on our mood of the day. We were a family of 4, with active members and one temporarily unable to do much walking. Activities were arranged for us... more

Stayed here on the recommendation of friends and it did not disappoint. The setting is lovely ( a 2 min. walk from Trafalgar Falls), it is renowned for it's gardens and they were indeed lovely. We stayed in the best room with its own sulpher spring pool just outside the door, other pools are available, equally nice if not so... more

My family just returned from a week's stay at Papillote Wilderness Retreat. What a fabulous place! The rooms are sweetly nestled in the rainforest, surrounded by fragrant flowers and waterfalls that naturally run both hot and cold. You fall asleep at night lulled by the sounds of the night forest and romantic fragrances of night blooming flowers just outside your... more

If you are looking for a calm and serene environment to spend your vacation make sure you stay at Papillote which is just about 20 minutes drive from the capital Roseau. I had a great time in the 4 hot water pools and one cold water pool all of them surrounded with beautiful plants and stunning waterfalls. It is right... more

This is the most beautiful place on the entire island. The gardens are wonderful, the 4 different mineral baths are great, the banana quit sings at dinnner time and peepers put you to sleep. The peacock wakes you up and you can hear the waterfalls all day while you watch the humming birds. There's too much to talk about, the... more

Cannot say enough about this place. Truly a piece of heaven on earth. You become totally absorbed in the natural beauty around you. Huge tree ferns, hummingbirds, waterfalls, hot mineral baths, orchids, flowers of every color and scent, coco trees, cool mountain breezes. Excellent meals, wonderful local staff, clean nicely arranged rooms. It was very hard to leave this hotel.... more

We just returned from Dominica after spending a relaxing 6 days at Papillote celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. It was better than we expected! It was difficult to leave. The accomodations are in a rainforest with beautiful gardens all around. The rooms are simple but charming. We had the opportunity to stay in two different rooms and both were nicely... more

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, serene, delicious vacation spot. We stayed in the Breadfruit Suite, which was a huge 3-room suite with wood slat blinds, volcanic spring fed shower, and a hot pool right below our room for our enjoyment. The grounds were a botanical dream of short trails through lush rainforest, hot and cool natural pools,... more

The four or five acres of this rainforest lodge encompass what may be the MOST beautiful tropical botanical gardens in the world. The sloping hillside gardens feature a 90-foot waterfall, dozens and dozens of tall tree ferns, cacao trees (chocolate), bromeliads, hot volcanic springs and streams 9and warm geothermal pools for soaking, cool mountain streams with a second, stunning, two-tiered... more

Our stay was satisfactory. The main thing to realize is that Papillote may "drop the ball" with arrangements. Enjoyment and safety should be a higher priority at Papillote. Papillote arranged our transportation from the airport and what we got was a “3-hour milk run” bus. If you are not ready for a tour of the island, then make your own... more
