Wander in the RAINFOREST GARDENS Flowering jade vines of an unbelievable shade of blue, huge pink ginger blossoms, aroids, begonias, bromeliads, heliconias, orchids and ferns form sumptuous compositions to tempt artists, botanists, gardeners and photographers. Geckos and other creatures live contentedly with 30 kinds of bird and 19 species of butterfly amongst hot and cold waterfalls and soothing hot and cold mineral pools. Bathe against the majestic backdrop of famed Trafalgar Falls; a 15 minute walk through the rainforest from Papillote. Explore the various hot pools on the property and in our valley. Hike to Middleham Falls or the Boiling Lake. Don't miss whale-watching or a gondola ride through forest canopy, snorkeling at Champagne, a visit to the Carib Indian Territory or exploring Roseau. Tours, guide service or car rental can be arranged at our hotel desk as well as a great massage on Fridays. Relax in THE RAINFOREST RESTAURANT Sip delicious fresh brewed Dominican coffee or herbal teas and sample our chef's tasty wholesome cooking while you gaze down upon the beautiful Roseau River Valley which stretches down to the sea. Sit quiet and still as hummingbirds flash by tending their ginger plantations and hawks and herons glide across the sky to the mountains beyond. Chat with fellow guests or immerse yourself in green thoughts. |
