Carribean - Dominica - Beau Rive

PDF Print E-mail

Beau Rive is a unique very stylish Hotel in a remote part of the East Coast of the island.  It is very much a reflection of Mark Steele the owner and creator of this small unique luxury hotel which aims to be distinctly different. The philosophy is a rather simple and old-fashioned one: “you will be treated as our guest and we shall do everything we can to make you comfortable.”The facilities do not include the usual, standard fare such as cable TV, room service and the dreaded mini-bar! Instead, all efforts are put into quality of design, and a style of service rarely found today.

It is the way they do things that will set Beau Rive apart from other hotels.Situated 240 feet above sea level on the East (Atlantic) coast between the villages of Castle Bruce and Sineku, the hotel is nestled into a hillside amid three acres of tropical gardens and forest, with a dramatic view of the ever-crashing waves at Anse Français and Wakaman Point. The setting is secluded and private.

One can walk down though the forest and along the Richmond River to the beach, which is wild and rocky. The sea is too rough for bathing but there is a natural rock pool nearby where it is possible to swim when conditions allow. There is a black sand beach at the village of Castle Bruce one and a half miles to the south.

Although Dominica is only 29 miles long by 16 miles wide, due to the mountainous terrain road distances can be deceptive and it is certainly not an island which can be seen in a day. Being centrally located on Dominica's east coast, Beau Rive is a convenient start-point for exploring the country. One can either head up through the Carib Territory to tour the north of the island, or take in the south - Roseau, Scotts Head, the Sari Sari and Victoria waterfalls, Trafalgar etc.
