HOTEL BOIS JOLI

HOTEL BOIS JOLI

8/10 Good
"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."

"Rolland et sont épouse nous ont réservé un excellent accueil. Le logement correspond à la description et ramène aux decorations authentique des maisons des aînés guadeloupéens. Point de vigilance : une arrivée non autonome qui oblige un maintien du contact et une attente de l'hôtel sur place. Je le remercie de sa disponibilité vu le retard de mon vol. L'accès au logement avec de nombreux escaliers sont à prendre en compte si enfants en bas âges ou personnes a mobilité reduite. J'ai apprécié: les mangues misent à disposition."
