Having read some negative reviews, I was a little concerned but I can now say unduly so. Comments regarding the language aren't accurate. Being French but living in London, therefore fluent in both, I can say that all the staff we dealt with, obviously spoke French and their English was pretty good. Quite a few Scandinavian tourists visit and there are staff members from Scandinavia to accommodate. Amazingly beautiful idyllic location. Perfectly placed for exploring the whole archipelago that is Guadeloupe. The hotel is really nice and built in such a way that it is not an eye sore as not a high rise. It is not obtrusive between the sea and the rainforest. The reception area is open, very comfortable to relax and have a drink. there is also a lovely shop selling clothing, souvenirs, etc... (I would however say that the lady in the shop at the time was very arrogant, rude and definitely not customer oriented). The room was really good, very comfortable bed and we had an absolutely amazing view. Our juliette balcony was literally over the rainforest and the beach. Absolutely gorgeous, All we could see was water and nature and hear the sound of the waves. That particular beach is too dangerous for swimming due to currents but perfect to walk on. There is of course a beautiful long sandy beach on the other side with sunbeds and parasols. There is a beautiful pool with very comfortable loungers, located steps away from the beach, a "petanque" area near the pool, a water sports area for sailing, paddle boarding etc... fantastic clay tennis courts, a beach bar which also serves some food during the day and offers some entertainment on some nights. Breakfast, lunch, dinner are also offered in an open restaurant further along the beach. all kinds of birds, wild life can be spotted all around. We only ate breakfast at the hotel as we wanted to explore as many local restaurants serving creole food as we could. Definitely recommend. I would however point out that unless one wishes to spend most of the time at the hotel, a car is highly recommended to be able to explore freely. There is ample parking. All the staff were courteous, friendly, helpful, couldn't do enough for you and I would like to particularly mention Geoffrey who seemed to run everywhere taking care of guests and Barbara in reception.

After reading mixed reviews we managed our expectations on this hotel. However, we ere pleasantly surprised with the hotel. The location is superb, all staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Our room with balcony was excellent and spotlessly clean. We’ve visited most Caribbean islands and enjoyed Guadeloupe the most. Breakfasts were very good and dinners too, although the menu was a little repetitive.

“Good place with issues.”

Upon arrival we were greeted by the receptionist with a warm smile. They made us feel very welcome. The room we were allocated had a balcony and a sea view. The sea view was amazing the balcony was all of 300cm in depth so no ability to stand out there and enjoy the view. There is no tea or coffee … lisää

Upon arrival we were greeted by the receptionist with a warm smile. They made us feel very welcome. The room we were allocated had a balcony and a sea view. The sea view was amazing the balcony was all of 300cm in depth so no ability to stand out there and enjoy the view. There is no tea or coffee making facilities in the room which is a bit unusual for a hotel of this ranking. The facilities of the hotel are great with a wonderful bar to watch the sun go down, the food was superb and on a buffet style with excellent quality. The staff made us feel so welcome and always engaged with us for a brief chat. The one thing that does let this hotel down is the very limited washroom facilities. The one near the restaurant served all of the communal areas. There was another behind reception but to use that you needed to have a keycard to gain access. The disabled washroom was permanently out of order for our 10 day stay. The Wi-Fi was intermittent and not always available when needed. Overall it was a good place but let down by the small items which if there would have made it great. Maybe a review of the star rating needs to be undertaken as we have stayed in hotels with the same rating but are so much better.
