These gardens were so beautiful. It was fun to see such a variety and also I enjoyed how well labeled all the plants were so you could know what you were looking at. There were great photo opportunities and some good views. I especially loved seeing the orchids they grafted into the trees! I would definitely recommend visiting here!

A must see! An incredible amount of plants from all over the world. Beautiful Parakeets set in their own space. The design of the property was well thought out with the perfect photo ops. $17.50euros/pp, a free shuttle service in the area. The restaurant was lovely, although we were not hungry at the time, we opted for a lovely fruit salad that was shared ($10euros), and it was very good. Allow 2 hrs for just the grounds then more for dining.

A wonderful experience, great variety of exotic plants and trees in a well cared for setting. The free shuttle bus from Deshaies town was much appreciated and the restaurant serves great food with a beautiful view. Highly recommended.

Well tended and well organised botanic garden with plenty of experience value. The chance to feed rainbow lorikeets, carp and goats is likely to be the highlight here (feed is available at the entrance) It takes around two hours to complete the one-way pathway which snakes through various thematic zones, including the stops for feeding animals and a coffee break. The landscaping is extremely elaborate, with streams, waterfalls and outcrops giving panoramic views across the surroundings. The gardens are a standard excursion for cruise ships, so after 10am they start to get crowded. Long queues for the toilets, café and entrance form even in low season.

Excellent and entertaining botanical garden. Just perfect size. Takes a bit more than an hour to walk through the guided path.

A nice place, with lots of tropical plants. The bonus of feeding kois, parrots and goats was a nice surprise. There are recorded videos for some of the spots that you can access with a QR code. I haven’t tried, but I’m wondering if there is wifi available for people while visiting the gardens. The boutique has lots of souvenirs to account for all tastes and budgets.

Absolutely lovely. Well laid out and lots of striking and interesting plants and trees. The path is mostly shaded too. The lorikeets and flamingos are fabulous! Highly recommend!

We spent 2 delightful weeks in Cabane aux Etoiles. The situation was beautiful- among the trees in a peaceful corner of the forest close to the Botanical Gardens. Time out on our terrace was a chance to relax and unwind and wait for the birds and anoles to visit us. And the location was perfect for indulging our guilty pleasure, "Death in Paradise" as it is just outside the village of Deshaies which doubles up as "Honore" in the TV series. Best of all was the kindness and attention of Sandie, Theo and the team who looked after us throughout. We dream of returning one day soon.

Loved our stay here. Staff is incredibly kind and the place is rather magical. Don't be alarmed by the approach, once you get there, it's lovely! Five minute drive to the prettiest beach on the island.

A perfect spot to stay if you want to visit Basse Terre! The location is magical and the hosts are super welcoming. Neither my husband nor myself speak French but that was not an issue 😊 we got excellent tips for the excursions and saw many hummingbirds from our cottage. I highly recommend this place

We had a lovely stay in the jungle lodge 3 in the nature with a very nice few. They arranged dinner for the first night and breakfast for the next morning. The service is excellent. The staff is very friendly and has some nice recommendations. After we had to check out we were allowed to stay and use the pool area. We even got extra towels. Thank you Carla for everything 😊

Very lush and tropical setting, all of the accommodations are spread out and secluded, very well maintained and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Had great week here with wife. Plenty of hummingbirds and other birds.

Lovely place. Super staff. They are helpful and English speakers. We stayed in a wood house. It was very romantic. We loved the outdoor terrace and the shower. Kitchen is well equipped. If it is rainy weather be ready to feel a little bit cold and wet....but it is not the accomodation's "mistake". The garden is wonderful, just like you are in the jungle. Pool was little bit cold, but we preferred the sea. Every house has a private parking place. Our friend recommended this place. We did not regret it. We loved it. Thanks a lot!

This place is truly outstanding. Close to Deshaies, one of the nicest towns of Basse Terre, but hidden in a rainforest-like setting. We booked the Secret Lodge, which had a terrace with incredible views over the Deshaies bay. The apartment was well equipped, and the owners are super helpful and friendly. They can lend all sorts of equipment (e.g. for snorkeling, or child's toys), help with booking activities and it's very easy to communicate with them on WhatsApp (they speak English too). We saw all sorts of birds, including hummingbirds. I would definitely come back here in the future.

Tropicalsub Diving is my favourite dive club in the north of Basse-Terre. Eric is very knowledgeable, safety oriented, yet easy-going and fluent in English. His boat is very comfortable and convenient. No need to carry tanks, as they are already on the boat. The dive sites are pretty shallow but full of fish (perfect for photographers), making it easy to do three dives in a day and get the most out of your stay. Highly recommended.

I was nervous as this was my first ever scuba dive after getting my PADI license at an quarry near where we live. My scuba partner and I worked with Eric primarily to set up arrangements, and with Nicholas on the first two days, and Eric on the third. Our experience was outstanding. On the first two days, Nicholas was very attentive to making sure we had our equipment set up correctly, including correcting some beginner (polite way of saying embarrassing for me) mistakes. On the boat before we went in, he described the parameters for the dive: the path we were going to take, the signals to use to let him know about our tank utilization, how to know when to turn around, and making sure we did the required safety stop at the end. Attached is a photo of him checking in on the group. In the water, he pointed out various interesting creatures to see (turtles, flounder, lobster, shrimp, mackerel, eels, porcupinefish, stingray, etc). He helped us monitor our tank usage, and made sure that we did the safety stop (not going up too fast, nor heading too low). On the third day, we swam with Eric. He was equally attentive and helpful. By this point, I was much more comfortable in the water and had gotten better at managing my position (e.g. buoyancy). He showed me a different way to descend that allowed me to swim with significantly less weight than I had been using during my PADI training (I weigh 145 lbs and was diving with 13 lbs in the ocean; in fresh water (less dense), I had been using 16 lbs -- normally, you use 4-5 lbs more in salt water than you do in fresh, but I was using 3 lbs less!). Eric was a great guide as well, pointing out many of the animals around us. I would definitely recommend this dive shop to anyone heading to Guadeloupe.

Eric, Maggi and team provided a 6 dive PADI advanced open water certification to us on our holidays whilst in Guadeloupe. Over 3 days we dig a wreck dive, deep dives, worked on buoyancy, rescue and a drift dive. Excellent tuition, great helpers and tailored instruction to our needs within the course structure. Brilliant to meet Canadians, French, German and English divers - great community. 5 star experience. Big thank you to everyone

Eric and his team are fantastic! Really can not recommend enough! Eric took me through my padi open water diving, He took the time to explain in English And introduced me to an incredible underwater world

Fantastic 6 dives AOW as a couple, including reserve Cousteau and shipwreck with Guillaume and Vincent. Very professional, fun and calm team, give a lot of attention to divers. The boat is confortable. It is wonderful to dive with passionate people that can show and explain a lot about marine fauna and flora. Thanks to Guillaume's guidance, I learnt to see many more small things. Warmly recommended!!!

Excellent scuba diving club. Nicolas was excellent with my daughter’s first dive as well as fantastic with my wife and I who were diving for the first time in nearly 10 years. Look forward to diving with Nicolas the next time we visit Guadeloupe.

Excellent dive school with a very nice, professional instructor. Eric is always friendly and can explain everything very well. The material and the boat are excellent. I took the rescue course and my three children had the advanced open water course. I can truly recommend this school!

A pleasant surprise. Very good appetizers and main courses. A wide selection of drinks and reasonable prices. The menu could be more varied to make it worth coming back more than once or twice.

Absolutely amazing food and service, lovely friendly staff, brilliant vibe to the place, thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, so much so, we've booked to go again tomorrow! Superb!! Merci!!

Amazing beach front restaurant. Enjoyed a cocktail whilst the sun went down (feet in the sand!). The food is inspired by Thailand and Vietnam - absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, great service. And the waitress was remarkably friendly and gave us a feeling of being really welcome and in good hands there. :) Many greetings from germany!

I did not have a reservation, they found me a place, for one, asked me if I could be less than an hour. Perfect! They spoke excellent English,( I have very poor French) they have an English menu. I had a wonderful rum drink with six different fruit juices that has a wonderful kick. The food was well prepared, well presented and delicious. The servers are friendly and helpful. So much so I have an actual reservation so I can watch the sunset over the harbour tomorrow.

This place was an absolute gem – easily one of the best spots in town! We came here several times during our stay and each visit was just as magical as the last. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, the staff super friendly, and the food and desserts are simply delicious. But the real highlight? The sunsets. Somehow, even on rainy days, the skies would clear just in time for an unforgettable sundown. It became our go-to place to unwind, enjoy great drinks, and soak in the atmosphere. Can’t recommend it enough – we’ll definitely be back!

So relax and so good, excellent service with great attention to details, a nice selection of dishes well served, a great collection of homemade rums, and a smiling atmosphere all along

Very nice, mostly French but some English, pretty marina, closes early everyday, but they are nice and helpful.

We had a wonderful evening the atmosphere , the service and last but by no means least the food was amazing. We have already booked for next week.

La Kaz du Douanier really impressed us. The menu blends French and Caribbean influences beautifully, and there was a great selection of local fish — fresh and full of flavour. Every dish we tried was cooked with real care. Add to that the genuinely friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere, and you’ve got a spot that’s easy to recommend. A lovely place for a laid-back but high-quality meal in Deshaies.

This was hands down our favorite dinner of our week in Guadeloupe. It was an adorable restaurant with a dining room featuring local art and little tables tucked away on the wrap-around porch. The menu was well-thought out and had many delicious offerings. The staff and owners were friendly, service was fast and food was delicious. For non-French speakers, one of the owners was very friendly in helping explain the menu in English and answer any questions we had. Parking was easy in a large free lot down the street. As there are a number of wild cats on the island, they do make themselves at home and beg for food at your table, so be warned of that. Do not miss this stop!

Food was divine! We loved it. Staff is friendly. Make sure to reserve in advance

Professional staff. They speak English. Menu is in English too. Food was delicious, say thanks to the chef! The place is tiny, but have a lots of table. If you want to eat, go early...later will be full. Atmosphere is unique, for me Caribbean feeling a lot.

We really loved the place and its amazing food and couldn't resist going back for a second dinner during our three days in Deshaies 😀 Merci beaucoup 💛

Do not miss this if you are visiting Deshaies! We had a wonderful dinner here and the atmosphere is nice and interesting. Our server was a true professional who helped us in English and did all he could to make sure we had a great experience.

This is a great Pizza place. We ordered two for takeaway and they were ready in 15 minutes. Delicious!

My friend and I really liked this place for many reasons. They have a good menu selection of salads, appetizers and entrees. We paid more than the average patron because we had drinks and dessert with our meal. The service is unbeatable and the staff is super friendly. We did not know much french but our servers english was much better and they were very patient and helpful. We ate twice at this establishment and were very pleased both times. Five stars all the way. Terry S.

One of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Ordered the pasta bolognese — it was cold, mushy, and completely flavorless. It was microwaved unacceptable! Meat tasted stale, sauce was watery, and the staff couldn’t care less. Save your stomach and your money.

This little restaurant on the water serves up a friendly staff, wonderful cocktails, delicious food and gorgeous sunsets. What more could you ask for? And they tolerated my butchering of the French language and spoke English to ease my pain! A wonderful night. I can't wait to go back!

Ok bit odd for an American, pizza is great they have takeout or eat in, they also have a bar windows for outside. To eat in they generally want a reservation, but they fit us in. Tapas plates are great. They of course speak French but worked hard to figure out what we wanted. Only open very specific hours of day.

This place was highly recommended by our host and he couldn't have been more right. Thier food was fantastic. The beer selection was better than most other places on the island. The wait staff was great and was helpful with the french-english language difference. I highly recommend this place!!

Beautiful views, super kind and warm waitresses, both spoke fair English and were joking friendly. The food was really good and the portion sizes were definitely adequate. Loved it!

Good food and service at reasonable prices. Staff were friendly and patient with my broken french. Neighbour had colombo and i was jealous. But my brochette de poisson was good too albeit a bit dry.

Great meal, excellent service. The waiter was very attentive and did a great job communicating with us, English only for us. We had the Lobster and the conch. The chocolate cake with passion fruit dessert, which we ate to before taking a picture, was AMAZING! Great dinner! Highly recommend a visit if your in Deshaies or nearby.

Dining tables are situated quite literally right on the beach, surrounded by a bay sprinkled with sailboats. Authentic creole food experience. Barbecued chicken, rice, and mashed yucca was good. Personable staff help you relax and enjoy the sunset and twilight. Some staff speak English.

Cozy place and we found it by coincidence during our travel across Basse-Terre. We planned only drink coffee but we stayed for lunch. Very tasty food and nice service. It was a little hard to communicate in English but waitress was nice and helped us a lot.

Great creole food. Next to the beach you find this real gem, also visited by locals. Friendly service. Also our vegetarian son liked his rice with sautéed vegetables.

Great service, excellent food — the tuna fish and the lamb are delicious — and the atmosphere is genuine and warm. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Guadeloupe!

We just popped in and we were seated without waiting. We loved the family vibe of the restaurant. All the staff was friendly and smiling.

Fantastic place. Only open for lunch. You can put dingy in their little harbour below restaurant. Excellent views and good food. More expensive than any other restaurants we ate at in Guadalupe.

I love the mixed tastes and to rediscover local vegetables cooked in completely different different ways. The view is splendid as always, still a good spot for local fishermen too who fish from shore, and surely one of the nicest place to enjoy in Deshaies

Beautiful restaurant in a wonderful location. Stunning views and superb food. Everything is home made even the bread and the flavoured butter. Well worth the price but you must book in advance. Very memorable and totally delicious!

First of all we don’t understand why the place has such a low raiting. If you want to go somewhere cheap of course that’s not the place. But the prices are relevant to the service, quality and looks of the food. We’ve had both lunch and dinner there. The food was absolutely fantastic! Tuna tartare was the best we’ve eaten so far and the aged beef steak for two was mouth watering. The whole restaurant is absolutely beautiful and unique. Wonderful views. The owners are full of passion and taste. What we also loved was the fact that they’ve had our favouite Rimapere wine :) If you are in Guadelupe and looking for a special place for special ocassion or just gourmet lunch/dinner - this is the place to go! Remember to book a table in advance, especially for the evening.

Wonderful food coupled with beautiful views of the Deshaies harbour. Well worth the price.

Huge disappointment. Location is very nice, food may be good, but staff is so rude and aggressive that ruins it all .. it seems they do a favour to you. Also, not the slightest effort to speak English.

Excellent lunch, the best meal we had in Deshaies. What sets this place above the other good local restaurants (apart from its wonderful view of the harbor) is the creativity behind the menu and preparations. Service was friendly and attentive. Recommended: Tahitian ceviche, crevette ravioli, chocolate tart (decadent; to be shared). Reservations a must, as we watched them turn away several groups. And reserve as early as possible; prime tables by the window and on the deck appear to be allocated in the order that bookings are received

Any valuation of this beach really depends on what you are willing to do. If you intend to swim you need some courage and experience with hefty waves. I was at this beach twice and decided not to chance it. So did most of the people staring at the water. There is also a price tag associated with parking as it's not a free public parking. Nevertheless it tends to be quite crowded.

Very nice beach, wide and long, very pretty! Water was steep and waves are strong, could also use a little more shade.

We came in the afternoon hoping there would be less people and more parking...no such luck, but we managed. The beach is one of the most scenic that we've been to in Guadeloupe and well worth it. Unfortunately we were staying about an hour from here and the drive was so twisty and steep none of us were willing to do it again. I would recommend staying in this area if a great beach is a must.

This is a great beach but please be aware this can be dangerous. The beach itself is sandy and a very steep angle so the rollers coming in pretty much bounce back on to the next incoming wave. So every so often these crash into each other giving a spectacular explosion of water, but, if your in the bad spot when it happens....well people have been seriously hurt here. Great amenities nearby with everything you could need for your visit including large coconut trees and almond trees offering cover.

This is likely the most beautiful beach on the west side of Basse Terre. A long stretch of sand, quite different in color than in Grande Terre. Not really for kids as the water gets deep quite fast and there are waves. You need to be careful when getting out of the water so you don't get pulled in back. We only went there at the end of the day, but will surely visit it if we come back. Plenty of parking found there.

A beach as you see in the movies. White Sand, blue water and palm trees. There is plenty of room in the shade to sit down. There are toilets and showers. Unfortunately the restaurants at the beach are partially closed or have unclear opening times, so it might be worth it to bring some snacks.

So far my favorite beach in Guadeloupe- the one that with clear water allowing you to see underwater! Go toward the right side of the beach near the rock area to have better scenic under water.

Beautiful, clean and quiet beach. It was our favorite during our vacation

Loved the beach and tranquility

Beautiful beach with toilet and shower facilities. Great bars and restaurants around the area also 🏝️

A huge beach with clean and white sand. Sea is calm, the beach is especially indicated for families or non swimming persons. Water is cristal clear. Bathing here provides with a great view of the bay. Some beach restaurants and ice cream sellers are here.

Most beautiful beach in Guadeloupe

Top

(Translated by Google) One of the best beaches this side of the universe 😉 No exaggeration! The only drawbacks that aren't beach-related: no restrooms and paid parking. Otherwise, it's the perfect beach on Earth. Parents with children should be careful, though! (Original) Une des meilleures plages de ce côté-ci de l'Univers 😉 Sans exagérer ! Seuls bémols qui ne sont pas dus à la plage : WC absents et parking payant. Autrement, c'est la Plage rêvée sur Terre. Les Parents avec Enfants doivent toutefois être vigilants !

An absolute treasure! Beautiful views, clean and modern room, nice balcony and a very good restaurant (Kawa) that gives a much more special food and service that your average local restaurants. The breakfast was much better than expected with the staff preparing different omelettes, bacon and sausages upon request and there was fruit, joghurts, bread, sweet/salty pastries etc. But the best part was the staff: The hotel's director Franck was the most kind and helpful hotel owner I've ever met. Also the house maids and the people helping during the breakfast were so nice. Sure the staff's English skills were limited but everything was still doable (e.g. with the help of google translate. The only things that shouöd be improved is the wifi as it mostly works near the restaurant but not usually inside the rooms. But still, we had such a great time!

Fantastic place. Beautiful views and Franck the host is very nice. Good food too!

Really nice laid back place, offering cooking facilities, and a nice pool and jacuzzi.

Ok!

The place to be a Deshaies!

(Translated by Google) Sorry, dear owner. But even on your website and here on Google you can see photos of the described house/apartment Tropical, from the outside and above. It's right next to the pool. And on the wall of the house, right next to the parking lot, the name of the facility is written. Booked through Airbnb, it worked well. From the outside it is a beautiful complex with a pool, sun loungers, parasols and washing machine for everyone. Car required as the mountain is steep. Parking spaces available. Different levels in the small area where the houses/apartments are scattered around. We had a tiny house/studio called “Tropical”, located on the ground floor, with a kitchen, anteroom and bathroom on the ground floor, a bedroom with air conditioning on the upper floor, with a spiral staircase. Upstairs there is an exit from the bedroom to a terrace, which unfortunately has neither a parasol, sun sail or other shade, so it is unusable because the sun is beating down. Sun loungers are available on the terrace. At the entrance to the house there is a small courtyard. Unfortunately no seating facilities. In the evenings you could see the rats walking around in our tiny yard. The kitchen equipment is OK. Unfortunately, not all windows have fly screens. Shower a bit moldy, bathroom hardly any storage space. The interior of the house is already showing its age. Iron, ironing board available. I would say the facility exists and is being booked because Deshaies is simply beautiful. A renovation wouldn't hurt, especially of the interior. Stay in December 2022 (Original) Sorry, sehr geehrter Inhaber. Aber sogar auf Ihrer Website und hier auf Google sieht man Fotos von dem beschriebenen Haus/Apartment Tropical, von außen und oben. Es liegt genau neben dem Pool. Und an der Hauswand, direkt bei Parkplatz, ist der Name der Anlage geschrieben. Gebucht über Airbnb, hat gut geklappt. Es ist eine von außen betrachtet, schöne Anlage mit Pool, Sonnenliegen, Sonnenschirmen und Waschmaschine für alle. PKW erforderlich, da steil am Berg. Stellplätze vorhanden. Unterschiedliche Niveaus auf dem kleinen Areal, wo verstreut die Häuschen/Apartments liegen. Wir hatten ein Tinyhouse/Studio namens „Tropical“, gelegen im Erdgeschoss, mit Küche, Vorraum und Bad im EG, Schlafzimmer mit Klimaanlage im Obergeschoss, mit Wendeltreppe. Oben ist vom SZ ein Ausgang auf eine Terrasse, die leider weder Sonnenschirm, Sonnensegel oder sonst einen Schattenspender hat, daher unbrauchbar, weil die Sonne runterbrennt. Sonnenstühle sind auf der Terrasse vorhanden. Beim Eingang ins Häuschen ist ein kleiner Innenhof. Leider ohne Ausstattung zum Sitzen. Abends sah man die Ratten rumspazieren in unserem minikleinen Hof. Die Küchenausstattung ist OK. Leider nicht an allen Fenstern Fliegengitter. Dusche schon etwas angeschimmelt, Bad kaum Ablagefläche. Das Innere des Häuschens ist schon in die Jahre gekommen. Bügeleisen, Bügelbrett vorhanden. Ich würde sagen, die Anlage existiert und wird gebucht, weil Deshaies einfach traumhaft schön ist. Eine Renovierung würde nicht schaden, besonders der Innenräume. Aufenthalt im Dezember 2022

(Translated by Google) Negatives aside, we enjoyed our stay here. The bedding is comfortable, and if we omit the large roof of a building obstructing 1/3 of the view of the water, the sunsets were sumptuous. The drop-down shutters are perfect and allow you to feel a little safe (when you are there AND not there for that matter). The excessively harsh note is to draw the owners' attention to the negative points. I find that we're making fun of the client ("let's take the agent of the good tourist, and the rest doesn't matter") In the description it is indicated: “soundproof rooms”! Totally lying. VERY poorly soundproofed. We are careful not to tell you that the room (without airtight window!) overlooks a mega-sloping road, the cars go up there at high speed, you have the impression that the cars/trucks/scooters are entering the room. Not to mention the neighbors above who (by simply living no doubt) make a terrible racket due to the lack of insulation/soundproofing. It is also indicated “private spa”!!! Which doesn't exist... or we haven't been told about it. Bulbs that come out of the wall… without “protection”… lampshades exist, at a very low price what’s more. It feels “not finished”, when you pay the full price, it’s excessive. Since there are openings everywhere, there are also beasts. A frog is fine... a huge cockroach that comes through a big gaping hole under the bathroom sink, a little less cool. We had 3. Creepy. Wifi: TODAY the wifi codes are simplifiable... not necessarily extension codes like FRT7jzk9MMUis65hsoH2 (<~ which by the way is NOT the right code but just as annoying to enter, where it could have simply been "Yippee2024 " For example. Smells of sewage when you are on the terrace… at their strongest in the morning. The swimming pool is no longer accessible from 8 p.m., probably to avoid parties or noise. But it spoils the pleasure of having one. Between responsible adults, we can agree not to make noise, right? Obviously the swimming pool is used by other accommodations (how many?!), this is not specified in the description either. Non-exhaustive list. (Original) Mis à part les points négatifs, nous avons apprécié notre séjour ici. La literie est confortable, et si on omet le grand toit d'un bâtiment obstruant 1/3 de la vue sur l'eau, les couchers de soleil étaient somptueux. Les volets déroulants sont nickels et permettent de se sentir un tantinet en sécurité (quand on est là ET pas là d'ailleurs). La note sévère démesurée est pour attirer l'attention des propriétaires sur les points négatifs. Je trouve qu'on se moque un peu du client ("prenons l'agent du bon touriste, et le reste peu importe") Dans le descriptif il est indiqué : « chambres insonorisées »! Totalement mensonger. HYPER mal insonorisé. On se garde bien de vous dire que la chambre (sans fenêtre hermétique!) donne sur une route en mega pente, les voitures y montent en surrégime, on a l’impression que les voitures/camions/scooters rentrent dans la chambre. Sans compter les voisins au-dessus qui (en vivant simplement sans doute) font un boucan terrible du au manque d'isolation/insonorisation. Il est également indiqué « spa privatif »!!! Qui n’existe pas... ou on ne nous en a pas parlé. Les ampoules qui sortent du mur… sans « protection »… les abats jours existent, à très petit prix qui plus est. Ça fait « pas fini », quand on paie le prix fort, c’est abusé. Vu qu’il y a des ouvertures de partout, il y a aussi des bêtes. Une grenouille ça va… un cafard énorme qui passe par un gros trou laissé béant sous l’évier de la salle de bain, un peu moins cool. On en a eu 3. Flippant. Wifi : AUJOURD’HUI les codes wifi sont simplifiables… pas obligatoirement des codes à rallonge type FRT7jzk9MMUis65hsoH2 (<~ qui d’ailleurs n’est PAS le bon code mais tout aussi énervant à rentrer, là ou ç’aurait pu être simplement « Youpi2024 » par exemple. Odeurs d’égouts quand on est sur la terrasse… au plus fort le matin. La piscine n'est plus accessible à partir de 20H, surement pour éviter qu'il y ait des fêtes ou du bruit. Mais ca gâche le plaisir d'en avoir une. Entre adultes responsables, on peut s'entendre pour ne pas faire du bruit, non ? Visiblement la piscine est utilisée par d'autres logements (combien ?!), ça n'est pas précisé dans le descriptif non plus. Liste non-exhaustive.

A great beach, it is worth a visit if you stay in this area. You can also snorkel near the rocks and see some nice fish. The trees can help with some shade for your bag and drinks or even yourself if you want to get out of the sun.

Beautiful beach and the filming site of the Inspectors House from Death In Paradise. Some big waves along this section and no lifeguards, so not a great place for swimming.

One of our favs on the whole island!! Amazing soft golden sand, picturesque palms, and a lot of room to spread out. Parking is crowded (as most beaches in Guadeloupe). The waves can be VERY large which my kids loved. If you go right past the waves (not far from the shore at all), you can have a peaceful swim. My kids loved doing the boogie boards and there were other kids there wave skimming. There are bathrooms and water to rinse off. We saw the house from the show Death in Paradise. Had drinks at the restaurant (very good drinks). Such a good day! The restaurant does blare loud music on the beach which we did not mind. If you prefer more quite, there is plenty of space to get away on this beach for a more secluded experience.

Heaven on earth what a view and is the film location for death in paradise on BBC. This was a real treat to visit in person as I have seen this on TV so many times.

Beautiful long stretched beach, great for morning strolls, not too busy this time of year. As in most parts of the west coast of the island, you’ll find calm and respectful tourism that blend in and support the local communities, clear up after themselves on the beach and cherish the paradise Guadeloupe is in the fashion it deserves to be treated. Plage de la perle is one of those places where one is exposed to this once again, and how can that not make you smile.

Beautiful beach with plenty of nice sand and blue water. To find the beach, you pull down a small alley. The parking is the the only downside as there is not much room and it is mostly in sand. There are two restaurants and one food truck as amenities. There are a few gazebos nearby as well. The beach is home to the shack from the show Death in Paradise. It is truly a scenic place and worth the stop.

Wonderful beach with nice cafe/food places. Easy access with parking very close to the beach and beautiful white sand. The beach is also a filming location for the "Death in Paradise" TV series. The house that that Detective lives in is built on the beach each year for filming and then taken down. It would be a wonderful location to have a house on the beach if you really could.

Wonderful beach. Not crowded at all in the morning.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent bay, between two cliffs, with a shaded forest area at the entrance. It is accessed by walking 10 minutes along an easy track, from the parking lot which is on an embankment, next to the road. The beach is not officially nudist, but it is common to see naked people. What in France they call "tolerated." (Original) Bahía magnífica, entre dos acantilados, con una zona de bosque a la sombra en la entrada. Se accede andando 10 minutos por una pista fácil, desde el aparcamiento que está en un terraplén, junto a la carretera.. La playa no es oficialmente nudista, pero es habitual ver a gente desnuda. Lo que en Francia llaman "tolerado".

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful beach! Quite a bit of swell though. (Original) Très belle plage! Pas mal de houle toutefois.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent little-crowded cove, the waves are impressive, few people dare to venture there yet once past the wave of the short break, the most daring will have fun like crazy. Not at all suitable for children, people who are unsure of themselves or not used to it or who are not sporty but it is definitely worth a look and to stay there for a while and relax there. Easy and quick access (shoes or flip-flops)! (Original) Magnifique anse peu fréquentée, les vagues sont impressionnantes, peu de personnes n'osent s'y aventurer pourtant une fois passé la vague du short break, les plus téméraires s'amuseront comme des petits fous. Pas du tout adapté pour les enfants, les personnes peu sûres d'elles ou non habituées ou non sportives mais ça vaut vraiment le coup d'œil et d'y rester quelques temps s'y prélasser. Acces facile (chaussures ou tongs) et rapide !

(Translated by Google) Uncrowded beach but just MAGNIFICENT. We didn't swim there but the look was worth the detour. (Original) Plage peu fréquentée mais juste MAGNIFIQUE. Nous ne s'y sommes pas baignés mais le coup d'œil valait le détour

(Translated by Google) Just magnificent!!! Very isolated, not even 5 minutes from the parking lot. Ideal for taking beautiful photos (Original) Juste magnifique !!! Très isolée a même pas 5 mn du parking. Idéale pour prendre de belles photos

(Translated by Google) Very pretty beach, a little strong swell for my young children (Original) Très jolie plage houle un peu forte pour mes enfants en bas âge

Amazing food, great ambiance. Thank you !!

(Translated by Google) The service is fabulous! The two waitresses and the owner are unparalleled kindness! As for the cuisine, what can I say: the fisherman salad was, I think, one of the best dishes I ate on the island! Great value for money! As for the setting: you are in a heavenly place! I highly recommend! (Original) Le service est fabuleux ! Les deux serveuses et la patronne sont d’une gentillesse inégalée ! Quand à la cuisine que dire : la salade pêcheur a été je pense l’un des meilleurs plats que j’ai mangé sur l’île ! Rapport qualité prix au top ! Quand au cadre : vous êtes sur un endroit paradisiaque ! Je recommande fortement !

Extremely unfriendly staff - there are better choices next doors.

(Translated by Google) A perfect experience with your feet in the sand! An exceptional setting on Pearl Beach, feet in the sand and a breathtaking view of the sea which is worth the 5th star. Impossible to be closer to the water! As for the cuisine, everything is well prepared with typical Guadeloupean dishes. The fries are homemade, just like the desserts, and it shows! The service is impeccable, with a smiling and warm welcome. Very good value for money: €70 for two for an aperitif, a main course and a dessert. An address not to be missed to savor Guadeloupe in a dream setting! NB: No sanitary facilities in the restaurant, you have to use the public toilets (very poorly maintained and without a sink) on the beach. Fortunately there is a hand sink in the restaurant (Original) Une expérience parfaite les pieds dans le sable ! Un cadre exceptionnel sur la plage de la Perle, les pieds dans le sable et une vue imprenable sur la mer qui vaut la 5eme étoile. Impossible d’être plus près de l’eau ! Côté cuisine, tout est bien préparé avec des plats typiquement guadeloupéens. Les frites sont faites maison, tout comme les desserts, et ça se sent ! Le service est impeccable, avec un accueil souriant et chaleureux. Un très bon rapport qualité-prix : 70€ à deux pour un apéritif, un plat et un dessert. Une adresse à ne pas manquer pour savourer la Guadeloupe dans un cadre de rêve ! NB : Aucun sanitaire dans le restaurant, il faut utiliser les wc publics (très mal entretenu et sans lavabo) de la plage. Heureusement il y a un lave-main dans le restaurant

(Translated by Google) We sat at “Ti Poisson la” to drink a cocktail with our feet in the sand facing the sea, after a beach session. Well we got some! Charming welcome with a smile from our waitress. Non-alcoholic Piña colada for Madame and coconut punch for me. Divine ! The addition of fresh grated coconut brings a subtle taste to these homemade cocktails. At the same time, we enjoyed an equally sublime homemade coconut flan. A delicious address! (Original) Nous nous sommes posés au " Ti poisson la " pour boire un cocktail les pieds dans le sable face à la mer, après une séance de plage. Et bien nous en a pris ! Charmant accueil tout en sourire de notre serveuse. Piña colada sans alcool pour Madame et punch coco pour moi. Divin ! L'ajout de noix de coco fraîche râpée apporte un goût subtil à ces cocktails maison. Dans la foulée, nous avons savouré un flan coco maison tout aussi sublime. Une délicieuse adresse !

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant little place with a smile, you will always be well received, very businesslike person, I recommend the food is excellent. (Original) Petit endroit fortement agréable avec le sourire vous serez toujours bien accueilli personne à très commerçante je recommande la cuisine est excellente

(Translated by Google) We just sat down to enjoy a cocktail while the sun set. Very friendly welcome. Top location. (Original) On s'est juste posé pour savourer un cocktail pendant le coucher de soleil. Accueil très sympa. Emplacement au top

Worst food and service I’ve had in the whole of Guadeloupe. Over 2h to eat, super small quantity of actual food (compared to the rest of Guadaloupe and price), they only serve rice!!! The accras are a joke… only 2!!!! The mains tasted like s*** and the banana dessert had so much rum my 9yo nephew couldn’t even eat it… and they charged us more than it said in the menu!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID And to top everything, the woman in charge of the restaurant parked in front of 3 cars, and we and 2 others had to wait well over 30mins (honking the entire time) until she came to move it… I could not believe it… NEVER AGAIN

A eviter / avoid this place. Rude and impolite staff. Awful food.

(Translated by Google) Even though the service is a bit slow, it's definitely worth staying. The waitresses are very nice. The fritters and fish were excellent, and the flambéed banana was delicious. (Original) Même si le service est un peu long ça vaut vraiment le coup de rester. Les serveuses sont très gentilles. Les acras et poisson étaient excellents et la banane flambée était succulente

(Translated by Google) Small friendly restaurant on Grande Anse, very competitive price! On the other hand, very slow service…Arrived at 12:10 p.m. my dish was served at 1:20 p.m. and I didn't even have time to have my dessert. Regarding the food: -Accras excellent (20min to receive them anyway) but only 2 on the plate -Grilled fish cooked carefully, well seasoned but I would have preferred a Creole sauce with pieces of onion and spice rather than a mixed sauce -Rice with an earthy taste (I think it's the quality of the rice itself and not the cook's fault) -Dessert: I initially had a banana flambé but given the wait I preferred to leave without it, one of the waitresses still served me 2 scoops of ice cream to take away. In summary, well-mastered Creole cuisine, but service that is much too slow, without rhythm, a real shame. (Original) Petit restaurant sympathique sur grande anse,prix très compétitif!En revanche service très lent…Arrivé a 12h10 mon plat a été servi a 13h20 et je n’ai même pas eu le temps de prendre mon dessert .Concernant la nourriture: -Accras excellent(20min pour les recevoir quand meme) mais que 2 dans l’assiette -Poisson grillé cuit a soin, bien assaisonné mais j’aurai préférer une sauce creole avec des morceaux d’oignon et d'épice plutôt qu’une sauce mixé -Riz avec un goût de terre(je pense que c’est la qualité du riz en lui même et non pas la faute du cuisinier) -Dessert:J’avais pris initialement une banane flambée mais vue l’attente j'ai préféré partir sans, une des serveuse m’a quand meme servis 2 boules de glace à emporter. En résumé une cuisine creole bien maîtrisée , mais un service beaucoup trop lent, sans rythme, vraiment dommage.

(Translated by Google) I don't understand the reviews. We wanted to enjoy the beach then have lunch, the menu was good, the staff very friendly. Very very good quality/price ratio! And we actually arrived outside peak hours, and were served very quickly. The meals were very good!! (Original) Je ne comprends pas les avis. Nous voulions profiter de la plage puis déjeuner, la carte était bien, le personnel très sympa. Très très bon ratio qualité/prix ! Et nous sommes effectivement arrivés hors heures de pointe, et avions été servis très rapidement. Les repas étaient très bons !!

(Translated by Google) Don't take the rather low average rating into account. Sure, there's a bit of a wait (like everywhere in Guadeloupe), but the food is absolutely delicious, and the restaurant stayed open until late (5-6 p.m.) to serve us takeaway food when everyone else was closed. (Original) Ne prenez pas en compte la moyenne d'avis assez basse. Certes il y a un peu d'attente (comme partout en Guadeloupe) mais surtout la cuisine est tout à fait bonne et le restaurant est resté ouvert jusque tard (17h-18h) pour nous servir à emporter alors que tous les autres étaient fermés.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant welcome and waitresses. The service is fast, the dishes are authentic and super tasty. We couldn't find anything better just a stone's throw from the beach. I recommend booking in advance. This isn't a fast food restaurant, but a restaurant. (Original) Accueil et serveuses très agréable. Le service est rapide, les plats sont authentiques et super bons. Nous n'avons pas trouvé mieux à deux pas de la plage. Je vous conseille de réserver à l'avance. Ce n'est pas un fast-food mais un restaurant.

What a great place. The best pizza we had in Guadeloupe! The service was very good, nice and friendly people. Great atmosphere. A lot of locals, which is always a good sign about the quality of the food.

Really one of the best pizzas I've ever had and at a reasonable price, especially for Guadeloupe. So don't be surprised if you see a bunch of people waiting for their food - most of them take it away, as there aren't many tables and chairs on site. The location is inviting and the owners are nice and friendly - the high rating is absolutely justified.

Despite arriving at 8 pm - so 2 hours before closing time - they wouldn't seat us or let us wait. And it didn't look that busy. Ate instead at the wonderful Stad Grill across the street. Complacent owners I guess.

Amazing pizza! There were so many delicious options - we had the Hawaiian and Mélina. We will be back.

absolute tasty pizza served by kind personal in a nice beach bar like restaurant near the street. easy parking, fair price.

We took to go. The pizzas were delicious and the service great! Will come again and next time we will stay to eat. I highly recommend.

Best place to have pizza and drinks!

We had lunch here and we ate the guadaloupean lobster. It was the best I’ve had in my life. It was beautiful prepared on the grill and the smoky flavour it added to it was divine. Our server, Cédric, was friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back here and I highly recommend it to everyone

We arrived late for lunch around 15 o'clock, being the only guests and asked whether they still have warm kitchen. After our order they restarted the grill and within 30 minutes they served us awesome food and generous portions. The whole staff was welcoming as well.

The waiter ran out to the street to drag us into the restaurant, showed us the amazing looking grill and fish, told us about their special way of preparaion, then we sat down and noone came to even get us a bit of water for 30+ minutes. Given there were less than 10 people in the whole restaurant (+ staff) we left. The food and drinks looked good. Maybe some other time?

This is like the platonic ideal of a Caribbean restaurant. The food, the hospitality, the ambience are all just top notch. Any restaurant would be lucky to have a team like this: even when the restaurant is jam packed, the front-of-house team goes the extra mile to build rapport with each table. They also speak English without hesitation. Marlin, ray, lobster... La Salamandre has one of the more extensive fish menus on Guadeloupe. Charcoal grilling is the standard cooking method here. The quality and presentation are finessed, which is reflected in above-average but not inflated prices. You need to allow plenty of time here - there's only so fast a charcoal smoker can cook, so when the restaurant is full it can take around an hour to receive the food. Reservations are always a good idea here as it is so popular.

Surprisingly good food on the beach. Recommend!

(Translated by Google) We had an absolutely perfect time at La Salamandre restaurant in Deshaies! The setting is simply idyllic, with a warm atmosphere and close to a magnificent beach. The welcome was very friendly, the staff attentive and really friendly. And what can we say about the dishes... a real treat from start to finish! Fresh products, local flavors sublimated with finesse. We ate super well, it was beyond our expectations. We recommend this restaurant 100%, a place not to be missed in Guadeloupe! (Original) Nous avons passé un moment absolument parfait au restaurant La Salamandre à Deshaies ! Le cadre est tout simplement idyllique, avec une ambiance chaleureuse et près d’une magnifique plage. L’accueil a été très convivial, le personnel est aux petits soins et vraiment sympathique. Et que dire des plats… un vrai régal du début à la fin ! Des produits frais, des saveurs locales sublimées avec finesse. Nous avons super bien mangé, c’était au-delà de nos attentes. Nous recommandons ce restaurant à 100 %, une adresse à ne pas manquer en Guadeloupe !

(Translated by Google) Top service, the waiters take the time to give advice and chat with you! The service is fast (compared to the very slow service of other restaurants on the island) We had a colombo and a sea couscous, the broth was excellent and the colombo very well seasoned. Certainly one of the best restaurants we have had on the island. (Original) Service au top, les serveurs prennent le temps de donner des conseils et de discuter avec vous ! Le service est rapide ( comparé au service très lent des autres restaurants de l’île) Nous avons pris un colombo et un couscous de la mer, le bouillon était excellent et le colombo très bien assaisonné. Sûrement l’un des meilleurs restaurant que nous avons fait sur l’île.
