This Caribbean All-Inclusive Hotel Comes With Waterfalls, Rainforests, and Volcanic Lakes

The day can start almost any way you want here. You might plunge into Titou Gorge’s cool waters, or hike through rainforest to a volcanic lake, snorkel off the hotel’s jetty. Tomorrow, it could be canyoning, soaking in hot springs, or exploring Roseau’s bustling market. At Fort Young Hotel in Dominica, these experiences aren’t extras — they’re included.

This is what makes Fort Young’s Island-Included program so unique. Instead of confining guests to the resort, the hotel has built Dominica’s top adventures directly into the all-inclusive rate. It’s a model designed for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the island’s natural beauty and culture without worrying about logistics or add-ons. You check in, unpack, and the rest of Dominica unfolds from there.

A Different Kind of All-Inclusive

Fort Young sits on the Roseau waterfront, perched between the Caribbean Sea and the mountains. From its historic stone walls, the island feels close and accessible, and that’s exactly the point. The Island-Included program goes well beyond meals and drinks. Each day, guests can join guided excursions that take them across Dominica — rainforest hikes, waterfall swims, snorkeling trips, market tours, and scenic drives into the island’s interior. The itineraries rotate daily, giving you the chance to experience multiple sides of the island over the course of your stay.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and beverages are all part of the package, along with round-trip airport transfers and even a massage at the hotel’s spa. For divers, there’s an optional dive-inclusive add-on that brings multi-tank scuba trips and marine park experiences into the mix. It’s a setup that removes the usual guesswork of booking tours piecemeal and replaces it with a seamless, ready-to-go adventure plan.

A True Gateway to Dominica

Staying here doesn’t feel like retreating to a bubble. It feels like stepping into the flow of the island. You can hike through emerald forest in the morning, return for lunch overlooking the water, then head back out for a sunset snorkel. You can walk into town, watch the ferries arrive, chat with guides on the jetty, or set off for the next day’s waterfall trek. Fort Young functions less like a resort and more like a staging ground for discovery, with everything organized but nothing feeling forced.

At night, things slow down. The sound of the sea replaces the hum of the day’s activity. Guests gather on the terrace, trade stories about their excursions, and watch the lights of Roseau flicker across the water. It’s here that the balance of adventure and ease really sinks in.

A New Era for For Young

The hotel’s recently-completed transformation has brought this historic property into a new era, from cool cocktail bars to sparkling rooms. This is one of the region’s true destination hotels — where the hotel is a destination and the hotel takes you deep into it, too. 

Why It Stands Out

In a region where all-inclusives often emphasize staying put, Fort Young flips the model on its head. The hotel makes the island itself the centerpiece. By bundling activities, meals, and logistics, it simplifies travel for guests while channeling tourism toward local guides, operators, and cultural sites. It’s a sustainable, experience-driven approach that fits Dominica perfectly.

For travelers who want their days full and their experiences authentic, Fort Young’s program offers something rare in the Caribbean: an all-inclusive that doesn’t keep you in, it takes you out.

Rooms at Fort Young start as low as $349 per night right now.
