Roseau Hotels with Gym

This is our second trip to Dominica. The island is the Nature Island and it doesn’t disappoint. The Fort Young Hotel is very well run. Everyone was very friendly. I will say dealing with them via phone or email can be awkward but face to face is fantastic. Any little issue is resolved quickly, and those were few. We did not sign up for the all inclusive as we wanted to try places in town but did have breakfast included. It’s buffet, a bit repetitive but the quality was good and a friendly staff. Exchange rate within the resort was good so we never bothered to convert US to EC. We were scuba diving and the team at the on-site dive shop were some of the best I’ve ever dived with. I’m a dive instructor with dives around the world in some of the best places available as well as throughout the Caribbean. The staff were always helpful and safety conscious while keeping things light and fun. They have great rental gear that my wife used some of. The reefs are in fantastic shape, probably the best in the Caribbean at this time. Enormous barrel sponges, turtles, eels, lobsters, crabs and plenty of reef fish. The shop has two dive boats, one a typical dive boat for maybe 10 divers. We used their other boat that hold 32 divers. We had a total of 18 divers and had plenty of room. Towels are provided as well as fruit bowls between dives. Two camera tanks and spray hoses for spraying yourself down if you like. Air or Nitrox is available. They have at least 2 DMs in the water and sometimes 3 or 4. We will be going back, it’s that good.
