I didn't find the food all that tasty in dominica.. in fact it occurs to me most add hot sauce to their liking... making it a personal preference.

I do remember buying the most flavourful fresh squeezed juice at scotts head, just before walking down to the rocky beach... but that doesn't answer your question either.

as for a place to stay... it's a very quiet place at night. most locals mentioned staying at a higher elevation which was cooler and easier to sleep (referring to Roseau often). if I were to do it again, I would select the guesthouses with the sulfur baths near roseau. at least I could bathe and daydream at night, listening to the crickets and let the world revolve around me.

if you are there during wet fete.. then of course you want to be closest to Roseau and the stadium as possible. the events start around midnight.

when we were there we stayed in someone's ground floor apt. so I can't help in that perspective.

I suggest you contact my favourite tour guide and ask him the same questions. he responded to me at all hours of the night (his time). he is all about customer service...he came to sxm to convince us to visit dom.. so we did. lolol

his name is Donaldson Maguire from nature isle tours. he's on tripadvisor and gets TOP rating.

he will be happy to assist in any and all matters.

enjoy. you will be rejuvenated upon your return.

ps bring warm clothes. we almost froze due to elevation, short downpours and dampness. so wish I had my winter jammies. lolol
