Everything

“Exactly as described on the hotel website, so friendly and relaxing.”

The fresh croissants and pain au chocolat served at our breakfast table were something to look forward to every morning. The yogurt, fruit, coffee, fresh juices and homemade granola made it the perfect breakfast for us. The staff were so friendly and helpful, without them our holiday would not have been the same.

“This place is a unique gem with a laid back, happy vibe. Recommend and we would stay here again.”

The location in Deshaies within walking distance of the Grande Anse beach is ideal. The hotel is well situated for exploring further up the coast of Basse Terre towards Sainte Rose. It was a short drive to the gorgeous beaches of Les Amandiers and La Perle. The lush property is gorgeous and the pool is perfect for cooling off or just hanging around if you want a quieter day, however there are mosquitos. The included breakfast at the beautiful outdoor patio was good and was a continental style with fruit, granola, toast, cheeses and sliced meats, buns, homemade cake, juices, coffee, fresh pastries, local jams, yoghurt and pancakes one morning. Scrambled eggs and espresso coffee were available for a fee. I asked if lactose-free or plant based milk was available and they had soy milk. This is picky but another option like almond, oat or lactose-free cow milk would be appreciated. The staff and owner Christophe who we met are super friendly and eager to please. It was nice to see that Christophe rolled up his sleeves and did shifts alongside his staff. They did make efforts to speak English which was appreciated and was on par with our French and we were able to communicate just fine. They have put together binders in French and English of things to do and recommended restaurants which was a nice touch and they were eager to answer questions and help guests make reservations if necessary. Any issues we had were quickly resolved with a smile. Guests also receive a welcome cocktail upon check-in which was also great. The two-level villas are great for families and there were lots of families with young kids there during our visit due to a school holiday in France. We were a couple and this arrangement would be have been great for us when our kids were small. There are free ranging chickens and roosters as well as a few resident cats roaming the property which added to the atmosphere.

“Gorgeous and rich r patience in beautiful Deshaies”

Beautiful, lush, rain forest feeling.

“Resting in peace in Paradise”

Wonderful hosts. You are surrounded by tropical plants ,trees and the noise of the crickets, frogs and birds.at night. The beach is a five min downhill walk for sunrises / sunsets. Deshaies (for Death in Paradise fans) is a 7 min drive away.

“Jungle Paradise”

Excellent welcome from an English speaking receptionist. Lovely breakfast with a range of options and you can pay for eggs if wanted. We loved our accomodation although you need to be prepared for visits from wildlife! They allow you to stay by the pool area on check-out day and there is a shower area and toilet you can use which is ideal because of the Air France evening return flights. Great location for visiting the beaches, Grande Anse is walkable and Perle is a short drive. Lots of fantastic restaurants in the vicinity and a small grocery shop and excellent burger van at the end of road.

“Lovely hotel and staff”

The hotel is set in a lovely botanical garden. The duplex little houses are lovely and clean. Good air conditioning. Lovely pool. Loved the fact it's an eco hotel. Owners are lovely and very helpful. Very close to La Perle beach, the police station and Catherine's bar used to film Death in Paradise.
