Clean resort at a wonderful seaside location.

We spent a delightful 6 days at La Bougainvillier Blanc in late January. We have poor French-language skills but we managed quite well, aided by a translation app on our phone (you need lots of data - 50 MB). We deliberately didn’t rent a car - that worked because we like walking. If that’s not your preference, you’ll have an easier time with a rental. Our favourite places were the larger local beach, Plage Caraibe, (great snorkelling at the north end) which was about 5 km away, and the Chute de Acomet, a beautiful little waterfall with lots of little pools downstream, which was 7.5 km away. That made for some long walks with some significant hills. Fortunately, there is also a local transport system available which made it easy to get to the other nearby beach (Plage de Petite Anse). Hitch-hiking is considered normal. Good local maps are free at the tourist office. Our gracious host Lucien has a wonderful little swimming pool at the guesthouse, so an end-of-day swim was part of our routine. The trickiest part for us was dinner – we tried to get back to La Bougainvillier Blanc by sunset to avoid walking in the dark, but most restaurants only opened later. We worked around this by eating a large late lunch (good choices at the beaches), eating at the one restaurant that opened at 17:00 (An Ba Tol La), or else making our own dinner in our well-equipped kitchen. If you have a car, there are at least 3 good restaurants close by. Pointe-Noire is not a tourist town so most shops close in the afternoon. Some useful shops that are open most of the day are along the main road (N2) – there are two pharmacies in the centre of town, and a large grocery ((Carrefour Express) and a good bakery/coffee shop on the southern half of town. We weren’t looking for a lot of tourist activities – just a quiet, peaceful time with low-key, interesting things to do each day. La Bougainvillier Blanc and Pointe-Noire were perfect for that.

The view and the jacuzzi. The patience of the proprietors with our poor French. They were very kind.

Everything was enjoyable. The place is amazing, the staff is kind and welcoming. Facility was great as well !

The apartment was immaculate and easy to use. Having the washer machine was a plus.

The host Marie was a very friendly person and made us feel right at home, its so close to the best beach in Guadeloupe that you can literally see the beach soon as you step out of this property's gate and look to your west, and a gas station with a little supermarket is right there halfway between you and the beach, plus there is a pizza food truck after 6pm by the gas station and lots of restaurants and food trucks on the beach every day all day, we definitely recommend this place to everyone. Oh you can get here VERY cheaply by exiting the PTP airport (any Monday to Saturday morning) and walking to your right to the back of the vehicle terminal (just ask any airport worker for the Karulkis bus), the AE3 and AE5 buses come once every 15 minutes and take you from PTP to Bergevin bus terminal in the city for only 1.20 Euros each, then you get a white big air-conditioned bus from there to Deshaies (tell the driver you want to go to Grande Anse in Deshaies) and the bus stop in literally at a roundabout at the head of the road to the beach (on your right/west) and the road to the apartment is on your left /east just 100 metres passed the gas station - and this second bus only costs 3.00 Euros each, so you can get there for LESS than 5 Euros (per person) by 2 buses, OR waste 100.00 Euros to get a taxi from PTP there, the choice is yours, but I prefer NOT to waste money and get there in 90 minutes for 5 Euros - rather than spend 100 Euros and get there in 30 minutes.
