Stayed in Dominica last year at the south of the island, so we knew what to expect. Portsmouth is a fantastic place and the people are so friendly. We booked through the Cabrits dive centre on a 7 day dive package and stayed 10 nights at the cottages. We expected a shack and were not disappointed, far from being a... more

The location is great - long beach and nice gardens, but the cottages could be so much better (and should be at $144 in the off-season). The kitchenette lacks such basics as can and bottle openers, the fridge has no ice tray, and one wine glass was in pieces in the cupboard. The shower cubicle is tiny, but the TV... more

The hotel is nicely located, right on the beach, but that's the limit of the attraction. The staff could not recommend places to go snorkeling (and they are supposedly associated with a whalewathc/dive center?!).

The staff at the cottages were very helpfull with any request such as setting up tours or answering your basic questions. I can... more

We spent two nights at the Picard Beach Cottages. Our cottage was right on the beach but other than the location, it was pretty dreary. My biggest complaint was the water pressure; it is just a dribble, not good when you want to shower after swimming in the ocean. The whole place was kind of run down and not as... more

Just got back from a wonderful trip to Dominica. Some of the best diving, especially macro diving, I have ever done. We home based in Portsmouth at the northern end of the island, and dove with Cabrits dive center. They were outstanding, especially dive master Kaj. Sites were close, Kaj found the critters we wanted to see, water and weather... more
