“A very pleasant stay”

Hotel Karibea Salako Beach Resort

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
Newton, Massachusetts
May 5, 2008

We had a very pleasant stay at the Karibea Salako. The room was quite nice, although not fancy. Nice beach/sea view. The shower was wonderful and hot! The people were friendly and went out of their way to help us when we arrived late for dinner and came down late for breakfast. There were no "hidden" charges to surprise us at the end of the visit. There was no loud noise at night and no problem getting food at breakfast; perhaps it helped that we traveled in April just past the "high" season, or, perhaps the hotel has taken notice of previous complaints and changed their practices. The one thing we were a tad disappointed with was that the beach bar wasn't open late in the afternoon, but this did not mar our overall experience.

Guadeloupe is two islands in one, one part beautiful, traditional Caribbean beaches and the other part lush vegetation, mountains, rugged coastline, waterfalls, even a volcano! There is much to see and do. Speaking a little French helps, but if you make an effort you are amply rewarded. People are helpful without being obsequious.

“Great Family Destination”

Hotel Karibea Salako Beach Resort

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Mar 26, 2008

This was a terrific family hotel. We stayed in the Salako portion of the hotel. There are also suites and more basic accomodations at the Karibea. Our room had a lovely view of the Caribbean and was very quiet.
The buffet dinner (26 Euro/person) was excellent and a good choice especially if you do not speak French.
Gosier is well located for seeing all the sites on Guadeloupe and the beaches are great for kids, well protected.
We didn't have children with us, but didn't mind all the guests with children.
Each evening there was entertainment in the lounge and many of the staff spoke English.
To find the hotel, follow signs for "Pointe de la Verdure"

“Don't stay here”

Hotel Karibea Salako Beach Resort

Mar 8, 2008

There is very little good to say about the Karibea Clipper Hotel, which is part of the Hotel Karibea Salako Beach Resort. We were kept awake at night by excessively loud music from the bar until midnight. The quality of the breakfasts was appalling - dried out scrambled eggs (bacon on one day only and that was because we got there early), no toast, no salt and pepper. But the worst part was having to collect a breakfast tray (like being in a Macdonald's restaurant) and supposedly stack it away when breakfast was finished. However most people left their dirty trays on the tables and the lazy staff just left them there.

The buffet dinner poses a major health hazard. The food is put out at 7.30 and left uncovered to congeal and attract flies.

The entertainment was pathetic. Karioke music, amateur limbo dancers and the live music in the Salako hotel lounge featured a dua where the singer was not able to sing in tune. There were also lots of screaming children running wild around the music lounge and bar area.

The bedrooms are extremely basic - rather like a Novotel Accor Hotel.

There is an attractive beach. But don't even think about getting a beach towel on a Sunday - they are not available.

The hotel next door, the Hotel La Creole Beach, looked much better. There was a lovely swimming pool, lots of water sports on the beach, a nice bar with great live music and a very pleasant ambiance.

If we ever visit Guadeloupe again we will stay at this hotel.

“A dump”

Hotel Karibea Salako Beach Resort

Mar 6, 2006
17/19 found this review helpful

This hotel is a dump.
More ants on the roomfloor than waiter to serve you.
A place very loud, don't expect to sleep during the "event nights".
Towels changed when maid wished to.
The food :
breakfast, try to be there early otherwise, there is no choice and you have to fight for it against birds ; lunch and supper, just forget about it.
So just don't go there.
