Sunset Bay Club

Dominica


This survivor claims to be the first hotel to reopen after Hurricane Maria, and while it's an aging place, it has a lovely setting overlooking a decent beach, plus amenities including an on-site dive center and a good-sized pool and sauna in the back. Rooms are comfortable enough but in no danger of winning any style awards.
