Great guesthouse almost directly on a wonderful beach with lots of shade. Guesthouse provides beach chairs. Owner was extremely helpful with everything we needed.

I would suggest to have a rental car if staying here, so you are able to explore other things in the area.

It was a perfect place for simple relaxation. 30 metres from a fantastic beach and good beach cafes/restaurants. No TV - a good thing for us. Not for those who want all inclusive luxury and haut-cuisine, but for those wanting authenticity and more sustainable tourism - perfect.

Rest and relaxation guaranteed.

We arrived late, due toto a flight delay, but all the information that we needed was waiting for us.
The proprietor, who we met the next morning, spoke perfect English and updated us on everything that we needed to know.
The gite is about 100yds from an excellent beach; and there was a choice of EIGHT restaurants, a creperie and an ice cream parlour within a 5min walk of the property.
The gite was about 50yds from the main coast road of Basse Terre, which made exploring the island a cinch.
All i all, the place can't be faulted.
5 stars from me.

Great quiet place to stay

Vasco welcomed me warmly with good English when I arrived. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable and the kitchenette was stocked with a few basics. My room had a nice private outdoor area which I didn't use and there were some common areas as well. parking was on the street across the road.

Cozy hotel close to the beach

Room was nice and clean, good size for a couple. Small kitchen with electric stove, fridge,microwave all necessary dishes, silverware and utensils. Small table inside and few tables on the patio. Bed was comfortable but a little squeaky. A/C and internet connection. We were very happy that there was no TV, a perfect place to relax and explore neighborhood.
Very friendly and helpful hotel staff. Beautifully maintained shaded patio. Relaxing atmosphere.
Can borrow beach chairs to take to the beach. Outside shower.

Great location and great service!

I can't say enough good things about our stay at Rose des Vents. The owner, Vasco, is incredibly kind and helpful. We were a little late getting in from our flight and I was worried we would miss check in time, but the hotel is quite small (maybe 10 rooms) and Vasco and his family live on-site so we were able to get in no problem. We had breakfast each morning on the balcony which was a great spread of fresh fruits, juice, yogurt and breads. The hotel is on a dead end street and it's a two minute walk to a beautiful beach. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. We unexpectedly had to move rooms halfway through our stay from a suite to a regular room, but Vasco was incredibly accommodating and refunded the proper amount plus comped us breakfast. My biggest critique is that the second room we stayed in on the first floor wasn't as quite as the suite on the second floor. And also, be ready to wake up early with the roosters that are nearby! Vasco was helpful in helping us to make dinner reservations (we don't speak much French) and also provide recommendations of things to do in the area. My friend and I spent the first half of our trip at Rose des Vents and then went to Saint Francois for the second half. Honestly, I could've done without the second half of the trip. I wish we had stayed here the full week!

Exceptional. The end-all, be-all of budget hotels.

Rose des Vents is about 50 yards from a beautiful beach with clean sand, turquoise water, and pleasant bars serving freshly grilled fish and beer. What's better -- while this beach is beautiful, it is not a major destination on tourist maps, meaning you will have more privacy to enjoy the setting for yourself. Back at the hotel, you can shower outside on a wooden mat, and go back to your clean, quiet room with AC. In our room, a mosquito net wasn't just hanging from one point in a tangled mess, it was installed on the ceiling with broad brackets so that it fell down on all four sides of the bed, creating space fit for a princess. The staff are amazing. Vasco went out of his way to help me work with Expedia when my own plans changed. While this is a budget hotel, the quality of service, cleanliness, and location make this an incredible value and memorable experience -- one I would go back to again and again even if I could afford far more, and one I would recommend to those even who are not price sensitive.

Pleasant Gite close to the beach

The gite was lovely and Vasco our landlord ever helpful. It was situated a few meters from a beautiful beach with small beach huts serving lunch. However, not all of them were open everyday. The main drawback was the fact that there were very few places to eat in the evening.

Beautiful house, excellent owners, authentic restaurants in walking distance, and a gorgeous beach at the end of the road. Shops not so easy unless you have your own transport. I asked the taxi to stop at a supermarket en route and stocked up on essentials. The kitchen facilities are very good. Only slight minus is the wi-fi which only worked on the terrace outside my room.

A great place by the BBC \"Death in Paradise\" beach

This was my second visit to Rose des Vents, and I would highly recommend it. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and the location, right by a simply stunning beach (the one where the BBC programme \"Death in Paradise\" is filmed), couldn't be bettered. The charming town of Deshaies is a short drive away, and is home to some excellent restaurants, and there is a fairly large and well-stocked supermarket a few minutes drive away too. Our room itself was large, clean and comfortable, and the self-catering facilities were perfect for us. All in all, an extremely pleasant place to stay.

Nice hotel with NO RUNNING WATER

I'm disappointed that I paid for the hotel room in advance and then I found out when I arrive that it is common for there to no running water. After checking in, I was informed that the water would come on around 7 pm. Being in Guadeloupe (i.e. France), I learned that the customer is never right and that requesting for a refund would be a waste of time - nor did I want to be denied a refund and be subjected to anything crazy happening in my hotel room or rental car - just taking additional precautions.

Earlier that day, I was at the beach so after setting in my room, flushing the toilet after using it wasn't pleasant. I ended up using a bucket to poor and flush the water down - and I had to do that several times). I also had to take a shower in my underwear outside near the water reservoir. I think there should be a backup container of water in each room AND that there should be a discount on the room rate or some type of accommodations made (free breakfast offered). I would have chosen another hotel if I had known about not having water. The only good thing about the hotel is that it is conveniently located steps away from the beach.

Very nice accomodation and hosts

Excellent location , right next to beach, location is a little isolated for evening meals, however , a quick trip up to the local hotel or into deshaies will sort this out. Neither are in comfortable walking distance though .

Wonderful

We enjoyed our week at Rose des Vents. The owner, Vasco was very helpful, and knowledgeable, for us, as first time visitors to Guadeloupe. Our studio was very large and clean, with nearly everything we needed. It was rainy season, and we could sit comfortably on the covered veranda outside while waiting for the rain to stop. The Internet is good for browsing in our studio or outside on the veranda/patio.

The beautiful beach is a short walk, with a few restaurants open even during rainy season.

j'ai été faire un tour et je suis revenu vers 17h.

Einzigartig an dieser Unterkunft ist die Lage, ca 20 meter von einem der schönsten Strände von diesem Teil von Guadeloupe entfernt. Wir sind morgens bei Sonnenaufgang immer baden gegangen. Ansonsten, ist alls prima, super sauber, man kann draussen sitzen und es ist alles da um sich kleinigkeiten zu kochen. Vasco und seine Frau Sophia sind sehr nette Gastgeber. Vasco spricht gut englisch und hilft einem bei allen Buchungen und gibt tolle Empfehlungen. Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit und würden immer wieder dort buchen.

Only 30 seconds from one of the finest beaches I have seen in that area, so you can have a swim any time you desire. Place is quite calm; some eateries in walking distance; directly on the beach some more during the day. Owner are very friendly and helpful; Rooms are equipped with kitchen facility; breakfast on extra demand; car parking mostly available directly in front of Rose des Vents, if you return on Sunday before dawn, might need a few meters walk.

La terrasse est vraiment un atout. L’appartement est spacieux, climatisé, avec une moustiquaire. L’hote nous a laissé à disposition des produits de base (huile,sel,liquide vaisselle, papier toilette ...) pratique pour ne pas à avoir à tout acheter.
Le ménage est fait avant notre arrivée et en milieu de séjour. Le linge de lit et de toilette sont ainsi changés. On recommande. Lieu chaleureux et décontracté. Stationnement facile. Bien situé pour les activités basse terre. Les départs principaux pour Les excursions nautiques se font de Sainte Rose 15-20 minutes en voiture.

Deux bémols : la « vue sur jardin » dans le descriptif est possible, mais il faut sortir du studio (la vue depuis l’intérieur du studio donne sur le toit du voisin). Et la literie est fatiguée.

En una de las mejores zonas de Guadalupe

Nos alojamos durante varias noches en uno de los apartamentos con cocina. El alojamiento está en una zona muy tranquila, y a nuestro parecer en una de las mejores zonas de Guadalupe, al lado de Plage de la Perle, siendo una playa espectacular. El mobiliario es algo antiguo, pero está cuidado. Limpieza semanal de la habitación por parte del hotel aunque tienes utensilios de limpieza si lo necesitas. Al menos en nuestra habitación, había algunos básicos como sal, pimienta y café.
Lo mejor, dormirse escuchando el mar y el sonido de los grillos. Lo peor, el wifi, ya que a ciertas horas ni funcionaba ni dejaba conectarse siquiera.

Rose des Vents was perfect for us. Owner/staff amazingly lovely, helpful and makes you feel warmly welcomed. Place is so aesthetic and clean, deatailed with good taste. It is well situated also if you dont have car, just 50 meters from busstop (bus from Point-a-Pitre took about 1h15min). Beach Plage de la Perle is the most beautiful on the west coast, having basic beach restaurants where you can have lunch. Rose des Vents is only few steps from the beach.

nettes Hotel in Strandnähe

Das \"Hotel\" liegt nur ca. 30m vom Strand entfernt ... ideal um mal kurz dort hin zu laufen und rein zu springen. Im Hotel gibts eine Außendusche um den Sand anschließend runter zu bekommen...

Parken kann man nur auf der kleinen / engen Strasse zum Strand ... was schon mal zum Problem wird, wenn man tagsüber mit dem Auto ankommt. In der Anlage selbst kann man nicht parken. Auf der Strasse auch nur ganz am Rand im Grünstreifen.

Die Hausherren (Familie mit 2 kleinen Kindern + Hund / Katze) sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit (sprechen auch Englisch). Für 7$ konnte man seine Wäsche waschen lassen ... geschenkt ... ging auch sehr schnell.

Durch die Nähe zum Wasser gibt eine kleine Mücken-Plage ... da hilft das Netz über dem Bett nur bedingt.

Die Anlage ist aber sehr schön und eben zentral in Strandnähe. Der war tagsüber gut besucht (nicht überfüllt) und Abends leer ... die Wellen waren sehr stark ... überrascht hat uns dann die Abendmusik. Es wurde richtig laut (nicht unangenehm) ... und das stundenlang ... Natur pur eben.

Wir kommen gerne zurück, wenn es uns mal wieder auf die Insel verschlägt
