Crescent Moon Cabins Dominica

Of course Dominica is a Volcanic Rainforest Wonderland. But the Crescent Moon Cabins seem to be at the vortex of all this magic. Ron and Jean have created an oasis of organic delights and all those who enter are forever changed. The other vistors who have been affected by this spell have already used many words to describe how amazing this place is, but words are not up to the task. The only way you will ever understand the warmth and happiness of the Crescent Moon experience is to be there.

We stayed at Crescent Moon for four nights and were completely satisfied with our experience. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a tranquil, friendly setting in the heart of rustic Dominica. It is exactly what their web site offers. If you are looking for luxury and impersonal "service" go elsewhere. The food was great and the hosts were exceptional.

We felt completely comfortable and at home.

We would go back in a minute and plan to as soon as possible.

A visit to Crescent Moon Cabins is mandatory to Continentals as well as city islanders that want to learn the essentials of living in a tropical island. Ron, Jean and Tiana have mastered island living and are willing to share it with guests staying at the cabins.

The cabins are simple, confortable and relaxing. Each has a balcony and hammock with view to the garden were most of the food served is grown. Here you can enjoy the sunrise while your host is in the garden picking up the fruits and vegetables that will be used shortly on your breakfast and meals each day.

Looking forward to another visit with our child to show him the animals and all the small natural wonders that abound in this place.

A narrow mountain road takes you to the "hidden valley" in which Crescent Moon Cabins resides. The ride is rough, but a travel into paradise is not supposed to be easy.

A fresh arrangement of local flowers greets you as you enter the airy and inviting cabins (there are 4). The lodging is elegant in its simplicity. Two comfortable beds and a hammock on the balcony provide plenty of places to rest after your travels. Fragrant handmade soap is provided for your use in the clean and functional bathroom.

Your balcony provides a breathtaking view of the foliage below and of the azure carribean sea in the distance. At night, the vista becomes one of countless stars, complimented by a symphony performed by the many creatures that live in the forest below and around you.

Meal times at Crescent Moon remind you that wholesome and healthful foods can also be quite delectable. The abundance of fruits and vegetables, organically grown all around you, provide chef Ron with a palate of flavors that are always fresh. The goats and chickens provide Jean with the ingredients to make fresh bread every day. Seafood afficionados will delight in the variety of fresh fish that the sea below provides. Julius' farm, further down into the valley, grows the beans that Ron will roast and grind to serve you fresh coffee every morning.

While one could be quite content resting on their balcony and dining the day away, most will wish to venture out. For those people, Tiana is a willing and patient guide. Eager to share the beauty of the island that she calls home, she guides you through the forest to spectacular waterfalls. On your return, a spring water-filled hot tub awaits to soothe your aching muscles.

A trip to Crescent Moon reminds you how joyful life is when you escape the distractions of the outside world. Those seeking tranquility and those seeking adventure will be equally delighted by a stay at Crescent Moon.

A pleasant and relaxing stop on our visit to Donminica, Ron, Jean and Tiana were wonderful. Their outstanding food and rum punches were truly one of the highlites of our trip. The view of the valley below is heavenly. The natural surroundings capture perfectly the essence of the island, and the hospitality of the family is more than outstanding. The tour of the garden and surrounding area was fantastic. Paradise.

Crescent Moon Cabins is paradise on paradise! Ron, Jean and Tiana made us feel like part of the family, yet spoiled us with fabulous cooking and mouth-watering rum punches. The cabins are rustic but wonderful, the food so good you won't want to eat anywhere else...Crescent Moon is kid friendly, too - our children (ages 9 and 12) loved it so much they want to return to "the best vacation ever." I'm torn between trying to keep Crescent Moon our own little secret and helping the owners make the cabins into the success they so clearly deserve ...the latter won. There is no better place to stay on Dominica.

Crescent Moon is the best place I have ever stayed. My wife and I just returned from our 2nd visit to Dominica and this time we stayed in the north, the south, and in the rainforest at Crescent Moon. It was the most beautiful place to stay. Their homegrown food is the freshest I have ever eaten. Their cooking is the best this vegetarian has ever eaten. Their surroundings and their friends are amongst the best on the island. I can not wait to go back and listen to the frogs, lizards, bats, birds, insects... and to hike the beautiful surroundings again soon. Its worth every dime and then some! I already miss Jean, Ron, and Tiana so much. If I do not go back until another 5 years have gone by I will probably go nuts! Ron's coffee takes about 2 weeks to withdraw from and his wife and daughter are beautiful people and wonderful hosts. Please go there and support them, but please spend more time right around their property than we did. We were too busy with plans to take it all in. The only drawback, though its fun too, is the road is a scare the first time down it. But then you are glad for it because you won't want other people to randomly find 'your' paradise! Enjoy it if you are cool enough to deserve Crescent Moon!!

Crescent Moon Cabins surpassed all of our expectations. We just returned from a week's stay. Originally, we thought we would eat our dinners at other restaurants, but the cooking was so amazing and the ingredients so incredibly fresh, nothing could have come close. The hosts, Jean, Ron and Tiana are so genuinely nice and interesting, it was like staying with friends. The setting is also idyllic - tucked away in Hidden Valley, a lush, tropical rainforest with a beautiful view of the Caribbean. Fruit trees and beautiful birds abound. The cabins are very clean and comfortable and have a lovely open deck overlooking the valley and the sea. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Friendly natural hosts, incredible setting, comfortable accomodations and fabulous cooking by a gourmet chef! What more could you ask?

We went to Dominica for our honeymoon expecting to "rough it" in the forest cabins but found the accomodations to be a home away from home.

Ron and Jean were informative and catered to our every need. The location was secluded but close to all of the good hiking spots. With their help we were able to plan our day trips efficiently and were warmly received for luscious dinners in the evenings. It was a perfcet way to begin our journey together and would recommend it to anyone looking for a honeymoon with no disappointments!
