Plage des Salines

I'll say this property was a little piece of heaven because of its proximity to the beach. Moreover, the beach is not saturated with tourists. The apartment itself was well kept. My only complaint is that there was a stain on one of the sheets in the smaller room; next time I'll bring my own sheets. I was also a bit disappointed with the breakfast because there was no protein; you have to pay extra for eggs. Still, the lady responsible for the breakfast was a breath of fresh air, and the croissants and chocolate bread were the best I've ever tasted. I did not meet the owner because I had arrived so late, but his representative, Denis, was courteous and so helpful. You call, and he responds right away. I've fallen in love with Guadeloupe and plan on vacation there every year. And yes, I really love this place; I had a wonderful time. Even my elderly mother enjoys the place because the beach is accessible by car. Touba Manga delivered, and next year I plan on staying there as well. Thank you, Denis, and the Breakfast lady (whom I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot her name) for making my stay so pleasant.

Room and bathroom was beautiful and spacious. Very nice deck area attached to the room with gorgeous views. More breeze than downtown since it's up the hill a little. Walk to rooms is uphilk plus a flight of stairs. Beach is small but has great snorkeling. Large pool and 2 outdoor showers as well as changing rooms. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays which was when we visited. They did however provide the shuttle for free those evenings to access other restaurants. Breakfast was included and excellent: scrambled eggs, a variety of fruits, cheese, ham, a variety of pastries and fruit juices. Lots of ants, which they eventually sprayed but didn't clean up so that was a little gross.

Great experience - close to Malendure beach, nice facilities and a very helpful host. We could both go to restaurants and cook on our own. Nice nature around the house as well. Would definitely use it again.
