Bwa Chik Hotel & Golf
Updated 1 July 2026
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
A relaxed, good-value hotel in the heart of Saint-Francois, a short walk from the marina, the market, the beach and Guadeloupe's only golf course. It is low-key rather than resort-like, with one pool and no kids club, but the walkable town setting makes it easy for families who want restaurants and the lagoon on the doorstep.
Our verdict
A smart, affordable base for families who want to explore Saint-Francois and the east of Grande-Terre on foot. Book a duplex and use the town's restaurants and lagoon.
The rooms
Bright, understated rooms and duplexes in a low-key hotel by the marina, some with mezzanine sleeping and kitchenettes. Duplex rooms with a sofa bed and a small kitchen suit families who like to self-cater a little.

Is it right for your kids?
Baby
0 to 1 yr
Kitchenette duplexes help with bottles and meals, but the small pool and lack of a club mean facilities are basic for babies.

The calm town lagoon nearby is the toddler highlight, the pool is small so plan lagoon mornings.

Walkable town, boat trips and the lagoon keep this age busy without a car.

Parents also ask
Do we need a car here?
Not for the town itself, everything from the beach to restaurants is walkable, but a car helps for day trips further afield.
Is there a kids club?
No, this is a simple town hotel, so family days revolve around the lagoon, the pool and the marina.
Is it on the beach?
It is set back a little in town, about a five-minute walk to the beach and lagoon.
