I recently stayed at Castle comfort on a vacation with my wife. Transportation to the Lodge was included in our package, which is a great thing based on the expense of taxi service on the island and its distance from Melville Hall airport. We arrived to two glasses of rum punch and friendly staff members giving us a tour of the facilities and our room. We had one of the rooms overlooking the ocean. The room size was adequate and comfortable. There were a variety of ways you could control the temperature to make sure you were comfortable. The beds were not the best, but were definitely comfortable to sleep on. All in all, good for the price.
Our dive package included all of our breakfasts. We had four or five choices each morning with fruit, juice, coffee and a 'main course'. I sort of settled in on the banana pancakes with bacon. Life was good. We had lunch at the lodge two days and both times it was ready within a few minutes of us getting of the boat. We enjoyed both lunches, no complaints. We did not go on their plan for dinner, but had dinner there three or four nights. We tried most of the selections on their menu over our stay and found everything to be enjoyable. Maybe a touch expensive, but not unreasonable. The lobster will nearly fill two people (get a small appetizer to share and you will both be set). The staff also told us what all the vegetables and fruits we were not familiar with were, showed us several of them. The staff was very friendly and service was quite good. Drinks were reasonably priced and potent. The rum punch is flammable, I'm convinced. Excellent pina coladas too.
The diving staff was very friendly, knowledgable and responsible. We are novice divers. They checked in with us throughout the dive to see where our air levels were and whisked us away if our time was up before other people in the group. They pointed things out for us that we would have missed. The boat captains chased after dolphins and pilot whales during our surface intervals or brought us to a natural 'hot tub' to soak. They also set us up with a rental camera that was fun to play with. The diving is great. We saw a large variety of critters, turtles, fish, everything we expected to see. The staff knew good routes at each site and did a great job of leading us through at a good pace.
If you expect five star service and rooms, I would recommend other places on the island. If you are looking for a comfortable place with very reasonable room rates, this is a great place. We definitely intend to go back. They also are very close to Roseau, trips into the capital city are quick, cheap and easy by bus. We were able to attend the opening of Carnival and dine in other restaurants because we were so close.

My husband and I went to Dominica on our honeymoon. We wanted to dive and had heard that Dive Dominica was the best there. Well, our stay at this dive lodge was excellent. The accommodations are not necessarily 5 star luxury, but their prices aren't either. They arranged for our transport from the airport which was really nice to not have to worry about. When we arrived at the lodge, we were greeted by the very friendly staff and some very potent rum punch.

Our room was an ocean view one. Normally in the Caribbean when you book a room that says "ocean view," you might see a tiny sliver of the ocean. This was not the case at Castle Comfort. We had a balcony that really was right on the water. We drank our rum punch while watching an incredible sunset on out own balcony. Our room was nice, and clean, nothing fancy, but perfect for our needs and budget.

The place was really quite while we were there and the staff incredibly attentive. We ate here quite a bit and the food nice and not too expensive. It is also a very quick bus ride into town (1.50 E.C. per person) or less than one mile walk although the sidewalks aren’t there the whole way.

The diving with Dive Dominica was also stellar. All of the dive masters were incredible and friendly. Bamboo definitely went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience and Jamie helped us rent and learn to use an underwater camera that was a lot of fun. I will be recommending this place to any friends and family that are interested in scuba diving in Dominica.

A friend and I were there for the month of June doing medical relief. We actually did not stay at Dive Dominica as we had accomodations provided for us by the hospital. That being said we did spend a lot of time there doing tours and getting certified to dive. This was an excellent establishment. More than professional and went above and beyond to provide us with a great experience. We decided to get SCUBA certified since we were on the island for a month and after the first lesson I decided diving was not for me. This had nothing to do with the dive instruction just the fact that I didn't like it. They were completely accomodating and forgiving. They refunded me all my money. My friend continued on with the course and they allowed me to hang out around the hotel for free, snorkel and swim with their equipment for free while she took the course. When my friend did her open water dives they let me go out on the boat with them and snorkel for free. We also did some sight seeing tours with them. Their prices were great and they offered very safe and fun services. We did eat quite a few meals there. All were great.
I would highly recommend this place. All of the divers who were there and milling around had nothing but good things to say. Many of them were return customers. Dominica is a beautiful country. For all you nature enthusiasts out there its worth the trip to check it out!

We stayed at Castle Comfort Dive Lodge for 3 nights. It was a wonderful experience! The room was very clean, the staff was very friendly, the food was great and so were the bartenders, Walter and Curly. We felt very welcome and relaxed, and the US$78 price was just right for us. We definitely want to stay there again on our next trip to the fantastic island of Dominica!!
