Red Rock Haven.... PARADISE!!

RED ROCK.... The view from my chair :)


The girls and I decided to have a girls day since the boys are studying for the last exam. We went last Thursday and spent the day at RedRock. I couldn't have asked for anything more. This place was unbelievable. It is on the Atlantic Ocean side of the island so the water was a bit more rough and had quite the undertow... you have to understand, the Caribbean ocean doesn't have an pull to it at all... very calm. The are huge red rocks (hence the name) all over so you have to be careful when you swim. Off in the distance there are two HUGE rocks that are side by side and have an arch that is half underwater, this is what the locals call the gates of hell. You can swim through the arch but it is too far from the shore.


The trip to RedRock is only about 30 minutes but the roads are so twisty and curvy it can be a bad experience motion sickness wise. Most of us were okay that day due to our trusty Dramamine. When we arrived, we all sat on the beach for a few hours then grabbed lunch at the escape bar. The bar is a restaurant and bar all outside. (this is where we went for Sarah's bday dinner) We had some drinks on the beach and swam and just totally relaxed all day. It really was a great day.

The owners of Red Rock are from the Seattle area. This is a hotel that you can stay in when coming to Dominica. Gina,the owner, showed us around the property. When i saw the two bedroom villa, I realized my house is going to be just like it. I seriously could move there and never leave. You would have to come see me because I really wouldn't leave. The shower has a door and you step down into a hot pool. There is a HUGE patio with hammocks that overlook the ocean and the pool. There is a wade pool that has seats along the edge. Gina is building her website, I can't wait for you to see it!


Here are some pictures.... You have to come see for yourself!!!
