8/10 Hyvä

We had a standard double room that faced west with the inner yard and partly ocean, so it was nice to have breakfast at the balcony. The room came with a fridgeµvawe (but no cuttlery), which came handy because the restaurant prices were quite high compeared to the meal sizes, although it was tasty. The room was out-dated, with broken wardrobe, no shampoos. But wi-fi worked well.
The beach was ok, although I'm not sure which part of it was supposed to be private. There were no sunbeds or umbrellas to use at the beach, only chairs that belonged to the restaurant (and you were not allowed to have your own beach snacks or drinks at the restaurant area, which included part of the beach and the jetty). Because the beach faced west you had to walk a bit further down the beach to get the sun in the morning. There was a water sport center there that rented SUP-boards, jet-skies, sails etc. There were sandflies in some parts of the beach, which was not nice, got bitten all over.
There were other, cheaper restaurants close by and a supermarket that catered the international students at the uni, so the variety was larger than elsewhere in Dominica.
The hotel was in walking distance to the Indian river and the "city", but buses were frequent too.
The room price is a bit high for the standard and state of the room, but the location and surrounding made it understandable.
