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

A small but lovely hotel in the hills above Portsmouth, with a commanding view of Prince Rupert Bay. The rooms are large, breakfast is fantastic and the staff and owners are incredibly friendly and helpful! Portsmouth is a great place to stay, with restaurants, whale watching, a couple of wine sand beaches to stay, and good beach bars in which to wile the days away. Highly recommend The Champs.

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

Nice quaint hotel. The staff were the best, they were friendly, helpful and make our stay better. The hotel was clean and the view is beautiful. Some of the linen and towels can use some updating. Nice new faucets and sinks in the bathroom but the shower didn’t drain well and the ceiling had a leak in our bathroom. There is a mini fridge and filters water was always available. There was also a kettle and tea bags provided. New television with a lot of available tv stations. The Wi-Fi sucked, and was constantly dropping. It worked well for one day only but the connection dropped frequently. The hotel has a restaurant and the food was really good. The food was Americana and no local food but most days local juices were freshly made. Breakfast was provided daily, the omelettes were great! The hotel has a nice pool however sometimes it may not be available because at times it is rented out for parties. Overall it was good!

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.

If you go to Portsmouth it would be a mistake not to stay here. The owners and staff are so welcoming, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, I’ll be back one day.

Exceptional service and communication from Lise (owner) and her amazing staff. Rooms are spacious and have all the amenities expected for a business / leisure traveler. Breakfast and meal offerings are scrumptious; don't miss out of these! Property is a few minutes away from convenience stores, food establishments, and wonderful beaches (Coconut and Mero Beaches). The unobstructed ocean views from room balcony and restaurant are a must see - sunsets and rainbows are the highlights!
