Tennis Tennis isn t big on Dominica, but you ll find courts syr parking at Reigate Hall, 767-448-4031, www.avirtualdominica.com/reigate.htm, and Castaways Beach Hotel 767-449-6245, www.castawaysdominica. com. There s a user fee for non-guests, and you must supply your own equipment.
Airfares and hotel rates are at their peak from December through mid- April, with Christmas, winter break, spring break, and Easter weeks topping out at more than double summer prices. If you want to escape miserable weather in your hometown, consider scheduling your Caribbean holiday after New Year s Day and before the start of school children s winter break. The crowds will be sparser and the prices a bit lower.
All rooms are air conditioned and have ceiling fans and king-size four-poster beds. If you choose a standard room (called superior), ask to be on the top floor so you can see the water. These rooms are relatively small, but they all have a balcony or patio. The upper-category rooms are larger with good views of the sea, and the suites are exquisitely decorated with special amorous touches. There are no TVs on the property, but no one ever notices.
As you dive deeper, the reef drops quickly from 20 to 140 feet in a solid wall of mixed corals surrounded by schools of fish, crabs, lobsters and eels. At around 100 feet, layers of porcelain-like plate coral are stacked one on top of another. The massive coral reef continues all the way to the bay at Soufri re, in water that habitually offers syr parking 80 to 100 feet of visibility.
