Le Rayon Vert

Had a good stay. Car needed as beach access is limited directly from property though there is a “ secret” beach a reasonable walk away. Food was good with quite large portions. Room and private patio and gardens were very good. Speaking some basic French would be very helpful to you though staff did their best and there were fluent English speakers around most of the time. You are definitely in France but the experience is worth it.

Très bel endroit

Beautiful property with nice facilities around the pool. Breakfast was plentiful but choices don’t vary much. Well kept, comfortable beds, clean, gorgeous scenery. Need car to visit islands and to get to beaches, restaurants, etc.

The property was lovely and very clean with all outdoor dining. Small birds flew in and out as we ate, yet I never saw a mess from them. The hotel cat was very friendly and visited our balcony most evenings to receive pets. The breakfast buffet was ample and good. They were very accommodating for my gluten intolerant husband, purchasing several gluten- free types of bread and cookies for him without asking. The website led me to believe they were more prepared for English speaking guests than we found them to be. Check-in and ordering meals were difficult because of the language barrier.

Beautiful rooms in bungalows overlooking the sea. Big infinity pool. Onsite bar and restaurant but also close to the waterfront restaurants at Deshaies

Fabulous view from large infinity pool. Delightful hotel. Superb kind, efficient, friendly staff. Very helpful. Great food; lovely drinks. All together an amazing stay! Highly recommended

Amazing experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was nice and spacious. The pool, bar, and restaurant (dinner) was perfect. Highly recommend.

Great friendly staff, fantastic views from rooms

We loved breakfast on the open shaded terrace overlooking the sea. The individual bungalow style rooms were spacious with a very comfortable bed. The individual terrace with a lovely sea view.

The resort was beautiful, the staff friendly, and the location was so close to some of the best beaches and snorkeling in Guadeloupe...just 7 minutes to La Petite Anse for excellent snorkeling!

Really pretty spot, the view is breath taking, especially at sunset, and the large infinity pool is a bonus. It is spotless everywhere, looks like it was freshly renovated and painted. Nice cocktails and the food was really good. I heard another guest asking for nibbles during cocktail hour and I admit that I was thinking the same but there was nothing. Not the end of the world but it would be a great thing, especially since there is no internet in the rooms (only issue I had), which might make you want to be on the terrasse instead of your own pretty deck for happy hour. I will go back there for sure and recommend.

From arriving and seeing the view from the restaurant it was obvious we had made a good choice. The rooms are all self contained buildings with a stunning walk through the grounds to get to them and ours was huge, complete with a patio with sea view. Christelle and her staff couldn’t have been more helpful especially when we were struggling to leave due to travel restrictions imposed because of Covid-19. She really went out of our way to help us. Then there was the food! Being a restaurant too you might expect the food to be good, but it was some of the best my wife and I have ever eaten! As soon as the coronavirus madness is over we will be taking the first opportunity to go back!

Le Rayon Vert was a perfect spot for our vacances du fin d’année (end of year vacation). We were there Dec 28- Jan 1. Pauline at desk was always helpful-showing us our room, getting us a taxi to return to airport, helping us understand our surroundings with our limited French. I don’t think she took a break—there every day and meeting our every need. This is a family owned place and you can feel it. It is quiet, peaceful, the food is great (we got breakfast included, which was a great move). The infinity pool is lovely and sunbathing beside the pool provided us with every direction of sun overlooking the ocean. A few things to note: 1) don’t even bother taking a laptop to work. WiFi is only in pool/restaurant common areas and not the best signal. And within a day or two, I clearly recognized this is NOT the place to go to catch up. It’s a place to wind down. 2) The local beach is Plage Leroux and it is beautiful. Getting there is a 10 minute walk through a poor island small town. If you are intimidated in such areas, a car would be a good way to go but parking at the beach is limited. 3) Food at the hotel is terrific but they don’t serve lunch Monday or Tuesday and choices to eat within walking distance are either not good or also not open those days. 4) BEST advice—rent a car. We paid 80-90€ each way to/from airport and walked (5km) to the nearest big town of Deshaies which was a lovely walk but dangerous in some spots where road was windy and dark.

Spacious, great views, infinity pool, privacy - amazing.

One of the worst experiences I have ever had with a hotel anywhere.

Very nice hotel highly recommended un séjour de rêve lieu magnifique

This property was lovely. The staff were very helpful! The property is located in a quieter area of Guadeloupe so hiring a rental to get around is definitely recommended.

Our stay at Le Rayon Vert was very relaxing. A very picturesque setting with lovely views over the bay. We really enjoyed drinks by the pool while watching the Green-Throated Carib birds buzzing back and forth. Food was high quality and very tasty. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel gardens provided beautiful surroundings. Staff were extra polite and accommodating.

Fabulous views, simple but very nice room with outdoor patio, very friendly and helpful staff, good restaurant on site, laid back ambience.

We were so pleased with our stay at Le Rayon Vert. The staff was courteous and helpful even with the language barrier. The grounds were lush and well maintained. The only thing that stopped me from giving it a perfect score was the breakfast service. Breakfast is served from 7-10am but the dishes are never replenished. If the sausage runs out by 8am (which it did) the people trying to eat at 9am got no sausage.
