Picard Beach Cottages
The eighteenth century style bungalows have kitchens and lounge areas, so you can be quite self-sufficient. Each cottage has an additional twin bed in the living area making it possible to sleep up to 4 people. There is a small reef about 30 feet out from the beach which is good for snorkelling and divers will be treated to fantastically varied marine life. The bungalows are fairly basic but have everything you would need.
Our Opinion: This is one of the best of the few beach-front options in Dominica.

Sutton Place Hotel
Very relaxed and informal, this 12 room hotel is built and furnished in a traditional Dominican style. The present structure is relatively new and built on the ruins of the original 19th century guesthouse that was destroyed by hurricane David in 1979. You are just steps away from shops, restaurants, nightlife and the Bayfront Promenade of this small and colourful Caribbean capital full of hustle and bustle.
Our Opinion: Perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in the capital.
