Ditto to all the other reviews. We had a wonderful time at Villa Vista! It is the perfect place to use as a base of operation. We appreciated the availability of WIFI and smart TV when needed, although the best entertainment was that incredible view, pool, and hot tub. It was a great place to wake up and come home to!
Chris and his wife are wonderful hosts - responsive to all questions and good with advice as needed.
We love Calibishie, having stayed in this area 10 years ago. The A and A market is convenient and offers enough staples until you can get to the city. We enjoyed Blackbeard's Dairy with a tour from Lauren. All the goat milk products we bought were delicious! We also recommend Pointe-Baptiste Estates' chocolate. We enjoyed two meals at Poz - wonderful food, fun location, and good service (you need a reservation now due to Covid).
Beyond Calibishie, we loved snorkeling with PH Whaling and canyoning with Extreme Dominica (be warned, it requires fitness and bravery), as well as our trips on our own with our rental car from Happy Car rentals. We had a special day with Jenner Robinson, who in addition to owning Happy Car rentals, provides great guided tours. We used him when we were here 10 years ago and enjoyed our time with him again. Growing up there, he knows the area well and shares lots of great stories about the island and its culture. He is also a great driver, which is much appreciated at on the curvy narrow roads.
It was always great to come home to the comfort and beauty of Villa Vista. You won't regret staying here! We miss it already!
