The village was quaint and pleasant to stroll around, of course it was also the location for murders in paradise so we spent some time finding various filmed locations. We'll positioned with some of the best beaches within easy reach. Some of the restaurants were over priced for some very ordinary plates but some of the takeaway and lesser quoted eating places were excellent and good value.

Deshaies was pretty crowded at the time we were there. You need to make reservations in the restaurant to get a table. Savane restaurant was great with views of the sunset during dinner. Make sure to visit the botanical garden.

Quiet part of the island and the most beautiful!
Quiet part of the island and the most beautiful! Many gorgeous beaches, mountains and scenery. Can easily spend all our time there without going to other parts of the island. Water activities are plentiful and there are also lots of hiking available including climbing Mt. Soufriere! No need to eat at a restaurant - the food trucks serve really delicious food and the people working them are very friendly.

Lovely town, got to see all the set/filming areas of Death in Paradise, very friendly helpful locals, nice restaurants, pleasant town. Easy and close in the car to lots of lovely sights, Botanic Gardens, the volcano, ACTe Museum etc. We ate in La Madras where they film the programme and Chill which had huge ribs and Le Reflet (the nicest Poulet Colombo - chicken curry! and the chicken with vanilla). I would highly recommend to visit the Maison du Cacao - book your tour in English if you won't understand it in French.

I have not been to many Caribbean islands, but Guadeloupe,...
I have not been to many Caribbean islands, but Guadeloupe, and Deshaies in particular, is my favorite place so far. The area has wonderful natural beaches, simple places to drink and eat, and lovely nature. It is the polar opposite to all-inclusive beach resorts, in a good way. All beaches are accessible and free, the people were friendly, and it felt safe everywhere we went. Our list:
1. Beaches: Grande Anse, Cluny, La Perle, Leroux, Petite Anse, Malendur
2. Eat: Paradise Cafe, La Kaz, Le Madras, Karacoli, Le Fournil (patisserie)
3. Drink: La Croisiere (when there is live music), Le Madras, Karacoli
4. Activities: Snorkeling at Malendur and Ilets Pigeon (rent a kayak to get to the island), Botanical Garden, snorkeling at several other beaches to see turtles, surfing at Cluny beach, diving at Malendur or at Petite Anse.
5. Highlight1: Getting 2 bottle of beer at a local store run by a charming old couple, having the owner offer to open the bottles for us, and walking across the street to the beach and sit with locals to chat and watch the sunset.
6. Highlight2: Taking a snorkeling excursion boat ride to 3 snorkeling spots in Reserve du Cousteau.
7. Highlight3: Driving around the area, noticing Cluny beach, parking under a mango tree, watching the Point Break style waves crash along the beach, and walking on the golden sands and picking up just-fallen coconuts (and having a local guy show us how to tell if it was good or not).
8. Highlight4: Listening to a local band playing folk music on hand drums at LaCroisiere on Saturday night while a local guy reached into the cooler to get us beers and chat with us (volunteer waiter). He would let the owner know how many beers he got us every once in a while for us to keep up with the tab.

I loved the laid back, uncomplicated, village feel, and yet cosmopolitan nature of Deshaies. It's really small and stress free, and you get to know everything quickly. We bought excellent fresh fish and crayfish at the harbour, supermarkets have everything you need. Little boutiques to buy pareo and beachwear. Bought lovely scented tea. Restaurants nearby with lovely seafood, creole and simple dishes. Dining over the waves, we enjoyed L' amer Restaurant. And another restaurant with live music on Saturdays, Restaurant La Croisiére. Met artistic locals there, and people showed local dances. We also ate at La Madras, aka Catherine's Bar.
What an amazing place, sad that our plane got cancelled and we stayed only one day instead of the three we had initially planned. But nevertheless the staff was incredibly nice, waited for us at night to give us a welcome and help us getting set-up. The place is absolutely beautiful, waking up in the morning with the sun rising over the ocean was absolutely stunning. We also got the breakfast that morning and loved it!
If we ever come back to Guadeloupe we'll for sure stay again :)
At the first look the location seems to be a bit dull because it is located directly at the main road and there is just a supermarket nearby. But in the end, I think it is much better than Deshaies, because Plage de la Perle is within walking distance (10-15 minutes) and it's also possible to walk through a nice pathway to Plage de Grande Anse. Several food options and a craft brewery are also within walking distance.
Very spacious apartment on the whole upper floor of a private house, located in a quiet residential area. Short distance (5minutes drive) to the Grande Anse beach and to Deshaies (2 minutes). Large balcony with a sitting area, where we enjoyed both breakfasts and dinners. Excellent view on the sea and the hills, lots of greenery around the house. Very kind, welcoming host. Convenient parking near the house.
Comfortable room and facilities within easy walking reach of Deshaies. Facilities are as advertised with a super friendly host Murielle who gave us lots of tips on where to go and provided a great breakfast each day. Loads of bits and pieces provided which meant if you’d forgotten anything it really didn’t matter, this was unexpected in a bed and breakfast and went over and above expectations.
An amazing apartment with a spectacular view from the balcony. We spent 5 nights here and enjoyed the space and tranquility of this location.
Would definitely recommend this apartment.
The kitchen was well equipped and the washing machine was very helpful for us as we were travelling for a few weeks around the islands.
Hotel was just a short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Good restaurants close by for which the hotel was happy to make reservations. Wonderful breakfast buffet with a mix of local fruit and French items. Rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Excellent daily housekeeping.
View from room was amazing. Being a fan of Death in Paradise it was great to recognise many of the locations used in the TV series both around the resort and in the nearby Perle Beach, plus Deshaies was only a short drive away. Breakfast was good and the buffet dinner was reasonably priced.
Our room (duplex suite) was gorgeous, I especially liked the big balcony facing the gardens. Great breakfast and great location next to Grande Anse beach (the most beautiful beach of Guadeloupe!) Also my compliments to the excellent daily housekeeping. Thank you !
The overall location is good, although getting in and out of the hotel is sorta dangerous because it's directly on the road. The view from the room was nice. The staff was friendly and the pool offers a good view as well.
The studio apartment's (2 bedrooms) outdoor kitchen, lounge and pool area are great. The location is wonderful, very quiet and you can conveniently reach Deshaies or nearby beaches. The hosts were lovely and helpful.

The value for money here is really good. The bungalows are really cute and comfortable and the hotel is right at the beach. Best place to stay in Deshaies. Beautiful sunsets from here.
Stunning views, ample space, very spacious apartment, very clean and well appointed. It had everything! Great kitchen and great host who greeted us upon arrival!
