I stayed at Fort Young for the weekend in August. The staff was really very pleasant. The deluxe oceanfront room was so well tailored. The decor was simple but effective. The food is to die for. The Bath & Body Works accessories just placed the room over the top. I had a wonderful time. I fell asleep to the sound of the waves. I really loved it. I'm going to return to Fort Young and stay longer.

We stayed at Fort Young during the July "off season" of 2007. We booked a Deluxe Oceanfront Room, and couldn't have been happier! The room was immaculate and well maintained. The view of Scott's Head (to the north) from the private balcony was lovely.

The activities coordinator, Sonya, was incredibly helpful. She not only set up some group trips for us, but helped us with detailed information about the island.

The restaurant is quite passable. Breakfasts were buffet-style, but with an excellent selection of fresh fruits and the ubiquitous passion fruit juice. Dinners were very good, though it was nice to head out to other local restaurants for a change.

The only complaint (and it's a very minor one) was that the bar staff weren't particularly friendly. It was in stark contrast to every other person we met in Dominica... some of the most genuinely friendly and most helpful people you will ever meet!

The view from the Deluxe Oceanfront room was wonderful. Dominica is an island filled with spectacular, picturesque, natural scenery. It has numerous hiking trails and waterfalls. You must relax in one of the many natural warm water springs. If you are looking to get away from the overally saturated tourist traps of other islands, Dominica is the place to go.

As far as the hotel goes, I enjoyed my stay. My room was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and referred to me by name. Everyone seemed interested in making my stay a good experience. The place was quiet and scenic. Some of the best views in Dominica can be found simply milling around the hotel pool and veranda.

You can plan tours directly from the hotel. Although, you could probably find cheaper rates off site. The food was delicious! I wanted to see more entertainment in the evenings. They had live music only on 2 of the 5 nights I stayed there. But, overall I had a great time and will return soon!

During my trip to Dominica I stayed with my wife at three different hotels, and this was by far the worst. The service was poor, and seemed very unfriendly. I don't blame them though because the guests seemed miserable as well. When I go on trips I enjoy getting away from "mass produced resorts", and this was my experiment with the other side of life. The room was OK. I had a deluxe oceanfront room after reading the reviews of how the other rooms are piss-poor, and I was not that impressed. The view of the ocean was nice, but that is true pretty much everywhere on the coast in Dominica. We ate at the hotel restaurant because my wife is pregnant, and was not up to stray too far. The food was adequate, and very over-priced. If you're going to Dominica find somewhere else to stay unless you prefer to feel like you never left America.
