We have travelled to at least a dozen Caribbean Islands and stayed at some of the best hotels and resorts but Jungle Bay has won our hearts. They do an amazing job of combining luxury with the outdoors. We felt almost entirely outside during our stay but had the natural comforts of any highly rated hotel. The jungle cottages are amazing and perched perfectly into the steep hillside. The food was 95% locally grown and the kitchen creativity perfect. The more we read about this resorts activities in the local community, its philosphy, and dedication to environmental and social sustainability - we could not stop talking about our next visit back.

Best,
Brandon and Shannon

This is the most wonderful place on earth; a true tropical paradise. Exquisite scenery, surrounded by tropical birds, soothing sounds of crashing ocean waves, birds, tree frogs and a constant warm ocean breeze. The staff bends over backwards to please and is warm and welcoming. You need to love "living in nature" and peaceful surroundings. The food is very fresh, well prepared with healthy choices at every meal. Be prepared for rain, as it is the "rain forest". I highly recommend this resort and plan to return again when the hustle and bustle of daily life in the modern western world requires a "time out".

We had an outstanding active, adventurous vacation at this beautiful eco-resort responsibly tucked into its natural surroundings, and staffed by friendly, competent local people. The Spa/Adventure package is the way to go - every day a choice of unique hikes or trips, massages and treatments, yoga, and tasty, well-prepared meals. Just the right amount of comforts - great bed, showers, in-room fridge, private balcony, views to die for, and the sounds of surf, tree frogs and birds to lull you to sleep after a full day of activity. May not appeal to the bar hoppers or pool loungers - though the nightly special cocktail can be rocket fuel for your dancing feet and the volcanic rock pool is totally relaxing. A beautifully situated, creatively designed resort with everything we wanted for an active vacation.

A phenomenal resort on one of the most beautiful islands we have visited in the Caribbean and Pacific!

The treehouse exceeded our expectations! Luxuriously furnished for the island. Sparkling clean rooms, comfortable beds, thick towels. Peek-a-boo views of the crashing Atlantic ocean that lulled us to sleep each night. Showering outdoors was refreshing and calming with views of the surrounding forest and the Atlantic through its quaint bamboo window! We asked for a secluded and quiet treehouse and loved the 125 steps up to our nest in the trees.

Massage rooms offered tranqulity with an open wall facing the crashing ocean. Therapists listened to our requests and transformed our sore muscles into jelly.

Meals offered many choices. Very good food but a tad bland for our spicy taste buds. We just added Dominican hot sauce.

The staff was incredibly accomodating! They fetched ripe, luscious magoes for us when we were hungry in the afternoon; arranged to pick-up us and our luggage from our previous hotel so we could join the Boiling Lake hike (Do this hike!) on our arrival day; prepared lunch at an earlier time before we left for the airport; and packed us a bag of root vegetable chips to go. Brother filled our hikes with talk of Dominican culture, plants, herbal remedies, and an intense love of his country. And he always generously brought the sweetest, melt-in-your-mouth pineapple for us on every hike. Sam and Glenda, the owners, were actively involved and their personal interest in their guests' happiness, their staff and their resort was palpable!

As an aside, before we came to Jungle Bay for 3 nights, we stayed in Castle Comfort at the Evergreen Hotel's Honeymoon Hut for a few nights. We rented a car, explored Calibishie, ate dinners in Roseau, took a whale watching tour (sperm whales!), and spent a day scuba diving and kayaking with Nature Island Dive. We loved having the opportunity to explore the island on our own but were so pleased to turn in the rental car and retreat to Jungle Bay. Jungle Bay had numerous activities planned daily but most required 45 min. to 90 min. drive time. However, Dominica is such a large island with so many treasures to explore that you will have driving time no matter where you stay.

February was an incredible time of year to go. No bugs, low humidity, warm and sunny days.

We would highly recommend Jungle Bay!!
