La Creole Beach Hotel and Spa in Guadeloupe

Turquoise lagoons, white sandy beaches, tropical forest and pink sunset are a part of the magical setting of the Guadeloupe islands, one of the last unspoiled havens in the Caribbean. Facing the sea and the mountains, The Creole Beach Hotel & Spa, surrounding by a beautiful tropical garden, is the perfect place to enjoy the slow Caribbean life that we are all looking for on... Follow me !

The salty sea enters the lobby, birds sing everywhere, a charming waitress brought me a fresh fruit cocktail in the outdoor bar… That's how the Creole Beach Hotel and Spa welcome their guest on their arrival day after a long flight. Near the restaurant, the wind steers some banana trees and palm trees laiden with coconuts. The tropical flowers, contrasted by the blue of the pool, are so beautiful to observe. A few steps away, the iguanas and colibrie birds seem to enjoy the same view. Not a single tree is cut down. The charm is on. Welcome home in Guadeloupe !

The creole room

Hanging wicker lights, a creole painting on the wall, a king size bed for my long legs ... With no excess decorations, each room of the hotel recreates the warm atmosphere of a comfortable Caribbean log cabin. Right in front of the blue lagoon or facing the pool or the garden, you will enjoy to bask in the sun and admire the beautiful sunsets. While residing at the hotel, learn a new water sport, snorkel with tropical fish, get a tan by the pool, eat local grilled fish at the restaurant or get a relaxing massage surrounded by vegetation at la Creole Spa.

Le Zawag

Facing the lagoon sea, the Zawag restaurant is a premier dining destination for both locals and visitors, serves gourmet French-Creole cuisine with a delicious contemporary twist. I enjoy a tender “court-bouillon” of codfish and its assortment of yellow yams and scented bananas, accompanied by an exotic cocktail with bluish hues. Not to mention the coconut side and its mango package, to finish smoothly. Another speciliaty of the house, the lobster that is observed from the terraced aquarium, to savor grilled with a traditional spicy creole sauce … just delicious !

La Route des Epices

In the evening, I went to the Route des Epices, another hotel restaurant nestled by the swimming pool and palm trees. Creole, Italian and Mediterranean dishe… a true crossroads of flavours can be found on the menu. I ate the traditional “Chiquetaille” of cod, fresh cucumber and sweet local tomatoes for a refreshing starter. Then a delicious fricassee of prawns, comes with a pumpkin mash (giromon peyi in creole) for a full on local dish.

At breakfast, local fruits are deliciously honoured. Fresh mango, banana, guava, passion fruit, melon, watermelon, pineapple ... I had it all ! Looking for a natural boost in the morning ? Ask for a fresh smoothie with the extractor, mixed with carrot or fresh cucumber ... If you cant avoid your morning pancakes or muesli, add some local hams on top of it, it’s so good !

Welcome to Guadeloupe

Welcome to Guadeloupe, the place I was born. I always go back there and find myself in places that are so special for me. I'd like to share with you some new vibring spots who inspired me the most. Caribbean islands change... not as much as big cities... but that's why we love them.
