What a wonderful hotel:a serene and beautiful retreat which is gently elegant yet comfortable and welcoming. The location is superb as are the views down through the fragrant gardens.The food is wonderful and nothing is too much trouble for Mark Steele and his staff.Mark's two super dogs complete the picture.I was there for 5 days last year,14 days this year and will be there again next year,which says it all, I think.

Beautiful setting, beautiful place. We felt like we were stepping back in time. The owner, Mark, told us that he designed Beau Rive to feel like an old colonial home.

We highly recommend splurging at least once on the hotel's 3-course nightly dinner. The ingredients are the freshest they can be and I don't think we've had a better meal anywhere. The coffee and fresh baking in the morning are wonderful, too.

When my husband & I travel, we always miss our animals. Mark's dogs and cat made us feel right at home! Especially the dog, Florence, who didn't leave our side the entire time. Although we really enjoyed their company, if you don't like animals, Mark is very conscious of keeping them from "bothering" guests.

The view to the Atlantic was awe-inspiring! After travelling for two weeks, this place was exactly what we needed for relaxation and romance.

Beau Rive lives up to to its rave reviews. If there is a better view from any hotel in Dominica I haven't seen it. Mark Steele is a perfect host and has a terrific staff. The food is local and fabulous. Millicent and Florence (the dogs) do guide you to the beach. Rooms are spacious and cooled by the trade winds. This is a hotel to remember and should not be missed if you plan on visiting the rugged and beautiful windward side of the island.

Mark provides an elegant, simple environment to enjoy Dominica's amazing natural beauty. Missing dinner is simply a sin. Most ingredients come from the garden, and every meal is a culinary experience.

Mark goes out of his way to direct his guests to fun filled challenging adventures. My wife and I are coming back!
