Marvelous Hotel in the heart of Guadeloupe

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 27 Aug 2024
This is a splendid hotel in a great position just close to Grande Anse (Deshaies) in Guadeloupe. Surrounded by a tropical garden full of flowers and beautiful plants, it offers small lodges granting full privacy and completed of all necessary commodities..For sure in this angle of paradise tv is not allowed :-) Breakfast is genuine and tasty. The renovated pool is nice for adults and children. Staff is friendly and kind, ready to support guests for their necessities. This is the fourth time I choose the Caraib'bay Hotel for my stay at Guadeloupe. Thank you Christophe and Catherine for this great holiday!

    We chose the hotel for its location close to the beaches and being a short drive to Deshaies. A holiday to combine A level French practice, snorkelling and exploring part of the French Antilles prompted by watching DIP during UK winters. We knew there was a risk of Dengue and although I had been reassured it was “over” I had been reading the French public health bulletins and realised otherwise, so we sprayed some of our clothes before travelling, with insecticide, used bottles of 50% Deet and long clothing, room spray etc.

    The duplex apartment was well set up for a family, comfy beds and mosquito nets with a well appointed shower room and a mini kitchen in a cupboard. There was a small terrace outside with seating but we gave up trying to sit there to eat lunch, due to the amount of mosquitoes. Moving inside, the glass was frosted in the downstairs, so you couldn’t look out into the garden which I thought was a shame as the surrounding gardens and scenery were beautiful and it ended up feeling quite claustrophobic. We tried to keep all the windows and doors closed to prevent mosquitoes entering, particularly in view of the risk of Dengue, but these were left open when the room was being cleaned which didn’t help.

    The pool was beautiful, its surroundings similar to a botanic garden - we enjoyed swimming but again sitting around the pool there were also mosquitoes in the daytime, luckily down by the beach it was fine.

    Lots of information was provided in folders in reception on local places of interest, activities and restaurants which was really helpful and we went on two fantastic snorkelling trips.

    Deshaies was very pretty and meeting The Commissioner was a highlight. The lowlight was ending up at the Hospital for Tropical diseases in London after we got back as my husband became very unwell the day after we left, and was subsequently diagnosed with Dengue, my son with another mosquito born virus. The irony of “death in paradise” was not lost on us…..

    Nous espérons qu'ils aillent mieux.

    Les fenêtres sont ainsi pour conserver votre intimité. Quant à l'aération de la chambre pendant le ménage, c'est une consigne d'hygiène obligatoire.

    Of three places that I stayed in Guadeloupe, the Caraib' Bay was my favorite. Each 'room' is really a half of a duplex with two floors, a small kitchenette, and a new, fairly spacious bathroom. As I recall, there were two or three single beds on the ground floor with upper floor being the master bedroom. (The only bathroom is on the ground floor -- in an ideal world I would put a small bathroom upstairs -- maybe at the next renovation:-)). There is also an outdoor patio area and a nice walk through the forest to the main area with the front desk, bar, breakfast area, and pool. It is a few minutes drive back to Deshaies so you definitely want a car here -- but just about everyone visiting Guadeloupe (unless you're on a cruise ship) is going to want a rental car. From the hotel it is only about a 5 -10 minute walk to the large beach (Plage de Grande Anse). The folks at reception are happy to make dinner reservations for you and have a couple of nice binders of activities and dining. My recollection is that the wifi was good but that you have to go to the office area to use it. I don't believe there were tv's anywhere (but I totally agree with that philosophy so didn't miss it). The hotel will also lend you snorkeling equipment. Free welcome drink, good breakfast (they will make you eggs for a very reasonable charge). They even packed me something for a day when I had to leave early. Let me also plug my two favorite restaurants in the area: Beach Wav' is right down at Plage de Grande Anse but note it is lunch only; La Kaz du Douanier is in the town of Deshaies (they do two seatings per evening -- definitely recommend a reservation).

    The accommodation was comfortable although no WiFi in the cabins. The breakfast was lovely. Our big dissappointment was that conversation with the hotel staff was shut down as soon as they realised we were English speaking and our French was poor. One server was very rude and literally tutted and walked away. It spoiled the whole visit as she continues to be rude all week. We were hoping to practise our French but we didn’t get the chance.

    Chère Margaret,

    Nous vous remercions pour votre retour et ravis de lire que vous avez apprécié nos chambres.

    Nous sommes très étonnés de vos remarques concernant le personnel qui ne parlait pas anglais car tout notre personnel à la réception connaît l'anglais

    Vous vouliez parler français alors pourquoi reprocher de ne pas parler anglais...Nous n'avons pas pour habitude d'ignorer nos clients de langue étrangère et faisons toujours le maximum pour que chacun puisse s'exprimer et être compris.

    Bonne continuation

    We needed a hotel for a night in this part of Guadeloupe and ended up at the Caraib'Bay. We were only sorry that we didn't book the hotel for longer. The grounds are magical, filled with verdant greenery and flowers. Rooms are set in bungalow-type accomodations; ours was two floors and could easily have fit a family of five (it had several beds). The pool area is lovely, and fabulous Grande Anse Beach is just a short walk away. In short, this is a very special little spot; we were very sorry to leave.
