Every year i have chosen Jungle Bay for Serendipity Traveler's Women's Wellness Week.
The lodge is situated on the rugged south coast of Dominica and provides a luscious setting
to unwind and explore the island. The staff at Jungle Bay are exceptional. The kitchen staff prepares healthful meals incorporating authentic recipes with the freshest ingredients.The guides are personable and brimming with local knowledge and make the expeditions fun and memorable. The spa is an added plus as is the optional yoga program each morning.
Dominica is a place apart and Jungle Bay offers a comfortably rustic perch from which to
explore the pristine beauty that surrounds you.

We actually spent a week here in January 2011. This was an adventure vacation, and not the place to sunbathe. It was all we were looking for. The Jungle resort was beautiful, private and very relaxing. The cottages are very nice, and the outdoor enclosed shower is great. The volcanic pool is small but all that you need. The shoreline is not beach, good for a stroll, but not swimming. The restaurant is nice, quiet, quaint with wholesome organic food - not gourmet but very good and prepared by tradition of Dominica. Service is great.

Yoga in the morning was fun, and late night entertainment was filled with ping-pong, TV in the main building, internet if you wish, and pool. Also, you could relax in your cottage and listen to the ocean and nature.

It's hard to put into words, but the staff (esp. Carlos) became good friends in only a week. We did 2 tours per day (all included), and they will make the vacation whatever you want it to be. Attractions like waterfall hikes, nature hikes, snorkelling, swimming, countryside tours, swimming in the mountain rivers or hot springs - it is limitless. All in groups of 4-10 people with 2 guides. I can't recall a moment of boredom. I loved eating from the land as we hiked our excursions. Dominica is truly a special place, and Jungle Bay is the place where you want to stay - I will be back. My wife and kids would agree, I hope you can sometime experience what we did!

sprawled on a swinging sun-sprayed hammock hung from a stilted bungalow listening to the atlantic crash against the volcanic rocks is about as close to heaven as dominca can take you. but if you have time (and an adventurous heart), make this your second stop. the portsmouth area is less tame and has far more stories to tell. nothing like traveling on the wild side followed by a little luxe. and this beautiful spot does the job.

I spent a week at Jungle Bay in Dominica and did their all inclusive package. They run a nice program with yoga, all meals included and excursions that you can pick and choose from. Dominica has some of the best and amazing hiking I have ever seen and the staff at Jungle Bay who accompany you on excursions are knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. I did the all day hike to the volcanic boiling lake with Brother, which was spiritual and amazing. I never knew I was capable of climbing 7000 steps to the top. I would highly recommend that hike and snorkeling at champagne beach.

The food was light, healthy and very good. Be sure to enjoy the local cocoa tea and any of the desserts. The coconut tart with peanut ice cream were my favorites.

My primary complaint is that the crickets at night and roar of the ocean nearby are incredibly loud. The cottages are comfortable and rustic but they are not fully enclosed so you can hear everything outside. I literally did not sleep for 5 nights. If you can sleep with noise though and want a healthy get away I would recommend the trip.
