Arriving at this Caribbean hotel, which brims with colorful curios, feels like stepping through Alice in Wonderland's looking glass—assuming Alice was fluent in French. In this quirky, 11-room gem on Terre-de-Haut, just off the coast of Guadeloupe, every antique furnishing in your cozy chamber (and in the lobby and hallways) is for sale. Request the room above the restaurant and you'll overlook orange rooftops of Creole-style houses that fall away toward a yacht-filled harbor—and be within sniffing range of the island's most flavorful cuisine. But unless you're prepared to tote home a planeload of decorative souvenirs, don't grow too attached to your digs. Like your love, your room may appear very different 10 years from now; but rest assured, the spirit will remain the same. Doubles from $80, December through April; 011-590-590-99-50-99 or petitssaints.com. |
