The Dominicans were sometimes friendly, sometimes downright surly in their attitudes. There is a 15% VAT on EVERYTHING you buy. Also a 10% service charge at all restaurants. So a Sandwich that costs $10 EC (about $3.85 US) will... more

We were excited when we arrived at Castle Comfort. We had heard good things about the property. What a disappointment! The rooms were grungy and the air conditioning did not work. The staff was disorganized and couldn't provide straight answers about the dive operation. Meal selection was usually a single choice and the food was not good. We left early... more

Uncomfortable, very small rooms with shabby furnishings and a spring popping through the mattress, a tiny property with an even smaller pool that has seen better days, expensive drinks, and food that you would rather do without (breakfast starts out as "fine" and then the cuisine deteriorates throughout the day) -- these a divine vacation do not make....even a so-so... more

Dominica is a beautiful country with very friendly people. The Castle Comfort is a very basic hotel primarily geared toward divers. We are avid divers and we thought the dive operation was excellent. The guys on the boat are very friendly and knowledgeable. The diving is good but not excellent. The reef is very healthy and there are some very... more
