Possible it's not quite as nice in the old rooms further from the shore (see other reviews below), but life is great in the big waterfront rooms, and they don't cost very much more. The staff were friendly, outgoing and helpful, top to bottom. Their advice about restaurants and activities was good, and they all seemed genuinely concerned that we... more

The hotel was lovely and a greatly needed vacation from the North part of the island, Portsmouth (where it is like camping). The view was beautiful and the dwellings were nice. It was like a nicely located Holiday Inn. The bed spreads looked like a motel 6, the room upstairs was leaking through our ceiling, and the walls were paper... more

I have to say, my husband and I have just returned from spending best two weeks of our lives at the Fort Young Hotel in Dominica. We decided that we wanted to visit this year and googled the island for hotels. It didn’t take us long to decide on The Forty Young Hotel, restored from a historical fort and centered... more

We (a couple from Germany) had planned to stay at fort young from 16 til 26 May, because the funny experiences we left the hotel 2 days earlier. Let us talk about the things which are normal in the hotel and for the front desk staff: Our arriving day was a Friday. On Fridays it is normal that the fort... more

OK - my husband and I got a really good rate (US$65 per night plus taxes etc), however if I had paid advertised rates I would have been REALLY upset with the room. It was comfy enough, but small, and very noisy. (We had room 523) right above the laundry. throughout the night a fridge or similar would switch on... more

The hotel is in an ideal location for business travelers, but I would not suggest this hotel to friends or family because of the older rooms and rude and dismissive service I received from the staff and management. I stayed at this hotel with my family in late December 2007. The rooms were scary! The oceanview room was old and... more

This is touted as the best hotel in Dominica. While the oceanfront rooms were spacious and had a balcony with a wonderful view, the service was terrible and, often, extremely rude. It takes at least 2-3 calls to get a request filled. They never had enough towels. Usually, we only got 2 bath towels, no bath mats, and no hand... more

We stayed 6 days at the Fort Young Hotel. Our room was on the 1st floor, an ocean view deluxe suite. When the cruise ship docked right in front, we still had views of the ocean. We paid $140/night base + VAT and other taxes. The room was very spacious. The bathroom had tub/shower, large sink and separate large vanity... more

The Fort Young Hotel is the only 4/5 star hotel on the beautiful island of Dominica but unlike other hotels who don't have any competition they do make an effort ! The hotel is situated on the site of the old fort there (hence the name) and is very "colonial",in a fantastic setting with lovely views and lots of stone... more
