Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Amaudo
Anse à la Barque, St-François, Grande-Terre, 97118, Guadeloupe
This hôtel de charme is a small mom-and-pop operation, who in this case are quite sophisticated French managers that will provide any concierge service you might imagine. The white, two-story buildings are of a colonial-style design and are pristine, as are the rooms and bathrooms—with white tiles a-gleaming. Although not wildly hip, spacious guest rooms are furnished with decidedly good taste, each with a different decor. A favorite is one with walls an appealing shade of purple with a pastel-yellow plaid chair. The ample terraces, furnished with teak, have splendid panoramic sea views that take in three islands, as does the inviting swimming pool. Breakfast is lovely, but it costs extra.
