Cocoa Cottage

We had the pleasure of staying at Cocoa Cottage for a week. It was truly a beautiful experience. The rooms are situated on a property that overlooks a densely forested valley and is a short drive from Roseau, the capital and nature based activities and points of interest. The staff is wonderful. We felt so well cared for by everyone. They create a welcoming atmosphere and intimate environment with their communal meals they prepare with fresh local produce. They were accommodating and helpful at every turn. As two people who have worked in hospitality for decades, it was inspiring to see and experience. We feel so lucky that we found this absolute gem of a place. It felt like a home away from home and we can’t wait to return!

Lovely place to stay a short drive up the valley from Roseau. The rooms are great, with lots of character and we especially liked lounging on the swing seat watching hummingbirds and enjoying the lush green landscape.

Beautiful cottage! This space is surrounded by nature and was so serene. A lovely getaway from the standard hotel. The staff upgraded me to a larger room with the most beautiful view.
Breakfast was fresh and the staff were helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend this space for all the nature lovers.

We stayed in the treehouse at Cocoa Cottage and it was fantastic surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. It ticked so many boxes for me. The hospitality at Cocoa Cottage was superb and a special thank you to Shaunissa for the wonderful breakfasts providing variety and catering to our vegan/vegetarian requirements. Highly recommended.

We loved staying at the Cocoa Cottage! We stayed in the Treehouse for 5 nights during our honeymoon. The treehouse is amazing, with stunning views of the jungle, sounds of the stream below, and visits from birds, frogs, and other wildlife.
It was a short drive to all the hiking and nature excursions we wanted to do in this area, including the hike to Boiling Lake, Freshwater Lake, Emerald Pool, etc. We loved the family-style dining and getting to know the other guests. And the food was delicious! Some of the best food we had on the island, both the weekend pizza and local dishes other nights, plus a hearty breakfast each morning. Huge thank you to the wonderful chefs and staff who took great care of us.
Our only complaint is that unfortunately there was construction happening every day directly beneath and very near the treehouse, so we did not have much privacy during the day and there was a lot of loud hammering and other construction noises happening throughout the day. We did not get a heads up about this so it was disappointing, especially on one rainy day we had hoped to stay in to relax in the treehouse and enjoy the scenery. Just a warning if you are looking to book the treehouse, maybe check to see if this construction will be ongoing during your stay to manage your expectations.
Other than that, we loved every minute! Definitely recommend checking out the Cocoa Cottage if you are visiting Dominica.

We absolutely loved our stay at Cocoa Cottage!
With a stunning location in the jungle, the accommodation was super clean and cosy, accessible by bus, and surrounded by lots of wildlife. The staff were super lovely and helpful, offering recommendations and even a lift to the city centre when buses were not available.
The shared kitchen area with an accessible fridge was a great option, and we had the option of breakfast (lots of fresh fruit, eggs, coffee & tea) and dinner, which were lovely.
Close to some must-visit nature spots in Dominica, we couldn’t recommend this accommodation enough! 🇩🇲

Hosts and staff were fantastic. Very good communications. Cottages are close to many of Dominicas best hikes and sites. Site is also very tranquil if you are on a down day. Loved the fact they offer meals onsite. It was a lot of fun to eat with others from all over the world and have a beer at the end of the day.

My husband and I spent 7 days at Cocoa Cottages and had an amazing experience. We stayed in the largest room on the second floor which was very specious and comfortable. It had a great balcony and beautiful view of the rain forest. There is a stylish shared living room that we used for playing cards.
The staff was terrific and took great care of us. Shanista (sp) was a fantastic cook and housekeeper. Her husband (guide) drove us all over and showed us the sights. We rented a car for one day, freaked out and turned it in… being on vacation, we didn't need the stress. The other ladies/chefs were excellent. Dwayne, the gardener, changed a flat tire for us on our rental car!
We were up in the mountains so experienced some rain but it never interfered with our plans. We have fond memories of our stay and would highly recommend the cottages.

The grounds are cute, but the location and staff are what make Cocoa Cottage outstanding. This was an ideal base for our first visit to Dominica if you've rented a car. Easy drives to multiple locations of interest and quick access to Roseau, plus a short walk to the Extreme Dominica office (hint: when driving, you can follow the white signs on the road to Extreme Dominica and they'll lead you to Cocoa Cottage). They offer breakfast and dinner for an additional fee, and will accommodate vegetarians without any issues.

We were supposed to go to Cocoa Cottage but our ferry was cancelled last minute. The cancellation fee on booking. Com was the total amount of the price, but the owners were kind enough to waive the fee so we didn’t pay anything. They didn’t have to do that and we look forward to going there next time!

My wife and I got to stay at Cocoa Cottages over a week last year. We loved the home cooked breakfasts and the personal touches of the staff, as well as recommendations for sightseeing around the island. We loved it so much we stayed an extra three days!

My husband and I really enjoyed Cocoa Cottages. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite for 3 nights, and it was a great location to enjoy hiking in the Morne Trois Piton National Park, hot springs, and Roseau. We had dinner two nights and breakfast two mornings at Cocoa Cottages. The meals were delicious, their outdoor dining area is lovely, and it’s so convenient. An added bonus is that we were eating with other guests, so we made new friends, got great advice about traveling around the island and places to see, and could even arrange group outings. The setting is all rainforest, with sounds of birds, frogs, insects, and rain as your companions. The honeymoon suite windows do not close, so we were lulled to sleep by the night sounds, but it may not be a good choice if you need silence to sleep. The owners and staff were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

What a great spot!
CC is located in the cool green hills of Dominica's interior. The property is surrounded by jungle and you'll fall asleep to the sounds of the forest.
We had a room upstairs in the main building. Nice little balcony. It's should be noted that the bathroom is not a separate room, so you should be well acquainted with your travel partner. Another bathroom located downstairs.
Local staff and German owner were friendly and helpful. A good breakfast is provided. Dinner also available upon request. There are a few other places to eat nearby. The only one easily reachable on foot is run by a Haitian family just down the road (simple roadside bar/eatery — order dinner in advance).
Don't think about coming up here without a car. They'd be way too much walking along roads in the sun to reach the attractions.
I would heartily recommend CC to anyone looking for an atmospheric tropical forest experience. This place (along with Dominica in general) was definitely one of the top highlights of my extensive travels in the Caribbean.

Uniquely designed and decorated rooms, open to fresh air, with beautiful outdoor spaces. Family style meals allow for interaction with other guests if desired. Delicious local dishes prepared by wonderful cooks. Clean and well attended, great hospitality.

I had the most enchanting stay at Cocoa Cottage in Dominica! Nestled by a serene river in the lush rainforest, this small hotel is a hidden gem. The natural beauty surrounding the property is breathtaking. The staff's warmth and hospitality made me feel right at home, and the cozy cottages were both comfortable and charming. We stayed in the tree house, which offered amazing views of the surroundings. I recommend bringing earplugs because the rain and frogs can be quite loud!
In my opinion, Cocoa cottage is the perfect place for nature lovers seeking tranquility and a taste of paradise. I can't wait to return to this tropical haven!

What a truly marvellous experience! I was really looking to experience Dominica, not just stay there and Cocoa Cottages made this trip that bit extra. Nestled in the high forested valleys of Roseau, it made were we stay part of the adventure rather than just somewhere to stay between treks. We were staying literally in the forest canopy and with no walls you could lean out and pull a banana off a tree.
This isn't for everyone, it's not quiet with the frog chorus in full swing, but it was really a trip highlight for us. Bugs weren't a problem, but we had full mosquito nets just in case, which made the beds even more cosy. In fact, I wasn't expecting the treehouse to be so well dressed, but it was well furnished and very comfortable, especially the bed which was great. In spite of the rustic setting we had a lovely warm shower and high speed internet. The kitchen was basic (no hot tap and a simple camping stove) but with the hotel hub for fabulous breakfast and dinner, we didn't really need it. My family included a nine year daughter, who didn't mind the wild setting at all, and really enjoyed herself.
Staff were very friendly, owners wonderful hosts and meeting other guests for dinner conversation was a lovely addition. Also, being in the Roseau valley made it the perfrect position from which to explore Dominica. We came for the jungle experience and got it! Highly recommended.

Our stay here was great! We were here Nov 8-10 2022. All the rooms are quite different from one another. Some are in the main building some are separate cottages. We loved ours and it had a great view. The owners, Oliver and Tania were interesting and wonderful hosts. When they aren't there, Silvie, their manager, keeps things running and is also wonderful. Silvie or Shawnisa did all the cooking. No meat but plenty of excellent fish and veggie dishes. Lots of good local veggies that we never had before. Everything that we had was great! Wine and beer are available for a reasonable price. We really recommend this place!
