CASTLE BRUCE – Beau Rive Hotel

Description

A one in a million deal to consider owning this 5 stars TripAdvisor acclaimed property in this lovely paradise called Dominica. Over the last 14 years, visitors both locals and foreigners enjoyed the privacy and heartwarming atmosphere.

The main house at Beau Rive was completed in June 2003 and sits amid 3 acres of lush, undeveloped hillside, 250 feet above the Atlantic coast and 40 minutes drive south of Douglas-Charles airport. The setting is secluded with mature gardens and forest leading down to the Richmond River, being the lowermost boundary.

Although, a steel-framed construction, the style and design were based on traditional Caribbean plantation houses so the feel of the property is more that of a large house, than a hotel. The concept, to create an intimate and rather old-fashioned ambiance offering comfortable accommodation in a peaceful and pristine environment. All guestrooms face the ocean and benefit from the same generous dimensions, high ceilings, jalousie shutters and verandas. Public rooms included a lounge, library and upstairs, a bar, dining room and outdoor dining terrace.

During the subsequent fourteen years as more rooms were added in cottages, Beau Rive became a favorite destination for many new and repeat visitors, as well as journalists and travel writers. The stellar reputation achieved was consistent, with 98 percent of its reviews on TripAdvisor rated as “excellent”, 1 percent as “very good” and 1 percent “Average”.

There is a total of 9 guestrooms with private shower, 2 reception rooms, entrance hall, cloakroom, office, laundry, staff room, cottage bedside the pool containing 2 guestrooms each with a private shower.

DAMAGE FROM HURRICANE MARIA:

The hotel suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Maria in 2017, but the steel frame structure of the main house remains in sound condition and as new. However, there is water damage to sections of the interior requiring the replacement of drywall (sheetrock) This has since been replaced.

The cottage beside the pool containing 2 guestrooms is undamaged.

Because of the property’s design, it could easily be reappointed as a private dwelling in various configurations including staff accommodation and an additional guest cottage.
