lotro Posted January 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Has anyone visited this site? Is this a place you would spend the day or just a couple of hours? How far is it located from the port? It has good reviews on tripadvisor, but just wondering what fellow cruisers thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JustinPlusLauren Posted January 18, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hi! That is my travel blog, I have some pics posted on it from our day in Dominica of Screw's Spa - it was a great trip! Very soothing and relaxing, and your skin feels great afterwards! :) Hope that you find it to be helpful - I would recommend going there if you're looking for something relaxing to do, great scenery too!

CRUISERTN Posted January 23, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2009 It was a nice place to visit on a tour along with other sights on the island. An hour or so is plenty of time there if you are on a tour going to other sights. We enjoyed the warm waters...very relaxing....if you go there independently I would recommend working out something where the driver would stay there with you to return you to the ship. Dominica is a beautiful island so I would recommend going there in ADDITION to seeing the other sights also (Trafalgar Falls, Emerald pool, etc.)....it is not an island where you will see fancy high rise resorts of tons of fancy jewelry stores but you WILL see tons of natural beauty on a lush, unspoiled island.

JerseyGuys Posted January 24, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2009 We did a private tour in November to Titou Gorge, Trafalgar Falls and then Screw hot springs as a last stop. I think it was a great wrap up for a full day on the island, but I think an hour was enough time to just relax and soak.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaboochi Posted February 10, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Just off Carnival Victory and our second visit to Screw's Spa in Dominica. It is a must if you like warm thermal pools. He has expanded since 2008, with over 6 NATURAL thermal pools in a beautiful tropical rain forest setting. The pools range from warm to hot. He is very congenial and you will walk away thinking, "this was fantastic". Check out his website and please ask me questions. You will love this place. The price is very reasonable.

Kaboochi Posted February 10, 2009 #11 Share Posted February 10, 2009 What is his website? screwsspa dot com You won't find much info there, except for the hours and some great photos. Goggle it and you'll find more info on other websites along with a Utube video of the place. Enjoy, it is worth going to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrysyGT Posted February 11, 2009 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Was just there 3 weeks ago! It was a fantastic experience and is very relaxing. Here are some pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaboochi Posted February 18, 2009 #17 Share Posted February 18, 2009 They say to wear a dark suite, I think it has to do with the sulpher maybe? In 2 visits to Screws I wore dark suits but others in our group wore brighter colors and never had a problem. The sulfur and other minerals do discolor the water but it is very clean. Screw lists all of the minerals on a sign before you take the walk down to the springs. Go have a blast, it is awesome!!!!!!! Wish I was there now.

KrysyGT Posted February 18, 2009 #18 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I had a teal suit on and nothing happened to it. Same with my girlfriends who were all similarly bright colored. They also have the cool down pool/waterfall that you can rinse off in. :) Enjoy, it was so very relaxing and nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You I will get back to you on distance and cost to use the spa, I'm waiting for an email response from a friend who arranged this for us. I can't tell you about price because we hired a driver at the pier for $20pp for the entire day. There is a bar there and Screw serves fruits (coconut, pineapple, watermelon etc) and punch for free.

Kaboochi Posted February 23, 2009 #22 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Holdon, I have the info you requested. One of our group wrote the following. Remember, we traveled with a group of 18 for this venture: think if you went directly there (we haven’t yet), it might be 45 minutes to an hour. The cost depends on the size of the party. This year I think we paid $10 pp. I think the cost for one or two people is $20pp. I hope this helps, Kaboochi Report back of this venture if you go please!!!!
