This charming – and recently completely renovated - hotel is located at the entrance of Ste Anne, one of the nicest villages in Guadeloupe. The setting is quite exceptional, with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and islands of Marie Gallante and Les Saintes. 32 pleasant bungalows are nestled into the middle of a tropical garden, and the rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. The hotel also features an excellent restaurant, a huge overflowing swimming pool set above the ocean, and a ‘state of the art’ spa.

The spa at the Creole Beach Hotel (close to the marina at Gozier) came well recommended this year. With three massage cabins right by the waters edge, the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. Payot treatments, steam baths, a sauna and fitness centre, are just some of the services available. The spa is open from 0900–1300 and from 1500–2100hrs.

Last season again, we received a whole round of recommendations for this wonderful beauty parlor - just 5 minutes away from Marin Marina, in the direction of St. Anne. Manager Kathy, who is originally from the Grenadines, and speaks English as her first language, has created a well being sanctuary that is very popular among Superyacht crews and guests alike. Here, you can indulge yourself in an atmosphere of sheer serenity, and the treatments include facials, body wraps, manicures, pedicures, waxing, massage and more!

This hairdresser, situated on the main road across from Le Marin Marina, (close to Ti Toques restaurant) is now very well established and a local and visitors favourite. Many crewmembers have used the services of Stephanie and Corinne, who run the place, and warmly recommended them. They specialize in ‘caucasian’ hair, speak a little English (enough to understand what one wants!) and are a lot of fun. Plus it’s quite trendy for Le Marin!
