• Maida - January 2011
  Hi!
  How are you all???? I had to tell you what a wonderful time we experienced staying with you at Comfortel. Your generosity of time and spirit were unbelievable. How you go on day after day with all the different personalities you encounter – all the challenges you face running a business on the island – how you do what you do and remain kind, thoughtful and sane is amazing! Your presence on that island is a gift to all who are fortunate enough to experience it.
  I will keep you posted as to when we will be coming down again.
  My Love & Hugs to you and everyone there.
  Maida 
  
  
• Amy, Harvey, Jessica and Kim - January 2011
  Dear Lise and Hans,
  Just wanted to thank you both for your wonderful hospitality and advice during our stay at Comfortel De Champ.
  Your hotel was a breath of fresh air with all the comforts of home in the Caribbean. Annie is a wonderful cook and the views from the hill were spectacular!
  We will certainly see you in April 2012 upon our return to Dominica. Please have our room ready upstairs this time!
  Thanks again and if you are ever in New York we would love to return the hospitality to you and Hans.
  Fondly,
  Amy, Harvey, Jessica and Kim

  Dear Hans and Lies,
  I'm back in New York City, and just wanted to drop you a note to once again say what a fabulous time I had at De Champ - it was without a doubt the best place I stayed during my visit to Dominica.  Also Hans, thanks again for driving me to Cabrits and for helping with the rental car. 
  If anyone I know ever takes a trip to Dominica in the future, I'll be sure to recommend De Champ.
  Cheers, Brian
  P.S. Happy New Year!

• Jan Koens - April 2009
  Hoi Lies en Hans,
  De vakantie zit er weer op. We hebben een erg leuke en mooie vakantie gehad. Een mooie tijd om op terug te kijken.
  We willen jullie toch nog een keertje extra bedanken voor jullie gastvrijheid. We voelden ons onmiddelijk thuis bij jullie. Als er mensen zijn die de echte betekenis van het woord gastvrijheid kennen dan zijn jullie dat wel!
  Nogmaals bedankt en we zullen jullie site regelmatig blijven bekijken zodat we een beetje op de hoogte blijven hoe het met jullie gaat.
  Wie weet komen we ooit nog eens terug naar Dominica, er is nog genoeg te zien.
  Groetjes
  Jan, Esther, Roel en Mark

• Wim & Dorethy - March 2009
  Lieve Hans en Lies,
  Wat een fantastisch eiland, wat een heerlijk hotel, wat een schitterend uitzicht en over het weer niets dan goeds. Zelfs de muggen vielen mee.
  Jullie begrijpen dat wij zeer zeker terugkomen om bij te houden hoe het jullie vergaat. We hebben intens genoten en willen jullie daarvoor heel hartelijk danken.
  We hebben de week ervaren als een echt familiebezoek. Ondanks de drukke werkzaamheden die het hotel en de bar met zich mee brengen, hebben jullie tijd gevonden om ons Dominica te laten zien. Een eiland om verliefd op te worden. We kunnen iedereen de reis, die niet mis is, aanraden. Het is de moeite waard.
  Het was voor ons erg gezellig om samen met je ouders deze reis te ondernemen. Onvoorstelbaar zoals deze vrolijke, enthousiaste mensen alles hebben mee mogen maken. We doen dit graag een volgende keer weer.
  Lies en Hans, heel veel succes en we komen terug, dat hebben we beloofd.
  Wim en Doortje
  
  
  
• Sue & Mike - February 2009
  Dear Lies & Hans,
  Thank you so much for sending this short video. It was so lovely to be reminded of a really special evening – Mike and my first evening in Dominica and how fitting it should be on Valentines Day because we really did fall in love with the island.
  We both want to thank you very much for your hospitality, you were truly fantastic, not just for your great hotel and magnificent breakfasts but for your stoicism on the constant drive up and down that hill – I hope the finance has at last been approved and you can get a bit of tarmac down in time for our next visit.
  Please pass on our thanks and best wishes to Ike (the best of rum punches) and Lindsay (for more enthusiasm than one person should have). We had a brilliant time and that was largely down to you, your staff and Cabrits Dive Centre – what a great bunch of people.
  Thanks again, I will keep in touch and will recommend you to any likely visitor to Dominica.
  Lots of love,
  Sue & Mike xxxx
  
  
• Vernon - October 2008
  This is a our second trip to Dominica.
  
  On our repeat visit to Portsmouth ,we stayed at a new B&B/Guesthouse named Comfortel de Champ - owned by an ex-pat Dutch couple we met diving last year. Great facility with a killer view of Portsmouth harbor. Air con,ceiling fans, well stocked refrigerator, great new bathroom, great cooked to order breakfast, "eco friendly" operation, great Spanish wines by the glass and friendly Dominica knowledgable hosts. They have chosen to live here, traveled as tourists in the country, and it shows they love their newly adopted country. They are presently completing a new bar and hot tub as an extra addition for their guests.
  
  Last visit was in November - we went this time in early October. It is the rainy season and one day we chose not to dive because of storms including storm including lightening. It rains in buckets. I guess it's the reason this island is so incredibly green. Lunch and dinner are on your own. We had the best and cheapest meal at "Iguana" a seaside shack owned by rastas. No meat but great seafood (including grilled lobster), pasta and vegetables. We also ate at the Purple Turtle, Blue Bay , Tomato , Strawberry and the local "foodstalls" near the US based medical school - Ross University.
  
  Diving: Helen and Peter ,the owners of Cabrits are passionate about quality service for their clients. That attitude works down to the staff and crew. Cabrits owns 3 dive boats (although we heard one was damaged severely after we left by the backwash of Omar). John, Evan and Fabian are careful and attentive divemasters. They do their best to point out interesting critters, unique format! ions and sea life to make the diving enjoyable for what ever level of dive experience you have. Portsmouth does not have the walls of the South but the sea bed is alive with sponges,tropical fish of every kind (including an electric ray and flying gunard), turtles, squid,eels (including the snake eel) and invertbrates. We even did a small "ship wreck". Pole to Pole is still our favoritr dive - in spite of the viz being lower because of rain. The underwater scene is equal to the above water. Between dives Helen even sends her famous English tea (milk and sugar) and "biscuits". Very elegant and classy.
  
  Dominica deserves the title "Nature Island" and it would be missing a substantial portion of Dominica's underwater wonders to dive only in the South.
