I stay at the Champs frequently, and welcome from Lise and the staff is always excellent. The view, well that never gets old. The rooms are spacious, well equipped with everything you could possible need. Their breakfast has so many delicious choices and it is served either in the restaurant or on your own balcony. The friendly staff is always prepared to accommodate your every wish, whether it be for lunch or dinner. But also with anything else you need. The pool is beautiful with a spacious deck and deck chairs. Highly recommended during you trip to Dominica,
Tips:Too much to mention. Both Lise and the staff are very well informed about the numerous possibilities to discover the island. And currently Dominica has a special Safe in Nature program, for visitors who are in Covid quarantine. Which means you can see sites and experience the Nature Island with a certified guide during your quarantine.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you so much for this review. The staff and I are happy to welcome you back anytime.

The Champs ended up being just what I needed as a getaway with two kids. All the meals we had there was delicious. The views were breathtaking. The pool was reinvigorating and our rooms were comfy. Only complaint is the wifi was a bit unsteady on Sunday afternoon as I had a conference call and ended up having to use my hotspot but the view took away that minor issue. I will definitely be back.
Tips:The complimentary breakfast is really filling and delicious. The dinner I had at the Champs was also a huge portion and tasty. I tried Shawarma King down the hill for lunch and bathed at Purple Turtle Beach further in Portsmouth. I could repeat this trip all over again.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks a lot. As for the WiFi we are depending on our supplier although we have a strong internet it is always possible to have some interupts for some minutes.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this Hotel as it was my first staycation since COVID 19 was brought to our borders. I was able to celebrate both me and my boyfriend's birthday in style. Upon entry though there was quite a wait to get checked in but we were offered an extra complimentary drink and was given an eventually great welcome. The room was satisfactory to our needs although I did make a special request for the room to be decorated in birthday fashion which was not done. Overall our stay was great! Food was fantastic! View to die for! Will definitely return.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks and again sorry for the mishap in the communication with my staff for the decoration of the room.

Wonderful small hotel. Gorgeous view, friendly staff, delicious food in the restaurant and many great suggestions for local sights to see. We loved our time at The Champs and can hardly wait to go back. The owners and the staff are the best!
Tips:We went to the beach and the fort but loved our hike in the National forest and the tour of Free Up Farm the best. Also yoga around the pool was a lovely experience. What a view.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks a lot for this Wonderfull review. We can use some positive news during the Corona crisis. We do all we can to be sure to be ready again to receive new guests as soon as this is over and we get the green light.

Great personalised service - Lise, Hans and all the staff took care to ensure we had a really good holiday and not only made sure we thoroughly enjoyed not simply the hotel but also helped with all our arrangements for exploring the island. The restaurant served high quality food from what has to be the best view across the whole Bay.
Tips:Fort Shirley is a great area for walking and seeing wildlife. Portsmouth is quiet and very friendly - don’t miss the local museum. Plenty to see around the island - we had some great days out and about guided by Roy of Trinity Taxis. Highly recommended!
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks for your kind words we will do our best to keep our standards hight. We are happy your experiences on the Nature Island was good.

The Champs was a wonderful place to stay for our visit to the North part of Dominica. The hotel and view weee just great. The owners were awesome to work with and provided a lot of help organizing tours and taxis. The staff was really good too. We enjoyed talking with the chef before dinner. Sabrina was really great to work with. We were even provided a lunch to go one day that we hiked in the area. We would highly recommend to others and will stay again if we return to Dominica.
Tips:We tried the restaurant in the hotel and it was so good we ate there both nights, which we unusual for us as we like to try local places. The owner, Lise, helped us arrange a ride to hike the Sanctuary trail and then down the farm road to the Sanctuary waterfall with a pick up at the end. this was a great hike for us - about four hours including stops for pictures and picnic at the falls. We also went to Cabritz. Make sure you hike up the East Cabritz Trail to the ruins and for the views.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks for the nice words I will pass it to the Chef and Sabrina. And please do come back.

With only 5 rooms the service at The Champs was very personal and special. We couldn’t ask for more. They arranged for pick-up/drop-off at the airport and trips to local attractions. The food was delicious with home made bread, jam and juices. All in all a very positive experience for us as guests.
Tips:It’s about a 10 minutes walk up-hill from the beach to The Champs. We went to the Syndicate trails and falls, which was a very nice experience. We also went to Fort Shirley and planned to walk back to the hotel (was picked up by Lise and Hans as they passed us in the city centre).
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks, it was a pleasure having you as our guests. I will tell Tamara te keep making her fresh bread and jam's for the mornings.

The Champs is far enough from the busy areas of Portsmouth to feel quiet and peaceful and close enough to walk to businesses and area attractions. The view is lovely and pool very nice. Staff and service are excellent and we felt well cared for. With only 5 rooms, the environment felt family-like. Breakfast and dinner were simple and home-cooked. Room was clean and spacious with fridge and cable. Overall it was a relaxing stay and very pretty.
Tips:Fort Shirley was nicely kept and had good walking paths. A trip up the Indian River was peaceful and beautiful. Town was interesting to walk through and people very helpful. Food at the hotel was fine for us and we didn’t try other dining.
Would Recommend: Yes

It was a pleasant stay. The staff were both friendly and helpful. The only con, the breakfast menu could be more varied. Also, the hotel could increase how often it updates its social media platforms (particularly, its Instagram page) so persons looking online could easily have access to up-to-date information about the hotel.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks a lot, you are right Instagram is still a challenge for us. We will do our best to get it updated Lise

I was able to keep in touch with Lise (the hotel owner) at all moment after l booked. She arranged and make sure that l had a shuttle available to pick me up at from the airport. It was very easy to inform Lise when my flight to Dominica was cancelled and l had to travel the next day. From the taxi driver who picked me up and took me back to the staffs of the hotel, l have no complain.
Tips:The most interesting part is that Lise had instructed the manager to make me breakfast when ever l arrived. It was very amazing when the manager said Lise asked that we make you some food because you should be very hungry. Of course, l was so hungry when l arrived. The food l ate throughout my stay was very delicious and the staff very respectful and professional. I can’t ask for anything more.

Friendly and homely environment. Hans and Lise were welcoming and shared many of their tourism tips which motivated us to do a nature trail. It was well organised and extremely memorable.

OK so this booking was very last minute and most of the decent hotels were fully booked up in town. We originally came to Dominica by ferry as a whistle stop to visit family, Admittedly we judged the distance from Roseeu to Portsmouth wrongly, which was a lot further than anticipated. It took approx an hour travel time and on a short visit this wasn't ideal. The hotel was way up in the mountains but believe me when I say it was worth the hassle. We arrive at the hotel very late approx 9.30pm. I had informed the hotel via email who answered back swiftly. Upon arrival I was greeted by the night staff who had gone beyond her shift time to wait for us and who cooked us a meal which was of course delish before settling in our room down one fight of stairs. We wheeled your luggage through a short passage way before being given our keys. We stayed in a king sized room which was spacious and very clean. I do pay attention to detail and the room passed lol. The furniture was a little tired but in keeping with carribean living. The king sized bed was comfortable, and whist I didn't take the time to look on this ocassion, we did not sink in the middle so assume it was a whole bed, which made sleep time heavenly. The curtains were dark enough to cut out sunlight and equipt with air con, ceiling fan, good lighting, a small fridge for out groceries. Kettle etc, TV which we did not try,the room covered everything. There was no balcony however as soon as your opened your front door the large verander overlooked the small pool ares, and breathtaking views of the island and sea. The following day we was greated by the manager Lisa who spent time talking to us on a variety on topics. She was very warm, attentive and accommodating which was a beautiful personal touch.Here staf were equally as accommodating and happy to help with your needs. The pool is not huge, in fact to me it looked like a giant baby bath lol but enough to wade in and keep cool,personally our stay was short so did not try the facilities but the sea was only a few minits away. We had our own transport but Lisa would be more than happy to make your stay a great experience. We went for a walk which was safe, and the locals were so kind. Would we stay here again. Most definately! In truth is is a fair distance from the the town but its quiet and I'm guessing you world be hard pressed to find such stunning views in an environment that oozes class, cleanliness and cosyness. Oh! one more thing, a short walk down the winding hill, there a bars, local shops etc so if you want to experience local life, music etc then it's not too far away.

L'accueil est très chaleureux. Les hôteliers et leurs employés sont très sympathiques. L'hôtel est situé sur les hauteurs de Portsmouth, ce qui permet d'avoir une vue imprenable sur la baie, encore en travaux suite à l'ouragan, mais aucune gêne de ce côté là. Un séjour inoubliable. Merci.

Friendly and personal service. The chef made a real effort to accommodate our dietary preferences.
Tips:The Keeping It Real restaurant at Toucari Beach was very good. We had 2 fish meals which were delicious. Meals are cooked to order so they take a while but the wait is worth it. Hiring a jeep is a good way to get around the island as the roads are generally in good condition and not busy.

The friendliest hotel we have ever stayed. Lise ,Hans and all of the staff are totally committed to making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Lise has strong contacts in the area and so she makes light work of helping you to arrange any tours you want to take. Rooms are very good size and the views from the terrace are stunning. The food is well cooked and good value.
Tips:If you can book a trip with Dr Birdy then do so. The man is not only a legend but has a personality that you just can help taking to. He will tailor your trip to the Syndicate National Park to your needs and abilities. Also good are the Cabrits, Fort Shirley and the Indian River. You need a park pass for all these trips- 2018 cost is 12 US dollars each, but Lise will help to arrange these.

My Champs Hotel experience was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. The communication before my stay with tips to make my stay easier was unexpected.

I would recommend staying here and definitely would come back again.

Hotel The Champs back in business after huricane Maria This was our third visit to the hotel and our expectations were limited after the hard blow of Hurricane Maria. Nothing was less true compared to the rest of the island. The owners Lise and Hans have done it all together again. The roof is back on and the solar installation is working again. The rooms are in top condition, when you are inside it is as if nothing is happening, wonderful. The pool is great. And the restaurant / kitchen is functioning again. Most importantly, the great personal approach has not changed. Good luck!

This is my go to place when I am in Dominica. I have stayed there multiple times and it always lives up to my expectations. After the country went through quite possibly the worst hurricane ever they came out the other end shaken and bewildered, BUT they stayed on course and have grown stronger because of it. The staff, ownership and community of Picard Portsmouth are coming back. YEAH!!!
Tips:Take a cruise up the Indian River with Spesh!!! The hiking and waterfalls are some of the best in the world. Just remember they are recovering from a devastating storm and if your after 5 star comfort dont bother, but if you want a clean safe and exciting adventure, I recommend it.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Champs and we would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to spend a few days in Dominica. Here is why: -Lise and Hans are lovely hosts! Their hotel crew went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. -It is not a typical hotel. We felt like we were at home and a part of their family. It was a great experience. -The view from the hotel is amazing and you can experience one of the best Caribbean sunsets from the pool. -the food is incredible. Their home made bread is our absolute favorite! -the rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. -they make very good pizzas too! -did I mention lovely hosts? :)
Tips:Dominica is a gorgeous island with warm and loving people. Their economy needs tourists particularly at this time. If you love nature and are looking to soak up some Caribbean sun or if you are a deep sea diving enthusiast please visit Dominica. It’s an experience of a lifetime.

The hospitality and atmosphere was phenomenal. The owners were available at anytime and for anything, from shuttling to helpful advice. We felt like family from the airport pickup to the very end of our trip. The Champs restaurant was by far the best of all we tried.

Great views, delicious breakfast, great team of staff, Lise and Hans very warm and welcoming hosts, good restaurant on site, good location.Very accommodating to all your needs. We got married on the beach while we were staying there, and the staff decorated our room and private terrace with candles and petals, it was totally unexpected and made the perfect end to a perfect day. I can't thank the Champs enough, we hope to visit again on future anniversaries.
Tips:The on site restaurant is good, there are 10 more restaurants and snack bars within 15 minutes walk. The Indian River and Cabrits national park are close by, and many other attractions within 1.5 hours drive.

Everything was so amazing. I've been there for only one night and it was the best one. The hotelroom was spotless and consisted of everything you need. I had the best sleep in ages here! The staff was friendly and they made sure I had a delicious breakfast with the amazing Dominican view!
Tips:Since I was there only for one night, I can only give a few tips. The pizza from Hotel The Champs tastes like it comes from Italy! The Indian River is close (for the Pirates of the Caribbean spot). Very nice tour-guides there (we went with the company Cobra). Walking down the hill, you can see some nice markets. Furthermore, we got advised to go to the Syndicate (Milton) waterfalls, haven't seen it though.

Welcoming manager and staff. Freshly made breakfasts. Rooms were clean and tidied daily. Reasonably spacious rooms, and decent bathroom. The hotel itself is up the hill from the main road, the hotel offers the occasional shuttle service from their driver down into town. The views are excellent of the hills and bay. The hotel is set in a small community of guest houses and apartments generally tourist and some of the students from the local medical school. Very quiet surroundings and also a very safe and secure area to stay with very friendly locals.
Tips:The bar and restaurant at the hotel serve pizza and snacks but have special weekly gourmet night and bring in a top chef, well worth a night in. There are also a number of local restaurants including a good local Italian local cuisine and fast food outlets.

A true home from home, what a great experience and as a single traveller it was a perfect choice.

Tips:There is a considerable amount of things to do and places to visit and again Lise and Hans are extremely knowledgeable and can arrange a whole variety of excursions and activities for their guests to do but if you just fancy doing nothing and relaxing in the sun then this is a perfect place to do this also.

No question you and your staff are your greatest assets. They are friendly, willing and genuinely helpful. They went out of their way to do everything possible to help us and made our stay perfect.
Tips:We planned to do nothing and relax and that was pretty much what we did.Suggest to others not to bother to go into Portsmouth - nothing much to see or do. Picard however is a different story with seemingly good restaurants and the IGA supermarket is good. Suggest a bus ride to Roseau to see botanical gardens.

Un cadre très agréable et une vue qui laisse rêveur. Une équipe extraordinaire et d'une gentillesse qui fait chaud au coeur.
Tips:Surtout ne pas hésiter à discuter avec Lise qui est une personne formidable et une organisatrice hors du commun. Le restaurant ne propose pas toujours ce qu'il y a sur la carte mais, il y a de quoi faire aux alentours. Les petits déjeuners en terrasse avec la vue panoramique compense largement la carte du dîner pas toujours respecté.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous donner votre avis. Nous sommes très heureux que votre temps avec nous était super. Merci pour les compliments de Lise et de notre équipe agréable.

Lise set-up transportation from/to the Airport for us, which we highly recommend. The drive from the Airport is about an hour through the jungle, along the ocean & over the mountains. Very enjoyable. Arriving at the Champs we found it to be all that was advertised and we checked-in with the help of Kevin (Manager). We did find the AC not functioning properly, a few missing light bulbs & the safe needing tweaking. Kevin was right there to get it all in order very quickly. The grounds are landscaped nicely and the feel of the establishment was welcoming. The included "Made to Order" Breakfast was fabulous and served with a smile.Our stay was very pleasant and we would not hesitate to stay there again in the future.
Tips:Bring bug repellent. Do not be in any hurry for anything. The Hotel is on a steep (to some) street, the Hotel does provide a shuttle. Plan ahead. Got to go to Sisters Restaurant, on the beach. Tomato is another great spot located at the bottom of the street.
Would Recommend: Yes

The view is gorgeous! I very much enjoyed a nap in the hammock on the patio - very relaxing! The food was very good and it was nice to have the convenience of a restaurant on site. Only complaints: wish we would have had 120V outlets - none of our converters worked. Also, the hairdryer provided could not be plugged in near a mirror on in the bathroom - this made hair styling difficult.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Dear Guest, Thank you for your response. We are happy to know that you loved our ambiance, food and service. We hope that you will visit our Hotel again in the near future. It was good to have you stay with us. Kind Regards, Lise

Great stay. Couldn´t be better. Only advise: get the entrance road to The Champs done. It's horrible to drive and hard to imagine that its the main entry road to such a nice place.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks M., happy to hear you had a great Champs Experience. Spread the word there where you are ;-) The road? I guess we will have to do it ourselves since the government wasn't willing to do those last 150 yards. Smh. Vriendelijke groeten, Lies en Hans

Our first stay at the Champs was in 2009. We told ourselves that we had to return and so we did. I have been to most all of the Caribbean Islands will say Dominica is by far my favorite. If you like nice people, fresh air, diving, hiking, fascinating history, and incredible local food this is a country you have to visit. Lise and Hans hotel offers terrific accommodations, a delightful local bar, a great restaurant and very nicely appointed, comfortable rooms. The rooms (6 only) each have a semi private balcony that give you a unobstructed view of the ocean. We sat and watched the sunset every night. When you stay at the Champs you are not a guest you are visiting member of the family. On our first visit I was not sure of exactly why I knew I would have to return but now I know why. Staying with Lise and Hans reboots my feelings about humanity. There graciousness as hosts on the not yet ruined island makes me think the human race may still have a chance.
Tips:Lise will make suggestions as to many things you can do. She will arrange for a taxi and she gives you a local cell phone that always keeps you in touch if you need it. Any where you "go to" in Dominica is a experience in and of itself. You can explore the renovated Fort Shirley. Swim in the champagne pool, or go scuba diving that is very good. Lise will arrange a dinner at the Iguana restaurant, which is the definition of local delicious food. A trip to visit Marie at the Indigo art gallery that is in a tree which is a unique experience. If you want a throw back two hundred years walk through the little town of Portsmouth on Sunday morning. Listing to the singing out of churches stirred my soul. Explore and hike the national parks and search for the national bird that is the illusive Jaco or Sisserou parrot (which we saw). Or sit and do nothing and listen to the evening tree frogs.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you so much P.and M., What can we say more than a humble thank you, blush and modestly make a Asian thank-you bow for such nice words and compliments. It was really nice seeing you again and chatting about then and now. We wish you all the very best with the next step in your business and hope that our roads will cross again. Health and Happiness to you. Lise and Hans

I would have liked a much softer/thinner pillow. I thought about asking, but the staff already seemed run off their feet by the student party. Otherwise though, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was lovely.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Dear Guest, Thans a lot for your 4.8 overall score. I'm happy we have given your a good "Champs Experience". Regarding the pillow, we just recently replaced all the pillows because we felt the older ones over time had become too thin ;-) It should not have been any problem to ask for a thinner pillow; we do have them available. Thanks again for being our guest. Kind regards, Lise

Wonderful service, very friendly and generous. It was great to have good food and drinks in such a pretty space. Hard to get to, but worth the trip. Very convenient if you have a car. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Tips:If you decide to eat somewhere else outside of the hotel, The Tomato has good food as well as the restaurant at Cabrits. Picard beach is convenient and beautiful, and snorkeling there was fun and more interesting than you would initially think. Snorkeling in Cabrits is worth it. Indian River was beautiful, but if you are pressed for time, do other things. Rent a car, it's the best way to see the island.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks a lot for your kind words. Agree with your tips on snorkeling.
