Reviews of Jacoway Inn

What a great place to stay! Valina is a great host. It was amazing to stay in a Ti Kai. This building was moved from another area and restored. I read about this by accident in a book called 'Still Standing'.There is no ac, but there is a powerful fan and with the windows open, you get a great through breeze. The garden is fantastic and full of birds: tea/ beer in the garden after a day sightseeing was fab! Lots of things to see nearby with the Portsmouth/ Marigot bus stopping at the bottom of the road. Thanks for a great visit.

Nothing

This is an old cottage in a garden ten minutes walk from central Calibishie. It is full of charm and with attentive and kind hosts. It is very nicely located for exploring the north of Dominicia.

I was at Jacoway Inn because I had to unexpectedly stay in Calibishie an extra night due to illness. It was perfect for that. Gorgeous grounds and view from balcony. Room is large and airy and had everything I needed. I appreciated the noon checkout. And the guava tea helped my stomach! Grateful for the kind hospitality and relaxing stay.

I loved everything about my stay!

Nothing at all

Clean, furnished fit for purpose, decor moderate standard, in good condition; comfortable bed and pillows; reasonably quite (dog barking); lovely outdoor surroundings; garden patio; garden looks well maintained; kitchen equipment readily available and clean. Close to Main Street, which has a ray of restaurants, grocery stores, ATMs and walking distance to other amenities such as Red Rock, Red Rock Cuisine, pointe Baptist beach and the chocolate factory. We did take a short cut! if you’re prepared to be like the locals for a day. Some areas were muddy, slippery and uphill. We were very surprised how close and quick we got there.

The hill to get to the property was steep as described and tiring. However, we knew before hand what we signed up to. It was still a shock and tiring but we didn’t let that spoil our hols. The Shower was a let down but understand it was no fault to the owners. I was brought up in DA so I understood and knew how to adjust. However, my partner he found it first shocking, as well as a nuisance, but we turned a negative to a positive. Unfortunately, it was basin wash for the duration. The toilet due to no water, again we had to fill up bottles from kitchen sink to use to be able to flush. Owner had left a few filled bottles. My recommendation was that it should not be let until fix because the next holiday makers may not be so understandable.

Great place, beautiful area, close to town, nice host!

NO BREAKFAST!!! NO VISA. NO ICE

Website needs updating. No pool. What beach ? Did get ph # for taxi , invaluable.

Great!

The location is very convenient. Close to beautiful beaches and a small town with nice bars and restaurants. The owner has been very flexible with our booking that we changed twice and she was very friendly.

The house has potential it has a big room with a balcony that has a beautiful view especially at night. But overall the place is in need of a good clean and some upgrade in painting etc. The bed was really uncomfortable and it was very hot without airco.

The apartment was great! It was an upper level of a duplex. There were windows on all four sides that I kept open all day and all night. The building is surrounded by trees and bushes and flowers so you almost feel like you’re in the woods. Sitting on the balcony was very pleasant.

Unfortunately, the next-door neighbors have a barking dog that barked on and off throughout the day and the evening. So that almost defeated the purpose of living in this otherwise very pleasant environment away from the main street. One other drawback is that the property does not accept credit cards - only cash. The ATM machine at the airport was not working the day I arrived and so I had to spend a lot of time in the beginning looking for a working ATM.

Nice view and quiet with small kitchenette in the room, friendly and communicative owner

Breakfast is no longer included because ownership recently changed, which we were looking forward to

This place is stunning, very beautiful and relaxing. Carol is a great host, very welcoming and available to help. The breakfasts are delicious. I had a great time.

Nothing.

Location is incredible, close to town but still up in the hill with great views. The host is really kind and makes breakfast in the morning. She made our stay really easy and comfortable and would stay again.

Location was off the beaten path ..... Surrounded by a beautiful garden Breakfast was delicious!!

The room is in a great and beautiful garden. Location was near to visit red rock, number one, Batibou beach, chaudiere pool... Caroll gives good advice to visit other place. She is a beautiful, kind and energic person. A big big up for the Breakfast!! We enjoyed thanks!

Cute little cottage. The host is very thoughtful-two huge bottles of water in the fridge means everything to the exhausted travelers, especially after the boiling lake hike. The breakfast is flawless! We had fresh juice, fresh coffee, toasted bread with butter, cheese omelette, home fries, veggies and fruits. What’s more can you expect? Lastly, the host is very welcoming. Although it is a short stay, we had a great conversation with Carol. She’s such a lovely lady. Wish her the best for her future plans!

There is no AC in the room. However, it is compensated by the fan by the bed, which works surprisingly well for the sleep.

From the moment I arrived, Carol-Anne was amazing. Helpful, friendly, smiling, energetic and made sure I had all my questions answered. Breakfast in the morning was lovely and hit the spot of western breakfast! The setting was lovely as well. The apartment (upper floor) was well provided with towels, soap, kitchen needs, mosquito nets and a lovely view from the balcony!

Beyond the host's control was the road coming up to Jacoway Inn. Care must be taken as there are a few large potholes. The other issue, also beyond the host's control was the Wi-Fi dropping for the day. She did make a phone call to check on the status, and shared with me some times in the island it goes like that.

Visa card was hard to take out of money the owner helped tremendously in lending the taxi cost and me paying her back once I was able to take out cash!

Quiet location in rural Dominica. Not far from the village or the sea. Some quirky items. Great outdoor space. Attentive and helpful host.

Property decor and furnishings are looking a bit tired. Difficult to get a lower temperature at night with just fans, but it is the Caribbean. Several pieces of furniture could do with tightening up/ screwing together.
