Location. Right on the Caribbean and near to Cabrits Dive Dominica -awesome outfit- super,private cottage with a birds eye view of the sunset. Very comfortable with a lovely porch directly on the beach. Restaurant on site and a quaint tiki bar on the beach south of the cottages. Cash only for the tiki bar.

Loved hearing the waves and being steps from the beach. Friendly staff.

Beach location was great, Easy parking, spacious rooms, hot water for shower.

Great place to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves from your cottage porch or take a swim. Would highly recommend the fish sandwich at the restaurant. Great wifi, clean rooms, fantastic and attentive staff.

This was a FANTASTIC place! You can't beat a cottage 30 ft from the ocean, being able to hear the waves all day and night long. The cottage was well equipped - coffee maker, fridge, sugar, all the utensils you would need. Pick up a few breakfast essentials from the store less than .5 miles away and you can make yourself a gourmet breakfast and enjoy it on your porch. The staff went above and beyond to help us during our stay - from helping us find a place to fix a flat tire to providing restaurant recommendations and coordinating transport. There was nothing they couldn't help us find or solve. The groups are gorgeous! A lot of tropical flowers and trees, and the starfruit tree right next to our cottage had so much fruit on it. More starfruit than we could eat in 4 days!

I LOVED the cottage being right on the water. It was clean and very safe. Air conditioning worked great and made for the most comfortable sleep of our trip. The beach has spoiled me for future beaches....they were clear, refreshing and beautiful!

I didn't have breakfast but the sandwiches we ordered were simply delicious and the cost was so affordable.

Loved the ambiance, the quiet solitude and sounds off the waves crashing. We enjoyed it very much.

Picards Cottages has very helpful and welcoming staff / nothing too much trouble. The sea is literally on the doorstep of the chalets. Lovely to swim when sea sea calm - or to sit and do nothing on the patio! The tiny chalet had everything we needed - aircon, basic kitchen, not far from two minimarts and a couple of restaurants. (recommend Infinity ) And we found a quirky secret hidden bar up the beach that possibly people might miss (turn left as you come out of cottage and walk south along the beach about 200 metres). Portsmouth and Indian river just 10 minutes on the local bus. Just wait on main road until a minivan stops or wave it down - fare is $1 EC - yes one East Caribbean dollar!

Nice cottages, and very friendly staff. Perfect snorkling along the Cliffs toward Secret Bay. Several good snorkling areas. One turtle, and loads of fantastic fish spotted. We did not use the restaurant, but several good restaurants near by and also close by small supermarkets.
