“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2007
2
people found this review helpful

As mentioned before, the only ocean view is from the far corner of the garden (and, I presume, the owners' accommodation). The overall cleanliness was actually quite good, but the bathroom smelled very unpleasant. Some of the crockery and kitchenware was well past its "discard-by" date, a common issue in rental apartments! The owners were pleasant, offering fresh fruit and juice, but overall it's hard to recommend this place.

“Buyer Beware-Oceanview Has Potential But Needs Cleaning”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2004

We loved Scott's Head! We would definitely go back and stay again - just definitely NOT at Oceanview. Just to qualify this review - we are definitely not the type to complain about things and prefer our travels to be a little rough around the edges. However, what is going on a Oceanview is unfortunate for a would be great location to stay in beautiful Scott's Head.

I regret that I am unable to recommend Oceanview to anyone. I have stayed in dirt floor - sheet metal roof - cabins that were cleaner. The goat urine smell (from the goats penned up outside your room), roach parts, dirty mildewy kitchen appliances, dust, and grime everywhere simply reflects a lack of care. The used cotton swabs with ear wax on them in the bathroom "rinse cup" was the end of it for us. Though we paid for a week - we got fed up and moved up to a nice hotel in Roseau as did a British couple who had the same experience we did. If we were paying $12 U.S. per night for Oceanview we might have been a little less disappointed. But to pay $60 U.S. for filth was un-excusable. While the hosts are nice - our advice - stay clear of Oceanview. There is only a small ocean view from a bench and the dense gardens around the rooms prevent ventillation but provide great habitat for mosquitos - which somehow out smarted our mosquito netting the 3 nights we endured.

Besides cleanning - Oceanview would do better to forgo the gardens and open the rooms to more ventilation and create a real ocean view. We didn't bother attempting a refund and should have known better than to pay the full amount with a money order before arriving.

I would like to say Dominica is GREAT - we would go back in a minute! The other places we stayed at in Dominica were the clean and comfortable!
