Rêve Et Alizé

The location is amazing (hidden in the tropical rainforest) and the view is outstanding. The price value is remarkable.

Absolute dream, pure jungle on your doorstep, amazing hardwood cottage, peeper frogs and hummingbirds everywhere. Cool in the evening because of the jungle. Good mosquito nets, no problem to sleep at all. Love not having windows. Xavier is a nature fan and showed us around, including to the private waterfall and pool, as well as the main pool which still feels like you are in the jungle anyway. Whole family loved it

The owners who were so helpful and kind. The house had so much character and we saw so much wildlife. Great air conditioning and outdoor shower. The secret waterfall and river!

Having to leave this piece of paradise

It was an amazing and relaxing stay, we will surely come back one day!

Lovely cottage set in an expansive garden. The pool is well kept . Very clean with a lot of attention to detail that shows pride of ownership. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. You can walk to some of the grocery stores and restaurants. There is so much vegetation that you barely see the other guests. The mosquitos were manageable.

Hard to walk to the beach. A car is absolutely necessary but we found that it is like that almost all over Guadeloupe.

We loved the privacy and the nature around the cottage - birds, gekkos and lizards are amazing, and the sound of wind and rain makes you feel you are camping (well, glamping). Everything is very clean, beds are wide and good (proper double, not the french double nonsense) and there are a lot of items in the kitchen etc - we were not short of anything. Obvs you need a car, but there is private parking. Plenty of restaurants, beach shops, fruit shacks walking distance away.

My only problem with this place is that it's very small for two people. I understand that it cannot be made larger, but maybe some space may be freed up by removing various unnecessary items from the room/kitchen, so that the guests have space for their luggage and other items.

Amazing private villa in the beautiful garden, secluded but just a short walk from all the restaurants, shops and beach. Anne and Xavier gave us an incredibly warm welcome and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful while respecting privacy of our home-for-the-week. We will be recommending and hopefully returning to Rêve Et Alizé.

Is in the lush of the jungle with birds, lizzards, etc...

Nothing

We had a wonderful time in paradise! The house we rented was clean, spacious, beautifully decorated and very well equipped - especially the outdoor kitchen. We loved every detail. On the property itself, we could choose between taking a swim in a small waterfall or in the jungle pool that was very well maintained. The owner provided us a great welcome with a fruity surprise in the fridge and great recommendations for eating out. We would definitely love to come back!

The resort is basically inside the national park, which is very enjoyable if you love nature. We got to walk through the tropical forest on the way to our private cottage; we got to feed the small birds (and lizards) on our private terrace every morning; we got the option to hike a few minutes to a little private waterfall where we could swim in fresh water (the water is, of course, colder than in the sea). There was also a well-equipped kitchen, a partly pre-stocked fridge and some complementary alcohol to get is up and running on our first night. Other perks included surprisingly good WiFi, a pool, and as much privacy as you can reasonably expect in a resort. The hosts were welcoming and spoke English, which was a win.

The resort is built in a non-intrusive, eco-friendly way, which on balance is a very good thing. But this also means that the pathways to the cottages are less than ideal for carrying a suitcase, especially since we got a cottage uphill. In addition, the separation between the toilet, the shower, and the bedroom was less than clear-cut (and so was the separation between the inside and the outside, which is part of the experience but may initially come as a surprise). The location of the resort also means a steep 5-minute climb from the coastline (if you're walking). The surrounding area feels reasonably safe and there is some lighting at night, but it certainly did not feel as secure as a gated retreat once we started coming up to the cottage in the dark. The closest amenities are also more than a stone's throw away, with the closest supermarket around 15 minutes away and the closest beach, Malendure, around 30 minutes away on foot. There is another (pebble) beach that the host told us about which is a tad closer and more private, but it also involved hiking up and downhill through a forest. But as long as you prefer being close to nature to the extra comforts of a 5-star hotel, all of these things are an easy trade-off.
