Reviews and Ratings
The hotel feels like a tired 1950s holiday camp chalet in need of repair or replacement before the next guests arrive. The service was wonderful and very helpful, but some staff members lacked knowledge and weren't helpful. The location is nice above the hill and a few minutes from the best beaches in Guadeloupe, yet far from other facilities. The dining experience was very good but could have been improved with more variety. Overall, there are noticeable cleanliness issues in the rooms and some areas of the hotel.

The location provides a partial sea view but is let down by cleanliness issues in certain areas. Dining options are good but could be improved for a more varied experience.
