Roots is amazing and exactly what an eco lodge should be. The cabins are clean, comfortable, basic and have everything you need. We spent 10 days in Dominica and after spending the first 2 days there we decided to return at the end of the trip because we enjoyed it so much. Pat and Staci really went out of their... More

We loved our stay at Roots! Pat and Staci really outdid themselves as hosts! Staci's meals were absolutely delicious and amazing especially considering the location! Our last night at Roots she served pork medallions marinated in a honey garlic and onion soy sauce with dipping sauce alongside mint peas, twice baked cheesy potatos, leaf salad and so delicious Gouda Island...

AMAZING!!! We can't imagine staying any where else in Dominica, Roots provides such a unique experience. It is the perfect resort to stay at if you want to get the full yet comfortable experience of a rainforest. Staci and Pat are very accommodating and we had a great time getting to know them, the Kiwis, and the Aussies through out... More

Guys - it was brilliant!!!!! Felt like I'd walked into a bar "where everybody knows your name". Spent a week with Pat and Staci and I think we've made lifelong friends. Not sure, but think we were the "first" kiwis and Pat was struggling to come up with "down under" jokes, but once the Aussie girls came it was full... More

An incredible place in the rainforest, where Staci and Pat take care of the guests. Staci's cooking is the same level as a French chef and Pat took us on a fantastic trip, where he showed us the real Dominica and told good stories. We enjoyed four days in the rainforest and got a lifetime experience. Thank you Staci and... More

If you want nature and good experiences go to Roots. If you want swimming pools and colored drinks do not go to Roots. It would be a shame to get to Roots just to have a bed to sleep in between trips you have planned on amazing Dominica. Roots deserve that you book an extra day where you just enjoy... More

I arrived in Dominica after staying on quite a few other Caribbean islands and I then continued onto Antigua. I can say that Dominica stands out as the most amazing experience of the trip and this is simply due to our hosts Pat and Staci and the setting of Roots Jungle Retreat! From the minute we started up the road... More

For my first trip to the Caribbean, my wife and I chose these open-air huts high up in the rain forest on the largely-undeveloped Atlantic side of this small island nation. We went there Christmas week for our 25th wedding anniversary. We took our kids, aged 15 and 20, and her 81-year-old father. We hiked in upland jungle, swam in... More

My wife and I stayed with you in March, 2012. This was our first time in Dominica, and for that matter, the entire Carribean. What an introduction it was! The accomadation, Staci's food (especially the pizza and banana pancakes), and Pat's entertainment & hiking skills were fantastic. Staci & Pat, you will never be forgotten. We hope to return and...
