Reviewed By Jonslandrover - Bedfordshire, United Kingdom
We stayed two nights on the Island, It is lovely! - be prepared to walk or hire bikes or scooters (But these are too noisy!) - take your time to visit Fort Napoleon - really interesting but leave to get there early as it gets so hot! Don't bother with Pain du Sucre Beach, instead head for Les Pompiers - it has palms, picnic benches and the most beautiful bay! Even Swimming on the beach at Anse du Fonde is lovely, followed up by breakfast at one of the Boulangeries - Wonderful Experience

If you are looking for a perfect catalogue-like beach, then that`s the correct choice. Crystal clear water, white sand and coconut trees are the real caribbean treasure.

Nice place for a walk and full of exotic animals. It rained while we were there, but there were enough sheltered viewing spots that we were able to dodge the rain and still visit with the animals. Cages seemed spacious and sheltered from the heat. Featured a bridge walk that overlooked some of the enclosures, while also providing a fun diversion especially for the kids.

A Spectacular Botanical Garden and Wildlife Park Open to the public since the 1st April 2001, the Botanical Gardens at Deshaies are a recent creation. This park, whose youth is imperceptible, has very quickly imposed itself as the place to be for nature enthusiasts and lovers of tropical plants. Situated on the windward coast of Basse-Terre, 100m in altitude up above the town of Deshaies, the garden stretches out over 5 hectares of sloping mountainside. Its favourable location guarantees beautiful views over the coast and an unrivalled vantage-point overlooking the bay of Deshaies. The site was already home to a nursery created by Guy Blandin, a plant-lover who brought rare and unknown plant species from his travels around the world back to Guadeloupe. Many of them unfortunately disappeared when Cyclone Hugo hit and severely damaged the island in 1989. The humorist Michel Colluci, also known as Coluche, acquired the property in 1979. A few years later, in 1985, he invited his friend Michel Gaillard, an interior landscaper in mainland France, to set up his nursery there in exchange for taking care of the property's garden. A year later, the death of Coluche brought the future of the property back into question. Michel Gaillard bought back the property in 1991 to honour the memory of his friend, with the idea in mind of creating a botanical garden. This risky and ambitious project required several years of planning, of research into its feasibility and then of execution. The garden was finally brought about in accordance with Michel Gaillard's and the landscaper Samuel Craquelin's plans. Over the course of the path which snakes its way through the gardens, visitors today discover a world of real abundance: a world with 800 species of plant all brought together, with several animal species, which were introduced much to the delight of children, and with the most spectacular and unexpected landscapes following one after the other. Tourists are invited on an unforgettable walk amidst fifteen or so different scenes.

Very nice garden with flowers, trees, plants, parrots, hummingbirds and flamingos. The restaurant has a terrace with beautiful view and good coffee. Play area for small children and a café. All the names of the plants, trees and flowers are in French, would be nice if this is in English too. Some warnings like not to feed the birds with fish food are in English so.. We spend a couple of hours walking in the garden and had a coffee too. 15.50 euro's is a good price.

Took a drive out to the Pointe, parked on the roadside and then climbed along the well made path to the tip - Great views and lovely to see - Amazing seeing the Rock formations in the Cliff and then afterwards, checking out the Rock Pools and fish! We tried the Coconut Ice Cream for the first time there - It was Gorgeous - No Alcohol and really refreshing! - you really do need to try it whenever you see them mixing it by the roadside lay-by's

Great position, close to the cruise terminal, and visible from the sea. The museum is very modern, perfectly organized. It is not only about slavery and pain, it is also about history, local habits, art, plants and animals. Impressive and instructive.
