We arrived at the Hotel in the evening. The young lady at Reception was very friendly and helpful. The Reception area is like a counter / booth and not very impressive as an hotel reception desk. The area seemed very dated and dull. The garden that you walk through to get to your room is very pleasant as the flowers and plants gave it a tropical feel but it was fairly dark around the path. The corridor to our room was stark and with the arches that went along the wall you are able to see the pool area. As it was dark I was a little concerned that anyone could be lurking behind an arch as you're entering your room. The room was really very basic. Very old with rattan style furniture that have seen better days. After the long flight I sat on the sofa and suddenly a cockroach ran from underneath the sofa towards the coffee table. The shower was great. The pressure was really good and after the issues and delays with Air France, the long waits & flights from Europe to Guadeloupe; having a good shower was most welcoming. The bathroom itself was dated. The pillows in the room were really small for what looked like a king size bed. They looked more like cushions than pillows. There was only one thin sheet, no blankets and the AC thermostat couldn't be moved to make the room a bit warmer - the room was extremely cold. The bed was comfortable and we were able to get a decent night's sleep. The restaurant was closed although based on the time it should have been open. We decided to try and find something to eat. The area around the hotel was very dark, with not much pavement for walking, not enough street lights and the few that they had were not very bright. The hotel is located around 20 minutes from the airport with the evening traffic. The cost of the one night's stay for this basic hotel was around USD200. Definitely not worth the 4* rating.
