It's a really nice place, with comfortable accommodation.

8.0

Its an out of the way place, in a lovely forest setting. Very nice for bird-watching, dipping in the river and enjoying nature. Friendly, laid back caretaker.

The restaurant was closed for the season so you need to bring all your own food - not a problem if you have a 4x4, but otherwise you are walking up the access road with all your things!

Logement situé dans un endroit incroyable ! Malik nous a super bien accueilli ! Réveil dans un endroit magique :)

Gros problème d’accès… un éboulement bloque l’accès au logement. Il faut marcher entre 20 et 30min avec du dénivelé. Besoin d’être en très bonne forme et l’accès doit se faire avec un 4x4

Recharged in the jungle and refreshed in the natural pools

The hosts were so fun and friendly!!! They were extremely helpful with getting oriented to the island and the immediate local area. The setting is immaculate — remote and completely immersed in the high mountain jungle in Marigot just north of Kalinago Territory. It was stellar to ground the first few days in Dominica and get connected with the plants, cascades, birds, sun, and cleansing storm patterns at night. We chose to stay mostly off of our phones to match the energy of what the space was offering us, and it worked like a retreat where you completely connect back into nature and its cycles. We are forever grateful for Roots and the love that goes into running the space!!

Quatre nuitées dans un petit paradis au milieu de la forêt.

10.0

Le cadre exceptionnel, en plein milieu de la forêt, la gentillesse et la disponibilité du couple qui nous a accueillis, la qualité des petit-déjeuners...Notre logeuse est, en outre, une excellente source d'informations sur la faune locale et peut aussi donner de précieux conseils pour les visites ou les activités.

La piste qui mène à l'hébergement ( environ 15 minutes depuis la route principale ) nécessite un véhicule 4x4. Mais, vu l'état général des routes en Dominique, les loueurs de voitures ne proposent souvent que des véhicules à 4 roues motrices...et tout cela fait partie du charme de cette île !

Petit coin de paradis au milieu de la jungle, accès direct à la rivière, super accueil de nos hôtes et bons conseils, délicieux repas et petits déjeuners ! Par contre l'accès de ce havre de paix se mérite par un chemin compliqué : 4*4obligatoire !
