Crescent Moon Cabins is a unique and serene environment . We are located in the foothills of Morne Trois Pitons National Park, midway between the Melville Hall airport and the capitol city Roseau. We are fortunate to have challenging hiking, hidden waterfalls, and explorable ruins all within our valley. We can also make the necessary arrangements for knowledgeable and friendly guides to accommodate your special interests. Dominica's waterfalls, snorkeling coves, and hiking trails are all easily accessible from Crescent Moon Cabins. While staying with us at Riviere La Croix you will be invited to watch or participate in some of our savored chores such as making cocoa, roasting coffee, and squeezing fresh picked fruits for juices. No matter how you choose to spend your time in Dominica, we know that you will take home with you health and happiness.

The cabins are designed to take full advantage of the panoramic views of the mountains and sea. Building construction incorporates local wood which seamlessly blends into the forest. The grounds are lush with tropical flower and fruit plants. Mango, Pawpaw, Almond trees as well as Banana and Breadfruit add a charming touch to this romantic setting. Stone foot paths take you into the forest or down by the river where you can take a cool bath, observe the many species of birds that come to visit, or just relax and read a book.
A locally handcrafted bed enlivens the cabin. Sights of the sea can be had from this vantage point or from the ten foot verandah. Each cabin has a spacious private bathroom and shower.

The evening brings a backdrop of chirping frogs and crickets as you savor what our guests have heralded as "the best food in the universe!"
At Crescent Moon, we believe in taking time to prepare a meal. We enjoy celebrating, through creative cuisine, the coming of what is in season. Ron is forever integrating his mastery of international cuisine with the exotic produce and savory seasonings of the region. Dinner always begins with hot, home baked bread. A sample menu would start with a mixed green salad with beets and papaya dressing. An entrée of African style peanut stew with sweet potato, ladies yam, garden okra, and wild ginger served with a portion of lemongrass rice to follow. And as for dessert, a hint would be to take stock of what fruits are piling up. Our favorite is homemade mango ice cream!

Hot Tub & Plunge Pool
We encourage a moonlight soak in the bay infused hot bath for weary muscles. Take a taste of a bush tea with you and try and count the shooting stars. The convenient stone plunge pool makes for a refreshing dip any time of day.
Rivers
Although Dominica is surrounded by gorgeous waters, it also harbors some of the most beautiful fresh water rivers! At Crescent Moon Cabins Riviere La Croix allows for a purely cleansing and rejuvenating experience to weary hikers.
Mountain Spring Water
All of the drinking water at Crescent Moon Cabins comes directly from a mountainside source of fresh and great tasting spring water.

Lounge
Our lounge is more like a living room with a complete library. In addition to an eclectic mix of fiction, we have an expanded resource corner of Dominican information and literature. You will find books on birding, sea life, flora, and natural healing. There are also studies of Dominican history, music , architecture, and cuisine as well as local works of fiction and poetry. Feel free to roll out the big map, consult the guidebooks, and chart a course for the day. There is an assortment of instruments if you are inclined and all of the favorite games are there. We can also set you up here if you need to check e-mail.
