La Toubana Hotel & Spa

hip boutique hotel with fantastic staff, great food and wonderful accommodations. The staff will do anything they can to make sure you’re comfortable. The views are fantastic. The beach area was cozy but great for cooling off in. The drink selection was fantastic. Would def stay here again.

First the great points - beautiful hotel with stunning views out across the bays, bar staff fabulous, friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional- thanks to Christopher and his great team. Rooms (we had junior garden suite) lovely with good facilities as expected in a 5 star hotel. A reasonable stroll to the beach a bit of a climb back but very short and transport could be arranged if needed. Now the gripes which prevented a 5 rating these are the things that irked us may be they wouldn’t others. The food offering at the bar is poor we were there for 2 weeks and it didn’t change we of course went out and about and didn’t eat at the hotel daily but when we did with an ala carte restaurant or pool bar to chose from if you didn’t want a full on dining experience then the bar only offered a limited snack menu which stayed the same irrespective of time of day or eve - dips with toast, pizza or fried balls. At the beach the menu was more varied with salads why not offer this at the bar or fruit kebabs, grilled fish kebabs, grilled chicken etc. Getting about is difficult - car hire very expensive although we knew this before we left so was prepared. However what we weren’t prepared for was taking a taxi arranged by the hotel to Sainte Anne that cost 45 euro more than one we picked up from the local rank…. Needless to say we only arranged it through them once and made our own arrangements for a taxi other times - wasn’t the easiest as French very limited but with google translate we managed it.

My wife and I, traveled to Guadaloupe and stayed a La Toubana for three nights. What a wonderful experience! The hotel itself is beautiful, views are breathtaking and the suite extremely spacious. The lovely beach down below is just a corner of paradise with a dedicated area for the hotel guests. Food was great in both restaurants. Yet, what really went above and beyond our expectations was the service. Every staff member is so accommodating and polite, genuine and pleasant at every interaction. I truly recommend staying here and I look forward to our next visit! Well done everybody:)

We discovered La Toubana during our 2-night stay at the hotel. We enjoyed a magnificent room, tastefully decorated, with a magnificent view of the sea, and a private swimming pool. The staff were very welcoming and attentive to our needs. We also had the opportunity to discover the hotel's two superb restaurants, offering excellent dishes served by top-quality staff. Last but not least, the beach seduced us with a unique and very comfortable setting to spend a day. An unforgettable experience that we'll be recommending to everyone around us.

Guadeloupe is a bit off the beaten path for American travelers, so we weren't quite sure what to expect on our recent trip. But we were very pleasantly surprised by La Toubana. The grounds are beautiful, we loved our spacious villa accommodations, the restaurant was excellent, and the staff were extremely welcoming. The beach area, though not large, is designed in such a way that there is ample seating, and we spent many happy hours lying by the water, taking in the sun and the breezes. From what we could tell, La Toubana is definitely a step above the other hotels on Grande Terre, the part of Guadeloupe with large beach resorts. Combining a stay at La Toubana with a few days on Basse-Terre -- the more verdant half of Guadeloupe -- was, for us, the perfect way to experience this Caribbean island.

The room didn't have any water. And the staff said there was nothing they could do. Don't stay here! Its a beautiful property but when the toilet doesn't flush, there is no water for the shower and the staff lies repeatedly that it will be fixed soon you just have to find a new hotel to stay in.
