The Best Hotel in Guadeloupe

Most of the island's resort hotels are on Grande-Terre: Gosier, St-François, Ste-Anne, and Bas-du-Fort are the major resort areas. With each passing year, the hotels here improve. The Swedish-owned Langley Resort Fort Royal has breathed new life into the north of Basse-Terre, the closest area of that island to Pointe-à-Pitre and Grande-Terre. In general, more tourists are discovering this area and loving the small hotels and unspoiled nature.

Often, hotel rates include a generous buffet breakfast; ask whether this is included in your rate quote. (It usually is.) Many smaller properties do not accept American Express. As dictated by French law, all public spaces in hotels are no-smoking, but hotel rooms are considered private, and properties can choose to offer smoking rooms.
