We had an absolutely amazing time. Moses, Ingmari, Junior & Israel are gracious host. You will feel like one of the family! You will have interesting personable conversations while here. The landscape is beautiful, like something out of a picturesque Hollywood movie. We loved waking up to the sounds of the forest, rushing water from the river and the cows grazing on our front lawn! You will also be greeted by cats, chickens and maybe a few goats.The wooden cabins are very rustic, but clean and simple. Linens and towels provided. Main bed has mosquito net, loft bed does not have a net. Windows do not have screens. You have the option to book a cabin or a hammock. Bring lots of sunscreen, bug spray and a flashlight. A Shared modern plumbing washroom with cold shower is located about 20 feet away from cabin. Delices is in a remote area of the island, so we booked some transportation with Moses, including airport pick-up . Junior and Ingmari drive like saints compared to others on the island, you will feel safe in the car with them! Road safety standards are a subjective matter on the island, I would much recommend you allow a local to drive you around or use the public bus is only $2 per person. Hitchhiking is common in the Caribbean and is safe, we hitchhiked some and appreciated not only the ride, but meeting strangers sometimes gives you a perspective and insight that is just by chance interesting and adds to the adventure! . We booked a hike with Israel to Victoria Falls, a must do on your trip! It's a short hike, about 30-45 minutes. once you get there, you can swim in the waterfall's shallow pools. The trail is not clearly marked, so it's best to book a guide with one of Moses's family members. On our own, by recommendation of our host, we walked down the road to the ocean, hung out by the rocky shore then hiked the river back to our cabin. It was a long scenic hike, my advice is come prepared with food, water sandals/hiking shoes and a flashlight just in case the night catches you. The hike took us longer than we expected, about 4 hours, it was a beautiful work-out, would do it again but we wished we had brought some food. That would have made it perfect for us! grateful that Ingmari whipped us up dinner as soon as we arrived back. Fresh water refills are easy and plentiful here, access to clean fresh river water to drink! We drank the river water during our entire stay with no issues. We stayed in 4 different places while on this vacation and I can say without one doubt that Ingmari's cooking is the best on the whole island, fresh, locally grown all seasonally ingredients. She accommodated my teen daughter's vegetarian dairy free diet on last minute notice. Even if you decide to stay somewhere else during your Dominica trip, please make a reservation to eat Ingmari's & Moses cooking, you will love this food, so delicious! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because there are some amenities that could be added that would make this a 5 star Eco-lodge. I highly recommended you come visit Zion Valley and experience the genuine Rasta island life with Moses & his family!! Final thoughts is simply WOW!
An excellent stop off point on your way to Victoria Falls.
