This property is quite dated and eroding gradually and not your ideal Beach vacation spot. However, if you get the right room with a nice view you can ignore everything else. The nature elements (like the beachfront padded with cute coconut trees, private coves, and a stunning sunset) make up for the aging buildings and bump the rating of this place Was a great value for money at the price we paid. LOCATION: Lovely beachfront location DINE + DRINK: Overpriced and poorly decorated beachfront bar/restaurant that you should avoid! The breakfast restaurant was a stunner and was a breakfast to remember with mindblowing views and beach vibes ROOM: We stayed in Room 2511, so this review is based on that; VIEW: Lovely view of the ocean and the coves; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting me to sleep; BATHROOM: Stand-in shower; TOILETRIES: OK cosmetics FACILITIES: No Gym on site, and a very dated and unappealing pool! SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all our needs with a smile. But the staff at the Beachfront bar were quite annoying and didnt seem to understand what attentive or polite service meant! HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free high-speed Wi-Fi that works well all over the property. Big Plasma TV screen dishing out a wide variety of channels spanning sports, news, music, movies, and entertainment, mostly in FRENCH language! …
This hotel is a 2.5 stars at best. The positives - it is relatively close to the airport which costs about 30 euros one way. - there are plenty of restaurants nearby within east walking distance that are very good. - it does have a beach and small pool and was easy enough to get a chair. The not so good - this hotel is small. Whoever did the photography for their website is a genius at making it look bigger than it is. - it is severely dated. If we were staying longer that 1.5 days I would have switched. The rooms are horrible. - there is no hospitality, events, live music, nothing. If you’re looking for solitude this will give you that. - food options are limited on site. - be prepared for very little to no English. It makes it hard to navigate simply conversation but we did try on both ends. Would of helped tremendously if they had an English menu option. Overall I will not be back. I found my time here less enjoyable than other islands and found there weren’t options to highlight what Guadeloupe has to offer.…
Firstly this hotel complex is huge, I checked in at reception and was given very vague directions to the block I was situated in. Of which I got lost, in a resort like this there should be some sort of map or better signage to find your room failing that if someone cant understand your directions due to poor english then get off you bottom and show me. Anyway I found it.... the rooms are extremely basic, there is no headboard on the bed there are no tea and coffee making facilities (i know this is a very british thing but still in other countries they have cottoned onto this idea). There is no facilities for ice for the room there is no bottled water in the room. The toiletries are ok but on dispensers bolted to the wall. The only food outlet in the evening is the bar on the beach this is ok but waiter again no english (as if) I ordered a starter and main course and he missed out my starter so annoying for me a lost income for the hotel food was ok, you have a lot of restaurants nearby which you can walk to much better, Food in the buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner was very good and fresh staff excellent in the buffet restaurant. The only thing I didn't like in the buffet were the birds which even eat off the buffet I know this is also the perch above where you're eating which i didnt like or find hygenic, just keep the doors shut!…
Not the simpiest to found the hotel from highway especially at evening. Buildings are in a lush garden. Clean rooms, super view to pool and to the sea. Free wireless internet. Nice beach area, fine breakfast. Interesting, that breakfast have to pay immediately - may no room credit?
This hotel has the perfect location with a great beach. The bar has posh decor and a relaxing vibe. Walking distance to restaurants and Plage de la Datcha. Love the ocean view from the little balcony!
Okay if you are looking to relax and do not care about the size of the room or what the room look like then... this is the place to stay. The ascetic of the property is well kept and nice. The hotel has access to the beach and it has a pool. A restaurant I believe it's called the le pelican and then the buffet spot. Please do not waste your time with breakfast its not good and right outside you can literally get food less than 5 mins. The pelican serve nice drink. The ti punch coco was good. The food was decent. Extremely overpriced and it takes long. I order the fries and beef stew. Literally got 1 piece of stew that was cut into 2 little square box. My friend had the fish and it was good. Again overpriced. But convenient if your on the beach and don't mind waiting. The buffet spot was a waste of money. They literally had nothing. We didn't do the all inclusive and we were glad. On our last day we went and I ate 6 warmed crossiants and orange juice. After locating the chef I got an omelet but it was yuck. Now our room was changed because we had 1 bed for 2 ppl. We're friends and we're not a couple. Mavela at the front desk was very pleasant and nice. She was resourceful and she spoke English well. We loved her as well when we read the reviews prior many complained about the frontdesk not being friendly we experience the opposite. The other ladies spoke English and was helpful. The room is small and infested with mosquitos. We don't know how but we spent the entire time spray and leaving smell out and killing them. The room wasn't thoroughly cleaned and one bed didn't have pillows. Later on the house keeper brought pillows. The room need to be cleaned and painted. You can see were they miss many corners in the bathroom and I. The room by the ac. Crumbs was on the floor and etc. But hey it was okay for us to stay for 2 nights. The beds are low and TV only work in French. The phone does not work and after informing the frontdesk she said she would send somebody and guess what it still didn't work. So much for calling if we needed help with anything. We had a view were we could see the beach and pool from the side but we had so many mosquito we only open it the 1st time we arrived. The glass on the door is super clean. If they clean the rooms and update the furniture and paint it can easily be a 3. The pool is small but it does the job. For the life of me I couldn't understand why water was flooded in the entrance to the pool. It was disgusting so we never visited the pool because you have to walk through this water and with a Pandemic nah we opt out. We informed the front desk and I showed them pictures and it didn't get fixed. It's like a drainer need to be placed there. Also the beach isn't privately own a lot of people have access to the beach. The beach is up kept and cleaned. …
The accommodations can seem to be a bit simple in the beginning, but it does deliver a good service. The restaurant serves a good food, the beach near to the hotel is beautiful and clean. Tonight I had a great night at Le Pelican, the bar they just opened. Could enjoy a good drink while listening to the waves sound, and trying some good creole tapas. It’s a comfortable hotel, with a good service and a good localization, near restaurants, bars, casinos and great landscapes. I’d come back more times.
Hotels in guadeloupe is generally quite expensive and we find this hotel very good value for money (Eur 120 per night including breafast for the three of us). We stayed in the salako building. The room is quite old and the aircondition drips water. Evening entertainment was boring and loud . BUT, the location was really good. Hotel has its own beach with fine white sand. We did not need to drive to other places. there was also a short cut along the beach to a ferry stop (less than 10 minutes walk) that can get you to the super nice small island ilet du gosier. Sea view from our balcony was very nice. The restaurant where breakfast is served is right by the sea - always feels so good to start the day with nice views. We ate buffet dinner there once which was good. also tried the a la carte restaurant on site which was not good at all. Within very short walk there are other nice options for dinner. Remember this is a low key 3 star hotel - you get what you pay for - the beach and the view made up for the old room facilities. …
Everyone was helpful and polite. If you are handicapped, be aware that you have to carry your luggage up a long winding driveway which was closed to all but deliveries. The breakfasts are excellent with many choices. Across from the hotel are a number of excellent restaurants. If you are coming on a holiday, reserve your table at the hotel in advance--we did not do that for Christmas Day, not being aware.
A rather older location but in a good area. Nice beach, friendly staff that spoke more English than I spoke French. Stayed here on two occasions and would stay here again. Nothing fancy but certainly a nice little place
