Zandoli Inn was the last inn of our Dominica trip and, in a sense, it was like saving the best for last. Canadian owner Linda is a funny and engaging woman who welcomed us and led us on a short tour of the propery. Think gentle breezes, a romantic and immaculate room, a sheltered cove and the wide, wide ocean before you. The grounds have interesting trees and plants such as the fragrant ylang ylang tree, orchids and a beautiful african iris whose blooms last one day. Evening dinner was served on the veranda with the twinkling lights of Grand Bay town across the bay. The food was delicious, portions were generous and a flourless cake made with Belgian chocolate will remain a fond food memory for a long time. While my partner slept in, I explored the friendly fishing village of Fond St Jean one morning, while the next morning I sat on the inn shore and watched the locals fishing in the bay. All in all, a perfect way to cap our trip.
