    The treehouse feels like a luxurious rainforest glamping experience.

    There are quite a few stairs leading to the treehouse. We didn't mind it but others might have difficulty with them. Living in an open air cottage is not for everyone but we loved it and bugs were not much of an issue except for my teen daughter who managed to be the only one of the four of us to get a few mosquito bites.

    The location is convenient to many attractions. We really enjoyed the pizza night. The space is very roomy and we were able to cook simple meals for ourselves. The place is clean, beautifully decorated and surrounded by the sites and sounds of the rainforest.

    Difficult Parking on street at sharp curve in road. Steps down to bathroom and into room uneven and too high. Would like to have some games that we could play at night in reception room.

    Very nice and helpful staff. location close to the places we wanted to see. Having use of a refrigerator and kitchen supplies was great.

    Pros: Amazing atmosphere, felt like staying inside of a botanical garden. The sounds of rain shower and creatures added coziness. The dinners were hearty and delicious. Staffs were nice and accommodating. Cons: We brought our own just in case so it’s OK but there was no shampoo. Little more privacy on bathroom would be nice.

    Maybe the washing machine for guests in property would be nice, if you do hiking, you definitely need it in Dominica :) Also some tea&coffee kettle in the room would be useful.

    The location is great - close to the waterfalls and other activities. Our cottage was nice, nest in lush nature, was quit and tranqui place, ideal for relax and chill. We especially loved a hammock before cottage. You have shared kitchen and fridge. Staff is also nice. We would stay again, we had a wonderful time here.

    There was no door of the bathroom which was a bit strange and uncomfortable.

    It's a great place if you want to stay in a typical cottage surrounded by the lovely nature of Dominica. The hosts and the employees are super kind and helpful. It was definitely good experience to be in a place like this and I would visit it again. It is situated on a main road so it is easily accessible by car.

    Cocoa Cottage is in every way what you hope for when traveling: a magical place in nature with stunning surroundings and views, cozy beautifully decorated rooms with a personal touch, super friendly employees and hosts that help you with everything you need and great food (I especially loved the breakfast which was such a fantastic way to start a day). I traveled to many places but this will always have a special place in my heart: a magical place that feels like a second home. And we met so many interesting and great other guests there that felt the same way. Thank you so much for everything - I can't wait to come back as I missed this place immediately already after leaving.

    Our stay in Cocoa cottage was just amazing. Lovely cottages in the middle of the rainforest, close to the Dominica's highlights, beautiful wiews from the terrace and very kind ownwers and also the staff. Before our comming we were a little bit affraid of the noises from the rainforest and from mosquitos, but there was no problem wit it and the noises from the rainforest we have just loved - it was so relaxing and in the touch with the nature. We also very appreciated the dinners - made by local cookers in the open kitchen and all the guests had the dinner together arround one big table. So you can meet a new interesting people from different places of the world, tolk to them and have a very interesting evenings with them. Also our two sons (12, 17) loved the stay in Cocoa cottage and enjoyed hollyday full of adventur in Dominica. I highly reccomad this place for those, who prefer nature, original and local stay to five stare hotels "without the soul"...

    Our stay was amazing! We were there for 4 nights, and we loved every part of it. The staff was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner there almost every day, and we were so impressed. Everything was local and delicious. The property is conveniently located close to Titou Gorge and many amazing waterfalls. Highly recommend!

    The cost of the accommodation overall is 2x the cost of what it should be for what it is, and the breakfast is outrageously overpriced for simple eggs, bread, and fruit.

    The grounds were beautiful, and the staff is absolutely amazing. Dinners are phenomenal, homemade style that varied each day.

    Bed was not very comfortable so we slept at the other end - much better. Room was quite small. Would be nice to have an outdoor seating area other than the veranda we had.

    Great location. Attentive and helpful staff and owners. We had breakfast and evening meal on site to taste real Dominica - very good.

    My only complaint is that the mosquito net around the bed was pretty thick and blocked the breeze from the fan/outside. We found ourselves deciding if we wanted to be hot or bitten by bugs each night.

    Great location close to several hikes/waterfalls. Delicious food and nice rooms. The woman who made breakfast was the best. She was so nice and really made you feel at home. It wasn't the same experience at dinner, but she definitely made up for it!

    Pizza night was a bit a of a let down. Handmade to order by a lovely Italian lady but took forever being made and cooked one at a time. The resulting pizza was disappointing.

    Excellent location. Sleeping with the sound of the forest, magical. Lovely breakfast whilst watching humming birds feeding. Owners very sociable.

    Owners were very friendly and helpful with tips on how to enjoy our time on the island. The facility had a common eating and lounge area which brought guests together for meals and gave us a chance to get to know each other and share travel tips. The property is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and has lovely artistic elements everywhere you look. The resident cats were friendly and the meals (bfast and dinner) were simply, tasty and good value. The location is excellent for exploring the natural beauty of the south part of the island.
