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.

Extremly nice view of a small bay and the ocean from our room. Very hempfull staff when

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.

Love the infinity pool and the sunset views from it. The breakfast soread is great. The dinner menu never varies.

The views were stunning, both from the room and from the pool area. It was close to excellent beaches and fine dining. The hotel provided a hearty breakfast and beach towels. We will definitely stay there again.

Pros- The infinity pool was spectacular and that view of the sunset is breathtaking. - The staff were cordial and very pleasant/accommodating. - The rooms were nice. Appropriate for a 3 star hotel- A parrot welcoming you with 'bonjour' on the lobby. - Adorable dog and cat roaming around for entertainment Two big cons :1. The Internet was only available in the lobby. Not sure what century they are living in because people need to have WiFi available in areas other than just the lobby. It's highly inconvenient. 2. Restaurant is not vegetarian friendly and when asked if they could make us may pasta, they wouldn't even do that.

Pleasant place! Car is needed to enjoy the surrendering, as all Guadeloupe.

We found the hotel easy going and comfortable, with a lovely coastal view and compact but pretty sloping gardens. The breakfast had a good selection of cheeses and nice bread but was average overall. More fresh fruit and a hot dish other other than scrambled eggs and sausages would have improved it. The dinner menu was a bit limited and the meat was over-cooked. The cats were big, attractive and impressively determined to get some tidbits. The hotel is well-placed for the lovely Botanical Gardens and beaches around Saint Rose.

Really enjoyed our stay at Le Rayon Vert. Christelle and Bruno were outstanding hosts, and went out of their way to make sure everything was just perfect. Also Alain and all the staff were very attentive and put up with my less than good attempts to speak their language. We hope to come back soon, and stay even longer.

The grounds of the hotel are amazing and beautiful. The infinity pool is top notch with a breathtaking view of the rainforest and the ocean. The staff went out of their way to treat us well and the room was very clean/simple. The restaurant has amazing dishes as well and the breakfast buffet (included with your stay) was delicious. The rooms though, were on the simple side and didnt offer many amenities (no conditioner, coffee maker, etc). However, I would stay here again without hesitation. It is a beautiful resort in a very beautiful part of the island.

Great and relaxing hotel with beautiful views and many amenities available - Breakfast was superb and cocktails were very tasty - The staff was polite, friendly and helpful - We came to relax and for a change from a busy city life and were not disappointed

Enjoyed our stay. There were no frills, but the hotel was clean and the rooms very comfortable with a lovely outdoor terrace with a view of the ocean. Very convenient location to downtown Deshaises. The restaurant was good, but the service was a bit slow. Breakfast was included, but not much variety; however it was good. Would stay here again.

Very romantic location. I would recommend a car around the island. also note, the WIFI is limited to the reception area. but the rooms are clean, the staff is ULTRA friendly, and the views are phenomenal.

We enjoyed a 10 night stay at Le Rayon Vert and were pleased with our choice due to location and the general comfort. Staff were friendly and helpful and our room was cleaned meticulously on a daily basis. A car is definitely needed as the hotel is located 5km from Deshaies. It is advisable to reserve a table in restaurants in Deshaies as they are mostly quite small with few tables. At the weekends, the local people use the hotel pool and restaurant and it gets extremely busy.

The hotel was in a beautiful setting and the staff could not have been more helpful. As it is the low season we had the pool and hotel to ourselves some days. At the weekends it does get busy as the locals come to use the pool and have dinner. Hiring a car is essential, we thought we could hire bikes but the hills are just too steep. The food was lovely. The only down was the mosquitos and sand flies. Take spray! We hardly ventured onto balcony because of them. Road noise did not bother us but we were in 91 well away from road. Overall a peaceful, well catered, hotel with superb staff. Deshais was the nearest place for food. It was disappointing that ALL menus were the same apart from the pizza place. Grilled fish and columbo chicken although lovely, after 2 weeks I had gone off looking forward to dinner. We walked the volcano in the dark to try and see the sunrise. It was very exciting walking in pitch black with the frog chorus at full volume however when we got to the top it was like walking in scotland, high winds and rain. A waterproof would have been better than a t shirt! Awesome experience though. Diving was excellent, the corals and fish lovely and in very good condition. Snorkeling is also on your door step and we saw most of what you see diving including turtles. Walks through the rain forest are a plenty with amazing waterfalls to find and pools to swim in. Overall really beautiful side of the island.

We stayed at Le Rayon Vert for four nights. We had 2 basic rooms, both with king size beds. Rooms are immaculate, and spare. Each had a patio with chairs facing the sea with Bougainvilla at the patios edge. Rooms are quiet, you do not hear other guests. You need to run the AC at night as the doors are glass and do not have screens. The property is lovely, perched on a cliff with lovely views of the sea. Paths are steep and winding with flowering trees and shrubs with many hummingbirds flitting around. The infinity pool is beautiful as is the surrounding patio and restaurant. It is quiet, no racing for chairs even though the hotel was full. Staff is friendly and relaxed. The owners and main staff speak English very well and are exceedingly helpful without being solicitous. The bar and wait staff speak some English and were very patient with my limited French. Food at the hotel is very good. Breakfast buffet is included and had the most delicious croissants and scrambled eggs. I would definitely stay here again.

PLEASE NOTE! The hotel pool is a public pool so tourists from other hotels and locals are also using the hotel facilities. We had a really hard time finding a sun chair around the pool, it was extremely noisy and crowded with families with small children as well as adults smoking in the pool. Wi-fi is only in the reception area and rarely worked. Hotel staff does not speak english. We had ants and cockroaches in our room on a daily basis. Breakfast was good.

My family stayed at Le Rayon Vert during Christmas vacation. It was just perfect for us. Very easy to drive to La Grande Anse, which is just a large, gorgeous beach having palm trees and small restaurants in the background. The hotel itself is beautiful. Rooms are constructed along a hillside, giving beautiful and private views to each room. The main public space of the hotel is also very nice -- a large swimming pool with an infinity edge over which you look out to the sea, a very nice restaurant for breakfast (included) and for dinner, and an adjoining bar area. The restaurant and bar areas are covered but most of the areas open to the outside air and view, which is really pleasant. Staff are friendly and helpful, including with guests whose French language ability is limited. All in all this hotel was an ideal blend of comfort, simplicity and beauty.
