Where to stay in Guadeloupe: most popular cities

Most hotels sit on the eastern island of Grande-Terre, but some destinations are also on Basse-Terre. These are the towns travellers choose most often:

• Pointe-à-Pitre. The main town and transport hub by the airport. The most accommodation across standards and a good starting point.
• Le Gosier. The most popular resort area, with beaches, hotels and spa resorts. The centre of the island's tourist life.
• Sainte-Anne. One of the nicest beaches on the island, with family hotels and small guesthouses.
• Saint-François. A resort with a marina and golf course at the eastern tip of Grande-Terre.
• Deshaies. A quieter area on Basse-Terre, close to the botanical garden and Grande Anse beach.

Nightly rates vary between towns. Here are indicative prices per night for a double room:

What to see in Guadeloupe

The island combines beaches, a volcano and tropical nature, so a plan is easy to build around one region.

• Beaches in Sainte-Anne. Among the nicest on the island, perfect for a sunny holiday.
• The La Soufriere volcano. A two-hour climb to the top with a view of the steaming crater and the whole island.
• Guadeloupe National Park. Lush vegetation, waterfalls and giant ferns on Basse-Terre.
• Snorkelling at Petite Terre. One of the best diving spots, with sea turtles and lemon sharks.
• Local rum. Sugar cane and distilleries with over 300 years of tradition, a tasting is a must.

How much does a trip to Guadeloupe cost

Beyond the room, prices are close to European levels. A restaurant meal is about 10 euros, and dinner at a finer place about 45 euros per person. The euro is used, and in tourist areas US dollars are sometimes accepted. Cards work at larger places, while cash is handy for small purchases. ATMs are common.

When is the best time to visit Guadeloupe

The best time is the dry half of the year, December to May, when it is warm with little rain. August and September are best avoided because of the hurricane season. March is the peak season and the priciest, while May tends to be the cheapest month.
