Tropical Lodges … Le Gosier

We stayed in this place for 10 days. We were a bit anxious when we booked because there was a single review and only a few pictures. By the time we got here, the reviews confirmed we had made a great choice. Beatrice started sharing information with us just before out flight took off. When we got there, she welcomed us with her son and explained everything to us. She gave us quick tips and which beach to visit the next morning. Throughout our stay she was always responsive, even at 7AM or 9PM. You can clearly see she spent a lot of time decorating the villas. Everything was amazing. The bed was soft and we had no trouble sleeping. The kitchen is fully stocked. You have a fridge with a freezer, induction plate, oven, microwave, washing machine, tea kettle, coffee machine. This year there’s an unusually high amount of mosquitoes. We had several devices and a spray against them and with what we brought ourselves from home, we kept the bites to a minimum. The location is ideal for visiting the entire island. You are at most an hour away from everything. Plage de datcha is 10 minutes away, Caravelle is 15 minutes away, St Anne is 15-20 minutes. During the last two days of our stay we had a major problem. Both Beatrice and her husband, Joel, reacted quickly and did everything in their power to help us out. Furthermore, even though the checkout was at 1PM, we stayed until 3PM at no extra charge. In such places, they say the hosts make the difference. This is so true here. Thank you Beatrice and Joel for helping us out and making our stay memorable! Tip: there’s a banana tree in the garden and the bananas were almost ripe now.
