La Metisse is a three-pearl boutique hotel located just outside the popular resort town of St. Francois.

Travelers seeking a beachfront hotel might also consider Bwa Chik Hotel & Golf.

Hotel Residence Golf Village is a three-pearl hotel located outside the town of St. Francois on Grande-Terre. The hotel’s 56 guest rooms, which include studios and villas, are reasonably priced and practical, and most include kitchenettes; however, their dated decor (think flower-patterned bedspreads, sea-foam colored wicker, and white-tile floors) needs some serious updating. The pool is great and rates include a breakfast buffet, but the overall ambience is ho-hum. It’s a convenient base for a golf vacation, with the Golf International de St. Francois a short walk away. Free shuttle service to the beach and downtown St. Francois is available throughout the day -- both are at least a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Travelers may also want to consider Bwa Chik Hotel & Golf for more modern rooms and a significant upgrade in style for a slightly higher rate.

La Cocoteraie is a three-and-a-half-pearl hotel in the resort town of St. Francois on Grande-Terre. The 52 suite-style rooms are beachy but chic, with large living areas and furnished balconies or terraces. With a picturesque pool, an inviting restaurant, and direct beach access, this hotel has a lot of potential, but frequent complaints of cleanliness issues are a letdown, as are the inconsistent hours of the restaurant and bar. Still, the hotel is quite stylish if you’re willing to overlook these details, and its central location puts guests within walking distance of the town’s dining and entertainment. Rates at Bwa Chik Hotel & Golf down the road are usually cheaper, and its facilities are better maintained.

This 10-room, mid-range boutique hotel with rattan-furnished rooms in a plantation-style building is a hilltop oasis, offering a dramatic view of ocean waves crashing against the Guadeloupe shoreline. It's a solid choice for visitors who want to be near all the popular tourist sights in Grand-Terre but want serene retreat at the end of the day. In other words, the rambunctious need not apply -- folks who like the area but also want to rub elbows with other travelers may want to look into the Club Marmara Manganao, a few minutes' drive away. Note that the only beach within walking distance of Hotel Amaudo is strewn with debris, so those seeking a beachfront hotel should consider La Toubana Hotel and Spa outside Sainte-Anne.
