On January 24, Hotel The Champs, a hotel based in Picard, Portsmouth, received a Travelers’ Choice Award from TripAdvisor ranking third in Top Bargain Hotels in The Caribbean.

Shortly after celebrating its fifth year of existence the hotel entered the top of this new category reflecting their global presence as a Top Bargain Caribbean Hotel offering maximum services for modest dollars. Out of 25 Caribbean hotels, The Champs is the only Dominican property in this list.

The 5-year-old establishment has been receiving a lot of raving reviews on TripAdvisor, Facebook and other social media platforms.

This has not been the first time it has won an award on TripAdvisor.

“Sometimes we do have our highs and lows in the business but things are getting better as time goes by,” manager, Lise van de Kamp, said.

She noted that she is very elated because this is an interesting award creating a ‘stepping stone’ for prospecting tourists to the Nature Island and will have an impact on the tourism industry of Dominica in general.

“We do try hard, giving our customers the best treatment, thus allowing their confidence to grow, ensuring their comfort and happiness and they just keep on coming over and over again,” she noted.

THe hotel manager expects to see a rise in guest confidence and a widening of the customer base due to the fact that The Champ is the only hotel in Dominica to the award in that category.

“Our success has been achieved by our total commitment to our business. We consider our guests ‘best friends and close family’, and provide them with quality services and products, and support them with outstanding customer attention. We try to have the answer even before they ask the question,” Lise explained. “We would like to say a special thank you to our TripAdvisor reviewers and all our dedicated staff members. We are happy that our guests recognize our capabilities and appreciate that we meet their needs. We will continue to provide excellent service and commitment to our customers.”

      In Picard, off Banana Trail…basically follow the road opposite Ross’ main gate till u see The Tomato. Take that road to the left which leads uphill to Des Champs. A bit rugged, but yeah, cool spot.
