"Jungle Bay Adventure/Spa Travel"
GracieCapeCod
April 6, 2008
We just returned from a week at Jungle Bay Resort and Spa in Dominicia. If you like a remote, ecologically-friendly, non-touristy type of getaway this is a place to seriously consider. If you like to be active i.e. going on adventure day hikes, snorkeling/kayaking, and swimming in hot springs within the Caribbean rainforest, these are the activities you can look forward to when visiting Jungle Bay.
We stayed in the most remote cottage available, a hike that included 200 steps to get to, but was well worth the privacy, ocean breeze, and situated high up in the treetops. Our cottage was rustic yet comfortable and included a balcony with a hammock. The food was fantastic; most items were locally grown, no red meat on the menu and geared towards being healthy and flavorful.
We started our day with a 7:30 am yoga class led by one of the owners which was definately worth it. They offered a variety of activities throughout the week, the food menu changed daily, and the vibe was casual and relaxed. The Spa treatments were extraordinary. The services were top-notch; the staff was professional and friendly. The treatment rooms overlook the ocean and made for a once-in-life-time experience. I would highly recommend this property! |
