We feel extremely lucky to have spent our 10-day Guadeloupe vacation at Infiniti Blue in Boulliante, Basse Terre. The magnificent site offers a stunning view of the sea and the winding roads below. The furnishings, plantings, walkways etc. have been selected with great care and attention to detail. And they are beautifully maintained.
We stayed in a separate bungalow, "Case Colibri" (hummingbird) that, albeit close to the pool and bar, offered complete privacy. It comprised, in addition to a comfortable bedroom (with air conditioning and fan) and bathroom, a well-equipped kitchenette for breakfast and simple meals, as well as a large covered veranda surrounded by flowering bushes which encourage encounters with the afore-mentioned hummingbirds, little iguanas, and occasional visits from the owners' friendly dog, Ruby, and cat, Ziggy.
The charm of the place itself is matched by the congenial and helpful personalities of the owners, Sam and Pascale. They are quiet and discrete but always ready to answer a question or offer a suggestion in either English or French. Their daughter, Jade, and her friend, Mint, run a small bar/restaurant on the premises which serves up delicious Thai-accented meals if you order a bit in advance. You eat overlooking the pool and the sea by yourselves, or perhaps with one other couple at a nearby table. It's magical.
