Aqua Lodge

The terrace is private, the kitchen sits outdoors, and the room beyond opens onto a garden and a shared pool. Résidences La Métisse holds seven rooms in Saint-François, on the Grande-Terre side of Guadeloupe. Each room measures 30 square metres and takes two adults and two children, with a king-size bed as the anchor of the space. Bathrooms run to walk-in showers, and every room carries air conditioning, wifi and a flat-screen television as standard. Outside, guests cook at their own terrace kitchen or head to the shared pool, where towels are provided. It is a compact stay, built for couples or small families rather than large groups. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be arranged, along with a cocktail bar and a spread of drinks and snacks for the terrace. Car and jet-ski hire can be booked through the property, and staff will help arrange outdoor activities on request. Saint-François itself is a short walk away, with its casino and beaches within easy reach on foot. Parking is on site, and pets are allowed. Check-in runs from 2pm.
