My husband and I stayed here in November 2006 and were really concerned about the bad reviews. Imagine our surprise when we arrived to find that this hotel was in the process of a complete transformation. In November about half of the rooms had been completely upgraded, and I believe this renovation has been completed. La Toubana is now a... more

We stayed there in 1985 and again in 1989; Really downhill in 4 years. Looking at taking our anniversary there in May 2007, but reading the reviews, I can see that unfortunately, it is not the place that it was 22 years ago. There is so much potential there; a wonderful location with a private little beach. There used to... more

We just returned from La Toubana yesterday and were so disappointed that we felt the need to warn others of our experience. We had read some of the mixed reviews on tripadvisor but the hotel web site and other guide books we read made it sound interesting (great view, private beach, etc) so we wanted to give it a try.... more

We just returned (March 22-31, 2005) from a trip to Guadeloupe. What a beautiful island(s). We stayed at the Rayon Vert on Basse Terre for all but 3 days of our vacation. We loved the Rayon Vert (location and staff were wonderful). We checked into our room at La Toubana on Easter Sunday. When we entered the bungalow there was... more

My husband and I arrived at La Toubana after reading good and very bad reviews. WE LOVED IT! There is a tiny beach down below where you can swim but the best beach is at the club med at La Caravelle. We didn't think it would be great but we were very impressed. You can rent the beach chairs from... more

My wife and I returned one week ago from an eight night stay. This was our first trip to Guadeloupe, after many previous visits to Martinique. We really enjoyed our stay at La Toubana. The setting is beautiful, and the views from the pool and breakfast area are magnificent. The bungalos, while simple and certainly not luxurious, have quiet, efficient... more

Let me tell you about La Toubana. First of all, I travel extensively--both business and pleasure. However, if you are planning to take only one vacation this year, you need to seriously consider whether or not you want to spend your sacred time at La Toubana. The grounds and pool at La Toubana are beautiful and well kept...but the accommodations... more

Nervous after reading negative reviews, we booked into La Toubana and held our breath. Our hillside cabin had its drawbacks -- an aging tub, well-used kitchen and most of all a noisy colony of crickets and frogs just outside our window -- but we grew to love the setting, the patio, the pool and the view. Breakfasts were wonderful and... more

Due to previous reviews we shied away from this property initially. However, upon arriving in Guadeloupe, which is spectacularly beautiful, it became very clear that very few hotels offer what the La Toubana has. We switched from a "four-star" new hotel to the La Toubana because of its location on a rock overlooking the continuously pounding surf. It was clean,... more
