9.2/10 Wonderful! (5 reviews)
This was my 2nd time staying at Pinard Mountain Resort and it was wonderful. The beautiful views and calm tranquil surroundings made my stay amazing. The staff are warm and welcoming. I was very happy to see Ms. Remy again. She is a beautiful & intellegent young woman and a great asset to the resort. I was very sad to leave but am hopeful to come back and stay again next year. Much love to Pinard Mountain Resort. 10 out of 10.

The hotel itself is beautiful, the food was good however the costumer service was horrible, more so at the Palisade restaurant. Staff needs to be trained on how to speak to guests. They very unpleasant.

Mero Beach
I love the windswept trees and bushes lining the eastern coast. Dominica is right in the heart of Hurricane Alley, and the vegetation here is built to withstand it. The last direct hit was 1995, but it was Hurricane David in 1979 that did the most damage - 145mph winds killed 56 people and left 75% of the island homeless.
