This is a beautiful environment perfect for a quiet, calm, tranquil getaway. The people are wonderfully kind and hospitable. The receptionist went out of her way to help, speaking French with our car rental company when our car broke down, and offering her phone as a contact for them. Service staff at breakfast were wonderful.

Breakfast was good and set in a beautiful covered patio overlooking the pool. A good variety of pastries, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, juices, cereals, sausages, cheeses, eggs, etc. There wasn't a lot of variety from day to day and eating the same thing 7 mornings in a row can get tedious. It might be a great idea to freshen up the menu each morning with 1 or 2 different items (just like the fresh juices). Rooms were basic, very well air-conditioned, had a good amount of closet space, and clean. It might be a good idea to describe in the listing that only soap and towels are provided so that they can come prepared with shampoo, etc. The kitchenette was well-equipped and very useful. Cleaning was done every day, which was great, but inconsistent. One person would clean and organize superbly paying attention to every detail. Another would forget refilling the soap dispensers.

Overall, a great experience! We leave with wonderful memories of a quiet time of refreshment.

A reasonable hotel - great location and good breakfast. It would have been nice to have been informed prior to booking that the restaurant would not be open due to low season. Would have benefited from access to a bar. Kitchenette was reasonable (although cookware was tired). Overall a good option in the area.

I would recommend this hotel. The unit we have was set up like a French Gite. Outside under cover was the fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Inside plenty of room with a TV, WiFi, master bed and two single beds. En-suite with shower. Staff were family and spoke several languages. We ate at the restaurant on New Year’s Eve and the food was excellent. Would recommend the restaurant. There is a small swimming pool but the beach is only 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Good location to explore from. Plenty of parking.

Beautifully well kept and just like the pictures. The staff although mostly French are superb and do their best to understand and assist you. Many speak Emglish & willtranslate their menu. Something that is rare in Guadaloupe. Beds changed every 4 days. The staff are consistantly clearing cleaning and tidying to keep the grpunds immaculate. The walk to yhe beach is 5 minutes and their are frequent buses into Deshaises. If u want unspoilt Caribean this is the place to go.

In a week only had the room cleaned once and despite efforts sand does get in. It would have been nice to have a broom or other to deal with the sand. Parking was difficult as it was crowded.

I chose this resort based on location as its near the beach and good restaurants. Some of the reviews will state its outdated and they did post that they will undergo renos but no date. The reason i am giving this resort a good review is because it is close to the beach and restaurants as advertised. You'll need to rent a car to get around and if from Canada book your pcr test at synergibio. The staff is friendly and helpful(printing forms as an example) and have a positive vibe. Cant ask for much more then that. Kitchen appliances worked, we could cook leftovers on the stove

Nestled in a hillside within a close walk to a spectacular beach, this well-maintained hotel is an absolute joy for those seeking the freedom of renting a home and the comforts of staying at hotel. My only problem with HGA is that the wifi is not good at all, Should be a fairly easy fix and I hope management looks into it. On the positive side, this gave me a perfect excuse to disconnect from work! Even though you are close to the beach, you will need a car in this part of Guadeloupe to fully enjoy your stay.

Location is okay-to-good as long as you have a car - short hop to most amenities in Deshaies, short walk to the beach at Grande Anse, although one might end up driving quite long distances to everything else on Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre. The villas itself were okay, decent efforts were made with mosquito netting but one will still have one or two sneak into the room anyway. Fridge was outdoors alas - sensible to the extent that the cooking areas were outdoors, but not when one just wants to reach for a drink without braving mosquitoes. It's quite quiet at night, not counting the hum of insects especially in the morning. Had little interaction with the staff - literally just to check in and check out!

We successfully rode out a category 4 hurricane during our visit but time and again the staff helped us through and the buildings took it all in their stride.

Habitation Grand Anse is a good hotel, well looked after and clean. The swimming pool / bar area are excellent. It's useful to have a small kitchen area so you can cook some meals / have breakfast without always paying the hotels quite expensive prices. The bedrooms are large and quite basic. Our beds were comfortable.
The nearby beach of Grand Anse is one of the best on the island - idyllic - and the nearby small town of Deshaies offers some great places to eat & drink.

Beautiful views, a short walk from a great beach

My two grown daughters and I spent two nights here, eating dinner in Deshaies one night and at HGA's restaurant the second night. Both meals were fantastic; and the service at HGA was top notch. We had adjoining rooms with a shared terrace that looked out across the grounds and to the ocean. Beautiful and peaceful! Highly touted Plage de Grande Anse is about a half-mile walk from the property -- it is a beautiful beach for walking, swimming, or hanging out and having a drink or meal (several beachfront restaurants). Deshaies is only a mile or two from HGA -- very easy to get to, and lots of restaurant and shopping choices when you get there. Highly recommend!

Needs Reno, Great View and Breakfast

Waiting for a new owner?? The lobby and bar with outdoor tables overlooking the beautiful Caribbean are very nice, clearly effort has been put into upkeep here. This also the scene of the generous and quite good breakfast, however the rest of the hotel is in serious need of renovation!! Apparently this is considered the best hotel on the island, it was chosen for the visit if the French president and also for France'a Davis Cup team,so I felt less duped by travel book recommendations! Not a great value as it wasn't inexpensive, but the view is outstanding and our sea view room had a great vista. There are nice smaller hotels near Deshaies ( try Le Rayon Vert) and farther out toward St Francois ( Amaudo), but I guess this is it if you need/want to be in Gosier ...for a quick drive to that early morning Norwegian Air flight back to JFK!

Do it your way at the informal, cozy Habitation

We enjoyed our stay at Habitation. We didn't understand that it was a self-catering situation, but it turned out to be fine. The food at the restaurant is good. For a change, we bought food in town and had an informal dinner on our porch. The pool is nice. The beach is a close walk and is a beautiful spot. However, it is not ideal for children, since there is a very steep drop-off and no gradual entry or wading area. The town of Deshaises is cute and fun to explore, as is the nearby botanical gardens.

Well-kept gardens - short walk to beach

This suited us but take into consideration this is not really a hotel. We were a family group and so could have individual rooms/cottages but still eat together on the terrace.

On the plus-side, the gardens were beautiful, the rooms worked for us and there was a lovely view from the terrace over the mountains and rain forest. There is a fridge, a filter coffee machine and a tea pot.There is free parking on site.
On the negative side, the room was only cleaned once in 7 days so be prepared. Also, the kitchen was supposed to have a microwave (it didn't) and there was no kettle (we had a travelling kettle) but otherwise, it was extremely well-equipped and there was no problem cooking a meal for my family on the two gas burners. There are NO beach towels.

Breakfast was very expensive and there was much better value in town if you have a car to get there, or you can buy bread from the garage at the end of the drive.
Do not forget that this hotel is in the rain forest and so it rains A LOT - everyday and several times a day - but that is why the scenery is so green and lush.

Relaxing hotel close to beach

We stayed in an apartment style room at this hotel. It was quite the hike up a big hill to get to the room, but once we arrived it was breathtaking. Our balcony looked over endless trees, mountains, and the ocean down below.

The beach was a 5 minute walk from the hotel and there are plenty of lunch spots nearby, all which are good.

My only complaints are: 1) there is no bar at the hotel during the day, only after 6pm 2) there is no nightlife nearby, this is the tranquil side of the island 3) you really need to rent a car! This isn't a complaint, just a strong suggestion. It'll save you taxi fare and will allow you to venture to the more lively parts of the island if that's your thing.

Stay away

Beware that the hotel will immediately charge a 30% deposit and then will ignore your emails. Upon arrival, you will find desk staff that have no idea how long you are staying for, inedible breakfasts foisted upon you, dingy rooms with no water pressure, dodgy toilets and anemic air conditioning. Night staff try to make up for the day staff's unresponsiveness but this run down establishment needs a complete retrofit to be habitable. A shrug of the shoulders is the only response you will get to the cramped, poorly lit rooms where you will hear everything your neighbors are doing. It is simply ridiculous to be told that wifi is unavailable in the rooms - where you will desperately try to book elsewhere as soon as you arrive. You will need to double check your bill before leaving and make sure they actually remember to deduct that deposit - our first bill didn't reflect it at all and it was only several hours after my initial request that I finally received a proper bill. And don't get me started on the food. Overpriced and largely inedible.

Comfort and convenience in an ideal location

Beautiful grounds, ideally located by one of the most spectacular beaches I've ever seen. Accommodations are simple but more than adequate for a beach vacation, with large bathrooms and well-equipped outdoor kitchens. My friend and I actually found the beds quite comfortable, unlike some other reviewers. Breakfast was overpriced, for the ho-hum offerings, so better off buying groceries at the large Super U a couple miles down the main road.

Everything we could have hoped for!

The perfect balance between self catering and having the option to dine in their restaurant for breakfast and dinner (although you need to ask in advance, with good reason!)
The nearest town just 2 minute drive to pick up pastries in the morning and the nearest beach about 5 minutes walk. An incredible feeling of being in the south of France and the Caribbean. Something very nostalgic and very new for us!
We drove all over the island and concluded it was the perfect location for quiet and beautiful beaches. And definitely one of the best hotels.
Hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful, reception staff spoke both French and English, which was a relief as the heat was slowing down my translating faculties somewhat!
The pool was secluded by palm trees giving a very relaxed feel and the local wildlife was completely relaxed too. Couldn't have asked for more!

Lovely garden hotel, nice setting

Our stay was enjoyable, however the beds and pillows were not comfortable. We liked that the kitchenettes were unique and well stocked, however the glassware is very small. The restaurant was fine but only open at limited times and when we arrived on Christmas Eve, we were told that there were no reservations available and that the restaurants in town were all full. I would stay here again but it would be nice to have known these flaws and be better prepared to deal with them.

Great Staff, ordinary location

If staying here you will need
1, your own transport
2, a good grasp of French, both written and spoken.
There is little public transport. not even a taxi on a Sunday
No ATM so no access to funds.
Rooms are up a very steep hill along an uneven and poorly lit path
All local tour/activity information is in French only

Good luck

It is a mistake to call this place a hotel. Staff are rude and disinterested, restaurant is average and rooms are basic and crawling with bugs. Pay a bit more and go somewhere else.

Nice hotel close to beach and restaurants.

Nice hotel for a family. Our daughter enjoyed the pool and mini chocolate croissants. Hotel staff was friendly.

Great Location out of the Tourist Zone

I believe that each of these units have outdoor kitchen facilities and equipment that are well done. While we were there, it appeared that there was a range of guests from families to couples. The inside of our unit had a bedroom with a king bed and a curtain-separated second room with a single bed. The bathroom was off the main bedroom. Nothing special about the interiors, but very clean and quite utilitarian. There is a good restaurant on ground and a great pool. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and have a nice feel. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to Grande Anse beach. There are not a lot of other businesses in the immediate area and I would recommend having a car to make getting around feasible. The people in reception and in the restaurant were extremely nice, helpful, and responsive to our needs. We had a very relaxed stay there and would do it again.

Awesome

The hotel is really nice. The room has everything you need, and it is located near some awesome beaches. The restaurant is excellent. All the staff we dealt with was friendly and helpful. There are many chickens and roosters roaming the area, so if you're not a morning person, it might not be ideal.
Only thing that kept it from being a 5 rating is that the room isn't serviced daily- they only clean it every 3 days.

Restful

This was our first holiday to Guadeloupe, HGA's chalets were very restful within the beautiful landscaped gardens, for the 2 of us they were very adequate and very clean. Our chalet was about 30 metres up from the main reception, and the kitchen was inside rather than outside, which we were happy with. The staff were pleasant, some spoke good English. The Breakfasts were very good, but unfortunately the restaurant was closed until later in the year.
We had a very restful and relaxing holiday in a beautiful setting.
There was some maintenance being carried out on a couple of other chalets further up, which did cause some noise most days, but not constantly.
