The Plantation House is set in 3 acres of tropical gardens, with stunning panoramic views of the Caribbean sea, and the neighbouring French Island of Guadeloupe and the Iles des Saintes. To the rear of the property is a backdrop of tropical clad mountains. Sitting on my outside benches with a rum punch watching the sun drop into the ocean is one of life's great pleasures, with only the sound of the distant sea surf and birds tweeting. Either Maurice the owner, or Charles, the manager will be available at all times to assist Utter peace and tranquility is the order of the day with only the distant sound of the sea or the chirping of the birds to contend with. Within a short drive is the local town of Portsmouth which has many restaurants and shops, and is situated around a beautiful sandy bay. In fact, this part of Dominica has the best beaches of the whole island, and they are all safe for swimming. Unless walking the trail, a car is desirable, though buses are frequent during the day, but not to everywhere
