Finally, We Visited Calibishie

Written by Chris in Reviews 4 Comments →

After so much procrastination, Liuda (veselo.info) and I finally got on a bus and decided to go visit our friends Dan and Ruth Tanner in Calibishie, who are on their usual annual visit to Dominica. But by this time next year Dan and Ruth will be permanent residents of Dominica. Yep! They built a small house in Calibishie and will spend the rest of their baby boom years on this beautiful island.

Calibishie is a small village on the North-East Atlantic side of Dominica, which has developed into one of the more popular tourist base communities on the island. Maybe itâ€™s because of the many breathe taking views and beaches nearby. The village shelters some of finest restaurants, local souvenir shops and lodging accommodations like Calibishie Lodges.

As soon as we arrived at Calibishie Dan and Ruth took us took us to one of the nearby beaches on Pointe Baptiste. Itâ€™s so beautiful there. Take a look!

Now I understand why Dan and his wife Ruth made Calibishie their choice to spend their remaining years. The Tanners are not the only Americans who have expatriated from the U.S and made Dominica their new home. There are also fellow bloggers like Jennifer and her husband (Mr. Wizard) of living Dominica and Paul of Living Island. There is just something magical about this island that makes you always wanting to come back. Here is a open invitationâ€¦come experience Dominica for yourself 🙂

Extreme Dominica Adventure Tours

Written by Chris in Videos 1 Comment →

I donâ€™t need to say anything much about Extreme Dominica Adventure Tours. The title â€œExtreme Dominicaâ€ says it all, but just for those persons who donâ€™t have a clue when I say extreme Dominica adventure. Extreme Dominica has some of the greatest adventures that the Dominica has to offer. I’m talking about Island flights, Hiking, Canyoning and Scuba diving. You know just watch video and ask yourself is Dominica where you want to be?.(No! this is not a Visa Commercial) 🙂 Enjoy the Video.

Here is the link to the video:Extreme Dominica

My apologies, I wasn’t able to embed the video into Dominica weekly as usual, but nevertheless the video is great and is worth checking out.

Itâ€™s no surprise that Beau Rive is ranked the #1 hotel by TripAdvisor Travelers. Mark Steele, the proprietor of Beau Rive have transform this old Plantation home into one of the most intimate and relaxing hotel experience in Dominica.

Based on 60 reviews worldwide the traveler overall rating for Beau rive is 5.0, the highest TripAdvisor rating.

Escape for real? We hope you will – not only from your own environment but from the increasingly standardized and familiar face of tourism. As many hotels become indistinguishable from one another our aim is to be distinctly different. The philosophy is a rather simple and old-fashioned one: you will be treated as our guest and we shall do everything we can to make you comfortable.

Here are some of the candid photos posted up on TripAdvisor website by the Travelers. After watching these photos, it was clear that visiting Beau Rive is a must on my to do list. Enjoy the photos.
