The emerald pool is a definite do-not-miss. Most natives know where it is. It will feel cool at first but it takes only 2-3 minutes to get used to it. The water in the pool feels very pure and soft against your skin.

Restaurants are as diverse and unique. They offer a vast array of mouth-watering culinary delights that will satisfy even the most discriminating pallet. These restaurants offer a wide range of international selections, including succulant Creole cuisine, blending and reflecting our island's Carib Indian, African, French and Oriental influence. Your menu choices may include beef, goat, fish, and chicken, as well as a variety of savory soups and salads. Vegetarian entrees are also widely available. You may also want to try some tasty local favorites such as "San Coche" (saltfish boiled in coconut milk) served with dumplings and green bananas and "Callaloo" soup, which tastes like spinach and is sometimes flavored with crab meat. (Callaloo is made from the leaves of the dasheen plant.)

Roseau , Hotels:
9/10

There are no world famous hotel chains in the city. The most famous hotel is the Fort Young Hotel. In addition there are several small family owned establishments within and on the outskirts of the city.

Roseau , Safety:
9/10

Dominica is one of the safest places to travel in the region. There are no poisonous snakes or insects in Dominica. Tap water is safe to drink, but since it is sometimes drawn straight from Dominica's many rivers, it has a tendency to turn brown after heavy rainfall. It's better to drink the bottled water available almost anywhere.
