If you're looking to disconnect from the busy life, noise or concrete buildings or you just want to be at peace and embrace the beauty of nature, Roots Jungle retreat is the prefect place. I enjoyed every minute I was there the tranquility, yet the musical vibes of the bird and other animals. Guadeloupe and Martin the hosts are very friendly and helpful not forgetting their 2 kids who loves to entertain and be entertained, lovely family! A Great get away!!

Fantastic, friendly, helpful hosts; attractive and comfortable apartments; small scale; breakfast and dinner (optional but highly recommended) in the open kitchen area; some hikes possible

Off-the-beaten-track is a plus, but difficult access road makes it harder to get back and forth to explore and hike other island areas. 4WD absolutely essential.

Amazing place in the rainforest. We were able to ha e a great relax and some nice walks.

We had a wonderfull time in Roots and would definitely recommend it (for nature lovers). With a 4x4 the road is OK (rented at courtesy) and lead to beautiful cottages in the tropical rainforest. The cottage was very clean, comfortable beds and nice balcony with hammock and amazing view. The cooking of guadeloupe is very good so would recommend to join for dinner. Also, because you're isolated with a road that we didn't want to do in the dark. Hiking in the surrounding rainforest (especially to secret pool) is very nice and they gave us excellent tips for the area. We were also interested in eco farm and guadeloupe/martin advised which one to visit. Supercool to see how al the fruits/spices grow. We had a wonderfull time at Roots!

Would recommend to go with a rented car to roots, so you're flexible (for example also for lunch)

Our hosts were terrific. Knowledgeable and helpful. The location is beautiful and a chance to truly connect with nature. I loved listening to the birds, seeing the stars and sunrise over the trees. And the occasional downpour! It isn’t right for every traveler, though. There is only electricity from 4-10 PM and there aren’t lounge chairs.

The only problem for us was the road, which is treacherous and made us reluctant to come and go. I’d say perfect for a 2-3 night stay or for someone who doesn’t mind driving on very rough roads.

This is, simply put, the best accommodation I have ever booked, ran by the best hosts I ever met. Nothing and nobody tops it, an absolutely unique, dream-like location on this globe, and far better even compared to what I expected. Nature-lovers, waterfall fans, jungle fanatics, hikers, escapists, dreamers, look no further, this is the place and the deal you have been looking for.

unique and special experience in the heart of the jungle! self sustaining eco tourist heaven

unfortunately the electricity was out except for 4-10pm while we were there. owners were working hard to get the system back (I think it should be back 24/7 soon)

The surrounding nature in the middle of the Northern Forest Reserve was absolutely astounding. It was so beautiful and peaceful! The host, Guadeloupe, was ultra friendly and helpful. She was a fountain of information about location guides and sightseeing. She was also an excellent cook. Breakfast was included in our rate, but we also had dinner there both nights of our stay and it was delicious and healthy!

A tricky 2.5 km off-road drive that required 4WD to get from the main road to the lodge.
