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

Thanks a lot for your nice words. And I agree with you for me the pool is also too cold in the winter months. Although some people find it great I think I am spoiled after almost 16 years in Dominica. We have a solar heating system for the pool on our Wishlist.

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!

Thank you for your review. As for the WiFi I am sorry that you had to experience some difficulties. Our provider Digicel is updating their connection and indeed the connection was bad for some days. This is out of our hands. The WiFi we provide is free for our guests but we cannot guarantee 100% connection.

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.

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).

Look no further in Portsmouth!
Everything about my stay at Champs was top-notch. Big, comfy bed and a spacious bathroom made for a great room, and the pool hits the spot after a long, hot day of sightseeing. Also, the view from the restaurant has to be the best in town. Speaking of, the meals were outstanding! Temara, Sabrina, and Tarnita spread the shifts out during the day and all will leave you full and satisfied at meal time. All three are also very helpful with advice, directions, or a friendly chat. Tarnita can whip up tasty, creative cocktails as well. Owner Liz had great communication and will be quick to share a digital guidebook with practical advice and sightseeing tips. She also likes to settle into a fun conversation and is happy to help with plans in person too. She organized airport and onward transportation for me as well, which was clutch with a late flight and moving south on a Sunday when most things are closed and buses don't run. If I'm back in the region, there will only be one place I'll stay!

The view from our room was breathtaking. The food in the restaurant was outstanding. The staff was the best, so warm and welcoming, and the owners went above and beyond to make our stay a wonderful experience. Liese booked tours for us and taxis and gave us the best advice about what to do in this part of Dominica. The hike in the National Park and tour of Free Up Farm was so good. She also helped arrange transport to the airport for us. The chef made a special playlist for our last night at the restaurant and we loved it. I cannot say enough good about this wonderful small hotel. Stay here if you are on Dominica.

A small hotel with the most amazing personal service. Lise and the staff at Champs went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. From the first morning of our stay Lise took the time to find out what we wanted to do and then came up with suggestions and sorted out arrangements for walks, tours and different ways to explore right across the island. The view across the bay from the restaurant and from the rooms is spectacular. And the Champs is known in the town for the quality of the food at the restaurant so we ended up eating in the hotel on a number of evenings. Thoroughly recommend Portsmouth as a quieter alternative to Roseau when looking for a base to discover this beautiful island.

Stayed for 3 nights and was well looked after all the time I was there. The hotel itself is a bit out the way and up a steep hill, however, the owners provided you with a free phone so you could call up and they would come and pick you up if you were in need of a lift. The evening meals varied from night to night and whilst choices were limited all the dishes sampled were very good quality.

My mother and I stayed for a week in December this year and we had a lovely stay. The hotel is located just on the edge of Portsmouth and at the top of a hill which is a good hike if you don’t have a car but does mean have a wonderful view over the harbour in Portsmouth. The rooms are large and very comfortable. We were most impressed with the service of the all the staff and the owners. In particular Lise who went out her way to help us arrange trips and talk to us daily about what excursions we might want to do. Since we were the only guests for half the time the service staff were also extremely attentive making meals to accommodate our specific tastes. We were also invited to join sunset yog on the deck which was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend staying here and you will feel extremely looked after my Lise and her staff ....so much so you will feel part of the family!

I had a great time at The Champs - gracious and accommodating hosts Lise and Hans made sure all of my needs were met, including local transportation, as well as to and from the airport. I went to Dominica for the Jazz Festival, and became one of their "posse" for the main event. All of this while they continue to restore The Champs from the damage incurred from Hurricane Maria last year. Simple but delicious breakfasts and dinners. A small, boutique-type hotel, everyone staying quickly becomes one of the group - especially enjoyable for one travelling alone, but not forced togetherness by any stretch of the imagination. Lovely pool to come back to after a day of wandering about in Roseau (hot work), and the hotel's perch up the hill afforded fabulous views of the area and unforgettable sunsets over the Caribbean.

Couldn't have asked for a better stay!
Of course the accommodations are not equivalent to US 5 star, but in comparison to the area, you could not ask for more. The atmosphere and hospitality was phenomenal. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, we were made to feel like family. The driver, Malcolm, entertained us the entire ride by telling us all about the island. We were greeted at the door by name, given a tour of the hotel while being escorted to our room which was sufficiently comfortable. The view was magnificent. The owners were personally available at any time for any reason from the complimentary shuttle rides to friendly conversations. We ate at as many restaurants and cafes as we had time for, but The Champs restaurant was by far the best. While we were there, they were in the process of installing a swimming pool and updating the rooms. Even more to make this place the best choice. We will choose this place for our next stay on the island.

Nice view of Portsmouth
Was there to do a wedding. Hotel was ok. They dont serve lunch which was not good for us especially the time of year. The community seems to thrive on Ross University there and when they are not open (due to christmas break) everything seems to shut down and so are the restaurants since the students sustain it. So it was an inconvenience for us. The owner Lise is very nice, so are the staff. I guess if you travel any other time when school is in session you should be ok. Oh and hotel gives u a local cell phone while staying there.....it helps.
