Check-In is at 3pm and Check-Out is at 11am. We will do our best to accommodate early arrivals and late departures.

All villas have Wi-Fi access and cellphone coverage. Cellphone coverage across Dominica is generally good, but we hope you might be dissuaded from taking your phone to the beach!

Yes, the water is safe to drink and meets World Health Organisation Standards. It comes straight from the Picard River which flows down from Morne Diablotins and this water supplies the entire city of Portsmouth. We have also eliminated all single-use plastic bottles by introducing reusable borosilicate glass bottles for guests with an under-sink Culligan water filtration system in each villa.

Secret Bay is perched on top of a cliff and benefits from cooling sea breezes so we are not too troubled by mosquitoes. There is a short spell at sunset when some sand flies make a brief appearance as a gentle reminder that you are surrounded by nature in all its glory – but repellent keeps them at bay and they don’t stick around for long. All the properties are fitted with anti-mosquito screens.

If you are planning on hiking in the rainforest it would be a good idea to bring repellent and to wear long trousers.

There is no dress code at Secret Bay – in your private and secluded villa, we want you to feel at home. The weather is warm all year round with a slight breeze at night. Dominicans generally dress casually and informally but do enjoy dressing up for special occasions. Comfortable summer clothes are suitable with a light sweater for the evening. If you are planning on hiking you will need proper hiking shoes and long trousers. And don’t forget your swimsuits and sunscreen!

Enjoy an al fresco dinner on your open-air villa deck to the tune of a one-man Jazz concert or indulge in an unforgettable meal at Secret Bay’s Zing Zing restaurant, where Executive Chef Fabio Fernandes offers a “no menu” dining experience set to jaw-dropping views of Tibay Beach. If you’re in the mood for exploring, head to a Dominican rum shop to soak up some local culture or go check out the music scene in one of the quaint bars in Roseau. Otherwise, relax beneath a star-filled sky from your private plunge pool and listen to the enchanting noises of the forest from the comfort of your villa nestled in the trees. All villas are also equipped with books, games, cable television, Wi-Fi and audiovisual system.

Yes—Secret Bay is home to Zing Zing restaurant, offering locally-sourced fare with a “no menu” dining experience set to jaw-dropping views of Tibay Beach.

Our concierge will reserve your table at Zing Zing and can also help you find a restaurant in the area that suits your taste and make a reservation.
