“Amazing beach holiday and great food”

I was here for a week in March with my mother, so it's a bit late review, but hopefully still helpful. I loved our stay! Everything was great, our room was nice and clean, fresh towels and bed sheets regularly and also bathrobes. The bed was huge and very comfy, two people could sleep on it just fine without kicking themselves at night. Bathroom was good, it would be nice to have some hand soap holder next to the sink because it was always wet, but that's just a minor thing. On the first day, we had some issue with water leaking from the ceiling, we told the staff and they checked it and needed to fix it, so they gave us new room (in same category) right away, everything was sorted out very quickly in like an hour, which was great and we really appreciated it. We had the room with sea view and it was really worth paying for, I loved the view and the location, it was just few steps to the beach. Beach looks small but is big enough for everyone, water was so clear and warm. Hotel staff would clean the beach every day so the sand was also spotless. There are enough sunbeds and you can get beach towels for a deposit. There are all kinds of animals in the garden and by the beach - iguanas and lizards and lots of different birds. You can book some trips and excursions directly on the beach, nice lady booked a water taxi to the nearby island of Gosier for us. The food was also great and there was quite a lot of variety, I really liked the local cuisine, lots of fruits and vegetables and desserts were amazing. Breakfast was good and I really liked the fresh juices and loved the yoghurt. There were also themed dinners like sea food and creole food. There were welcome cocktails and dancers on the beach in the evening, which was also very nice, then some rhum tasting etc. The concierge was so kind and helpful. Special thanks to Manuela who was so kind and helped us book an amazing boat trip to see whales and dolphins! By the way, most of the staff speaks English and if they did not, they were very patient with our basic knowledge of French language. I would definitely come back, even though Guadeloupe is very far away from my home! Thank you everyone at La Creole Beach!

“Nice resort, a bit dated, location OK”

We stayed here one night before getting on a sailboat for the following week. Overall a nice resort. Very good breakfast buffet with excellent coffee. Staff serving the coffee was comically slow, however. Get ready to wait ~15 minutes while you see many other staff standing there doing nothing but talking with each other. Hotel well situated on the ocean, but this is a man made lagoon that you share with water craft, so no real ability to swim much, and water is cloudy given people, tide and jet skis. So while pretty look at, there is not much interest in going in the water except to cool off. (We stayed at Hotel Fleur D’Epee for one day a week after we got off the boat, and those grounds, pool and location were overall better, however food was quite lacking in quality). We had dinner that evening at the restaurant on site and it was excellent. Every course was fantastic, and the service was also very good. Our ocean front room was basic and dated, but generally fine.

“No AC, if you are American and used to 4/5 star accommodations, this is not it”

If you are an American and are used to 4 star or 5 star accommodations… this isn’t your spot. The AC barely works & the last night our AC didn’t work at all for the entire hotel. We got a suite & there were ants everywhere, no hot water and the room was up stairs while the bathroom was downstairs w… more

If you are an American and are used to 4 star or 5 star accommodations… this isn’t your spot. The AC barely works & the last night our AC didn’t work at all for the entire hotel. We got a suite & there were ants everywhere, no hot water and the room was up stairs while the bathroom was downstairs which is very inconvenient. The restaurants are expensive with very little portions. The staff were good however there is no where to escape for AC in the entire hotel. The breakfast was good however. Room was outdated as well

“Disappointing”

Kitchen, beach bar and restaurant staff are absolutely NOT friendly, except for the youngest waiters and the lady/man behind the egg stand. Food and beverages are overpriced.

Kitchen, beach bar and restaurant staff are absolutely NOT friendly, except for the youngest waiters and the lady/man behind the egg stand. Food and beverages are overpriced. We stayed for a week and the whole time, the pear was closed, without any given reason. The hotel also states to have surfing and kayaking facilities, but for that you need to go to another location. Rooms were ok, except for the shower.. just a flexibel glass on the badside. The whole bathroom floor soaking wet every time someone took a shower.
