I absolutely loved staying here. First time leaving US and I'm glad I picked this place. Girls are ao friendly and helpful.
Casey James, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, the hotel was lovely. Incredible view. Friendly staff. The food was amazing. Rooms were clean. Pool area was very nice. However, this place had many children - families from Europe. Most used the pool during the day and were extremely loud. And then during the evening dining experience, since it wasn't a large place, the children were loud during dinner. The loudness became a theme of the stay. For a solo traveler, this was a bit annoying. If you aren't going to be around during the day and have your own transportation, this place is great. I did walk down to a local restaurant and to the beach - it was super quiet. The walk back up the hill is steep but not that bad.

Little gem in Portsmouth, with ocean views and good food. By Caribbean standards, it would be 10/10 rating. Room is big, matresses OK, staff super friendly and helpful. Would stay again.
Monika, 3-night trip

Perfect place to go to Portsmouth. The staff and owners are so incredibly accommodating and nice. They really made our stay the best! It also had a personal touch without feeling forced. I’m also delighted to see a place honour the VIP Access benefits for Gold Members. The upgrade was incredible, and the wine selection came with options. Thank you for having us, it was a wonderful stay!

The champs had a spectacular view that you must eat or stay at to view Portsmouth. The chef and hotel staff were all nice and helpful. Able to get us taxi when needed and arrived to get us to and from our destination.

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet and comfortable atmosphere. Great view of the sea and mountains. Tamara (staff) was incredibly warm, helpful and welcoming. She ensured I had everything that I needed. The room was huge, clean and cozy and well maintained. I appreciated the peaceful surroundings. Hotel Champs is an excellent choice for travelers seeking an affordable, quiet stay. I highly recommend it!

Great Last Minute Discovery

Very authentic Dominican experience. Small boutique hotel with friendly staff. Would have loved to see fresh colorful paint to have the exterior and interior match the wonderful, clean and friendly environment we've experienced. Would definitely come back again

Pleasant stay

Good and pleasant small hotel. Very friendly staff, good breakfast, nice swimming pool, reasonably good restaurant, great sunset view from the little terrace in front of my room. My WiFi worked perfectly, as did the AC and fridge. Did not try the tv. Shower and towels may need an upgrade in some years.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the location and views over the sea. The owners and their staff were all wonderful. So friendly and kind. It felt like chatting friends. We ate there every evening as every meal we had was excellent and very delicious. Breakfasts everyday were very good with a nice choice of eggs. The pool is small but perfectly adequate for a swim and cool down. The decking area and sunloungers around the pool were lovely. I had a nice day flopping there. The pool water was quite cold though. We would look to staying here again, should we return to Dominica as we enjoyed it so much
Amanda, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a place! This small property only has 5 rooms, all with hammocks and balcony space overlooking the sea. Wifi and A/C worked great throughout my stay (though I didn't need to use the a/c very often). Delicious free breakfast and other meals available on request, with menus changed daily based on culinary inclinations of chefs. Special shout out to Tammy and Sabrina for the tender loving care infused in all their delicious meals! Picard beach and several eating options are about a 15 minute walk, though note, the property is high up a steep hill, so not recommended for walking if you're not particularly in shape nor if lugging heavy luggage. Overall, a fantastic stay.

Short Visit

I enjoyed my stay at The Champs, particularly from Room 2 with amazing views of the sea, town and beautiful sunsets. The staff were incredible, always checking up on you. Hosts, particularly Lise, were very friendly and helpful in proposing island tours, reserving taxis etc. It felt very homely and comfortable. The cuisine was more western but local fish available and the hearty cooked breakfast was enough to keep me going all day, as was their delicious pizzas. As others have noted, hotel is situated at the top of a very steep hill - walk up and down once is sufficient. Local taxis are very cheap are as local mini buses (one kind driver brought me uphill to The Champs). This side of the island has more black sand volcanic beaches which I didn't like very much so would go to the other side next time for the beautiful white sands. Fort Shirley is worth exploring and stop at the Purple Turtle Beach Club for amazing views by the sea. There is also an indigenous region worth visiting and Dominica has 365 rivers and endless waterfalls to explore. I loved my short visit and hope to return, perhaps take the ferry to Guadeloupe.
