Fort Young - Dominica
At the edge of a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Fort Young sits on the original site of a wooden fort built by the French in 1720. You’ll be warmly welcomed at this unpretentious hotel where the emphasis is on good food, comfortable accommodation and providing an ideal location for seeing and experiencing the best of Dominica. Although there’s no beach here, many of the rooms are right on the water and the oceanfront pool has a lovely sundeck where you can relax and soak up the sun.
Airport TransferAn hour’s drive from Douglas-Charles Airport.
LocationOn the waterfront, a couple of minutes’ walk from the centre of Roseau, the capital.
AccommodationThere are 100 air-conditioned rooms and suites which blend old world charm with contemporary style. All rooms include a ceiling fan, a flat screen TV, complimentary WiFi and a private balcony or terrace. Rich in heritage, the intimate Fort Rooms are housed in part of the original fort buildings, set back from the water with views over the resort towards the ocean. Oceanfront Rooms are in the newer wing, at the base of the cliff, with spectacular ocean views. The highly recommended Deluxe Oceanfront Rooms offer more space and are ideal for families, whilst the Oceanfront Suites are larger still and feature a bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and a separate living/dining room.
Restaurants And BarsThe oceanfront Palisades Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a lovely setting overlooking the sea; dinner menus include freshly caught seafood, tantalising Caribbean dishes and international favourites. Warner’s Bar on the waterfront is a popular local venue; it serves a mean rum punch and is the place to be at weekends. There is also a poolside bar and Bala’s lounge bar for evening cocktails as well as drinks and snacks throughout the day.
