While the room was spacious and decorated in a romantic way and the bathroom contained a couple of nice touches such as two robes, this hotel is not, at this time anyway, what it purports to be.

We stayed in three different hotels on Dominica. This one was the most expensive and our least favorite.

One end of our room overlooked the driveway and on our second night there, some young friends of the staff skidded their SUV on the gravel in the middle of the night so loudly that it woke up even my husband who is a very sound sleeper. Later the same night, another character who was hanging around the place clicked on the outdoor light in the breezeway so that the other end of our room was flooded with light --- almost as though someone had walked into the room and flipped the light-switch.

The food was mediocre and overpriced. The chef wanted to make it seem as though it was our fault he was not prepared to cook for a vegetarian because we had not informed him ahead of time my husband is a vegetarian. This was not a problem at any other place we ate while on Dominica! The chef apparently had no fresh produce on hand which seemed strange on such a lush island. The coffee served at breakfast was instant and not even made strong enough. I felt sorry for the waitresses: They seem to want to do a good job but had not been adequately trained.

The flower garden adjacent to the hotel is the one big thing this place has going for it.

We just got back from Dominica last week and stayed one night at the Silks Hotel at the last minute. We were staying with a group somewhere else on the island for an Eco yoga retreat and came to Silks for dinner and ended up staying the night to experience a new locale- as well as to enjoy some rest, relaxation and privacy. We had the Suite in the Tower which was phenomenal as are all the rooms on the premises. The food is absolutely fantastic and the service is personable, the environment intimate and cozy.

Evans, the Chef, was helpful and informative and gave us info of the grounds. If going for a destination wedding this hotel is the place- speak to them about what they may be able to offer you, but let me tell you the grounds are beautiful for pictures. I will look to post some photos at a later point but this place was a dream. It only has a few rooms which is part of its signature- you feel at home and removed from everything else on the island. Book in advance if you would like to choose your room.

You are paying for one of the best hotels on the island- however I do think prices were a tad expensive considering that Dominica is still a hidden treasure and the ratio of the dollar to the local ccy and we stayed during their low season- Worth the stay however as the staff works hard to please- Breakfast was amazing filling and very delicious- enjoyed eating it out near the pool and then dipping in for some sun and relaxation. You will truly feel in paradise at this place. I hope that they don't change too much or expand it too much in the future as it will take away from the ambiance.
