A characterful four-star hotel built around an 18th-century windmill in Gosier, with a lush tropical garden, a pool and a small beach below. It leans charming and calm rather than kid-focused, but the connecting family rooms, the garden to roam and the Aquarium de Guadeloupe ten minutes away make it a comfortable, characterful family base.
Our verdict
A charming, well-located choice for families who value character and calm over a big kids programme. Book connecting Superior rooms and pair it with the aquarium.
The rooms
Rooms and suites around an old stone windmill and a tropical garden that runs down to the sea, all with ocean views. Ten connecting Superior rooms are set aside for families travelling with children.
