Residence Turquoise Guadeloupe

Cecile the check in reception is very sweet, but only on-site a few hours a Day, Hotel is like an older vacation rental. The balcony with ocean view is well worth the compromise at the price point though. In room signs asking for a 10AM check out and a 25 Euro cleaning fee are not consistent with the Hotels.com booking or expectations, and thus makes the property a bit confusing and adds unneeded stress. Simply put it is Bush league. Put the right directions (11AM check out and no cleaning fee) in the room when hotel reservations come through.

Fantastisk utsikt från balkongen, men trafiken nedanför var mycket störande. Sovrummet låg innerst i lägenheten och där var man inte störd av trafiken

Location of this condo within walking distance of the local beach was great. Bakery, bank and tourist office were within walking distance. Supermarket a short drive away. However, the lack of water pressure and parking on the street in a congested area were a challenges.

It had a great view, good location to the beach and resturants. Had a kitchen for preparing meals. Could of had a coffee/tea cup and dish soap for cleanup.There were limited hours of office hours and check in was difficult. The najor drawback was the noise of cars on the street so sitting on the balcony was never pleasant. It was asumed that I had a working phone to call at check-in. People coming from out of country don’t have access to a ohone to call the manager so as to check in after hours. Quite frustrating.

Belle vue sur l'ilet du Gosier, appartement spacieux et fonctionnel Seul bémol, le manque de pression au niveau de la douche et de l'évier, mais la responsable de la résidence s'est montrée extrêmement serviable.

Very basic hotel with no cleaning during our six night stay. Too little toilet paper and soap, though we were given more when we asked. Sewer smells very apparent. The view, however, was stunning and the lady in charge was very pleasant.

We arrived at 8:30pm as planned to the hotel. We found no one was available and the front door was locked. Finally, one guest came down and talked to us. He called the emergency number and no one answered and we sat on the street for two hours without access to the room I called Expedia customer service at least four time but no one could help. Finally, after two hours waiting, one Expedia supervisor arranged a room for us. We had to drive 20 miles to another hotel to spend a night. Overall, really bad experience. Next day, the property manager explained that there were emails sent to Expedia what to do after we arrive. We had received no emails from Expedia and hence a major inconvenience to start our vacation in paradise.

La struttura e' piuttosto Obsoleta e trasandata , la reception c'e' solamente per alcune ore al giuorno e l'addetta parla solamente francese (e la cosa e' piuttosto ridicola , visto che nessuno degli ospiti era francese) . Detto questo , il residence e' in una ottima posizione , con un panorama strepitoso , vicino alla spiaggia ( una delle piu' belle dell'isola), in una posizione tranquilla . Nelle vicinanze ci sono tutti i servizi essenziali . E' necessario essere muniti di auto . La Guadalupa e' un luogo veramente magnifica , ha spiaggie spettacolari, pulitissime e ben accessibili. La natura e' bellissima , il clima (ci sono stato a Gennaio) e' magnifico . Unico handicap , un traffico intenso e piuttosto caotico , specialmente nei pressi dei centri abitati.

The town of Gosier where this residence hotel is suffers from chronic water shortages and restrictions, ongoing for several years. During our stay we were totally without water for four 12 hour periods over 6 days. Apparently, this is not unusual - read the online reports of the local municipality's meetings about this issue - you will see the locals complaining bitterly about this problem for years. Even during "normal" water supply periods, there was barely enough water to have a shower, maybe because out unit was on the top floor of a 4 story building. The two level unit we had has no air-con on the upper sleeping level, no windows at all (!) and no roof vent to let out the heat, so even in late December, it is impossible to sleep up there. It was 34-38 degrees C in the mornings - and over 40 C by late afternoon. The street outside is a main road, with lots of traffic and noise. The unit itself has a nice view of the harbour, but the tiny balcony (which is 50% occupied by a heavy granite table) is pretty much unusable. You can do much better elsewhere for about the same price. Look into Deshais (on western side of the island), or Saint-Anne, or Saint Francois. Avoid this place.

The biggest negative about this hotel is that the water gets turned off in the entire neighborhood for 18 hours at a time every few days. No one told us about this. Imagine our surprise! This would’ve been nice to know. Also, the batteries in the remote for the air-conditioner did not work. And once the water was turned back on, the toilet leaked. Little things really do make a difference on vacation. One more thing: the staff informed us just before we got there they would be on vacation for the week we were there. We therefore had no one to whom to voice our concerns.
