Idiosyncratic hotel in lovely gardens

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Jan 2017
The first important thing visitors need to know is that this hotel is not in Sainte Rose and is not where google maps have it located it is 4km away from google positioning. Do get detailed instructions as to how to get there, it was a nightmare in the dark on New Year's Eve and we had to be guided in!!!
It is not within walking distance of other restaurants and a car is essential. Do be aware that the bar and restaurant are closed on a Tuesday and Wednesday for us it was also shut New Year's Day and we really didn't have our bearings at this point.
Once Monday arrived we felt a lot happier with our choice of small hotel with beautiful peaceful surroundings and a great pool.
Our superior double room didn't feel that superior no chairs in the bedroom and saloon doors into the bathroom but a very comfy bed with bedding and towels changed every day and lovely views all compensated.
The restaurant was lovely with excellent food but the menu does not change and there was only one special whilst we were there. We did see alternative menu choices offered for children which was good.When the restaurant is closed the hotel does appear a little like the "Marie Celeste" as the communal lounge area is not that welcoming there is the potential for it to be so much better and a loyalty bar would be a great addition. Sandrine was a real star from collecting us on our disastrous arrival to providing a room for us to use at the end of our stay, she will be a huge loss as she leaves in February.

The hotel is a good base for travelling around although we found getting to Grande Terre always a slow journey and would recommend a week on each island to get the best of both worlds. Base Terre is the more spectacular island and Deshaies was a total delight Grande Aisne beach gorgeous with good beach restaurants with a wide price range. Also sun beds to hire a rare occurrence.
Grande Terre more tourism but the white sandy beaches with safe swimming shallow lagoons etc around Sainte Anne and Sainte Francois. The best meal we had was at Le Zagaya at Sainte Francoise.
Date of stay: January 2017
Room Tip: Perhaps not room 3 which we had we would want the room that has a self catering option too and...

        Reviewed 8 October 2016

        We spent about five days here during a visit to Guadeloupe. It is well-located and is close to many nice beaches, attractions, and a couple good nature/hiking areas. The habitation itself is good, on lovely grounds with a nice pool. As some reviewers have noted, the restaurant is only open some nights for dinner and there are really not any places to eat within walking distance. But we liked it and would stay there again if in the area.

        Room tip: The habitation is secluded so there is relatively little difference among the rooms in terms of noise.

        Stayed for 3 nights in the 2 bedroom bungalows at the rear of the hotel. There was a kitchenette, seating area and plunge pool perfect for 2 couples sharing, this meant we could have breakfast at our convenient and bring food back.

        Restaurant was closed when we arrived and place appeared empty but hotel manager was very accommodating and made us a plate of cold food with beer, wine and water.

        Great location for exploring - out of the town and car or local taxi essential. Set on a sugar plant it was interesting history.

        Deshaies only approx. 20mins away.

        Defiantly recommend and would stay again,

        We stayed at L'Habitation our last three nights in Guadeloupe. It's located a few miles west of Sainte-Anne and a short drive to several local beaches and the town of Deshaies. It's a little tricky to find, but once you do, you're in for a treat. L'Habitation is a beautiful facility with gorgeous outdoor spaces. The room was very large by European standards, well equipped, with a very comfortable bed, and intriguing decor. Our room overlooked the swimming pool and the gardens. There is also a fabulous restaurant at the hotel which we thoroughly enjoyed our last night in Guadeloupe. A continental breakfast is included in the room rate. One nice touch was that on the morning of our departure, we were leaving very early ( before 6:00 AM). Although they are not open at that time the manager/cook prepared a breakfast for us to get us on our way. I would enthusiastically return to l'Habitation on a return trip to Guadeloupe.

        Two night here on a quick visit to Guadeloupe, Arrived late due to flight delay, dining room was not open but the manager made us a very nice salad. Next day we were told the ding room was not open that night either, blow. We improvised with pizza off a local van. This is a nice hotel in expansive gardens, but a little off the beaten track. the room is comfortable enough, good ensuite, and balcony overlooking the pool etc. The breakfast was excellent with lots of local input.
        We were looking forward to eating there, it is supposed to be good, pity

        We had a fantastic time at Habitation du Comte. This well kept property provided a peaceful home base for our 4 night stay. Breakfast was fantastic, the staff were friendly (recommended a great beach a bit off the beaten path) and everything was clean and comfortable. It's set back from the main road so very quiet, but in close proximity to Deshaies.
