This Caribbean Hotel Guarantees a Sea Turtle Encounter

By: - April 19th, 2016

It’s a one-of-a-kind experience: seeing a sea turtle nesting or hatching.

And one hotel in Dominica actually guarantees you’ll see it happen.

The Rosalie Bay Resort is offering what it’s billing as the World’s Only Guaranteed Sea Turtle Experience, guaranteeing that guests will witness either a sea turtle nesting, hatching or both.

Sea turtle season in Dominica spans from March through October, with hundreds of baby sea turtles expected to hatch at the hotel in June alone.

Guests on the Turtle Guarantee are automatically signed up for the resort’s nesting/hatching alerts.

Rates start at $175 per night.
