What's this trip about?

    Located in the Caribbean as a part of the French Antilles, Guadeloupe island impresses with its tropical flair, natural diversity and picturesque beaches. There are a lot of things you could do: visit the active volcano ""la Soufrière,"" the rum distillery, or even go swimming in the hot springs "Bassin de Bains Jaunes”! In case you prefer to swim and snorkel in the sea, you should not miss the beach ""Plage de la Datcha"". Furthermore, the small island off the coast ""La Désirade"", how Columbus called it, also has stunning white beaches. Those who are longing for a tropical paradise as well as white beaches with palm trees without missing cultural sites should definitely travel to Guadeloupe and discover the colorful culture of this island.

Accommodation

You will be accommodated in a bungalow (2 nights) and in a charming 2-star hotel:

Though it's located in pristine nature on the Anse à l'Ane beach in the Trois Ilets, this hotel offers easy access to stores, restaurants, and entertainment. Its bungalows are directly on the beach. You'll have an unobstructed view of Fort de France.

You'll stay in a Creole-style two-room apartment for 4 people with a seaside view: a room with a double bed, living room (with a two-person foldout sofabed), bathroom with shower and toilets, fully-equipped kitchen which opens onto a terrace with a view of the sea, television, air conditioning.

Linen changed every 4 days.

There is a shuttle boat from the hotel to Fort de France.

The optional breakfast is served at the time of your choice in your accommodation.

The establishment may be under renovation during your stay, but this should not disturb your stay.

The 2-star hotel is located in the small fishing village of Le Prêcheur (in northern Martinique) and offers a choice of atypical accommodation in a blossoming resort with a splendid view of the Mont-Pelée Volcano. Nestling between the Caribbean Sea, the island's interior, and Saint-Pierre, it is a true Garden of Eden.

It offers 16 well-equipped rooms ( one or two-room apartments with kitchenette). It is located at the seaside and offers guests an outdoor pool, a fitness room, a garden, air conditioning, a library, laundry service, a safe deposit box at the reception, a meeting room, a playground, additional beds and cribs (free of charge), and breakfast on demand.
