Our stay
We enjoyed our stay in Guadeloupe. It is a beautiful island, the water is clean. Our primary goal was snorkeling which was excellent at the Jacques Cousteau marine reserve and a few beaches on Bass Terre but overall the reefs and corals are sadly being affected by climate change.
The condo was spacious and clean although the entire condo complex seemed a little tired, but not a deal breaker. However, there are several things I wish we had known ahead of time that would have been helpful.
The condo is not supplied with toilet paper, dish soap, dishwasher soap, countertop cleaner, bathroom cleaner, paper towels, coffee filters, salt & pepper.
Having beach towels and beach chairs would be a plus. There are no lounge chairs at the pool, we assumed this was due to the wind but it would have been nice to have something to bring down when it wasn't too windy.
The city turns the water off several times a week. Make sure you shower before 9 pm or you won't be able to until 6:30 am. The day we left the water was turned off at 9 am.
There is a lot of traffic, so give yourself an extra half hour to get to the airport.
Most cafes and food trucks close between 3 and 5:30. We could find just 4 restaurants to have dinner at that were within walking distance. On Mondays only the beach restaurant is open.
Helps to be fluent in French there is almost no English
These are some things to be aware of if you plan a trip to Saint Anne. Overall we had a wonderful time it was a great holiday.
