Fodor's Expert Review Le Jardin Malanga
60 rte. de l'Hermitage, Hermitage, Trois-Rivières, Basse-Terre, 97114, Guadeloupe
This inviting hillside inn is on a former coffee plantation, where trees laden with fruit are like the temptations of the Garden of Eden. Two atmospheric guest rooms and one suite are in the antiques-filled colonial house of dark hardwood, but the chic, creole-style cottages are more private and have patios with hammocks and contemporary Italian bathrooms. The iPod stations are another welcome amenity. An infinity pool looks out to the mountains and the sea. However, the nearest beach is 20 minutes away, and you will need a car for a stay of more than a couple of days.
PROS
- a romantic hideaway with history and character
- good food in the restaurant (half board is a good option)
- breakfast included
CONS
- no TV or Internet in the bungalows
- beds and pillows in bungalows more comfortable than those in the colonial house
- isolated location not near a beach
