Pros: Beautiful beaches, scenery, rainforests
Cons: Some places are a bit trashed

Review Topic:  Sports & Outdoors

Guadeloupe is a terrific island for seeing diverse and spectacular tropical scenery. The island of Basse-Terre is more mountainous, contains the Parc National de la Guadeloupe, and has a ton...

Pros: Warm, humid weather
Cons: Guadeloupe is a poor island

If you are looking for a warm vacation spot, this is the one. Guadeloupe is much more educational and exotic then tropical places like Hawaii. In Guadeloupe, most people speak French, which is a good way to pick up some of the language. Unlike the United...

Pros: Plenty to see and do on both land and sea.
Cons: Water is not as clear as on some other islands

I visited Guadeloupe for a total of 21 days in June of 1998. Our group rented a sailboat which we lived on for 10 days, then stayed on land for the remainder of the time. Despite my being prone to seasickness, and despite the heat (no air...

Pros: Fantastic scenery, clear sea, warm people
Cons: Helps if you speak French

I lived in Guadeloupe for 5 months, from Feb 2000 - July 2000 and loved it. It really is my paradise on earth. It was my first experience of the Caribbean and was everything I'd hoped for: clear seas, perfect for swimming, clean beaches (locals clear up...

Pros: Glass bottom boat tours are the way to go.
Cons: I got a little bit bus sick since the roads were pretty hilly and curvy.

Pros: Beautiful Tropical Island
Cons: Some areas including Gosier seem like they have seen better days, Some Anti American Sentiment.

Traveled to Guadeloupe on the second week of May 03.
Weather was great 80's and partly cloudy every day.
Island is Beautiful, except for the more populated parts.

Rented a car through Budget at the airport, first class service, and...

Pros: Creole food, friendly natives, beautiful beaches and rainforests, non touristy
Cons: isolated, extremely hot

I think everyone should go to Les Saintes, Guadeloupe. These two smaller Guadeloupian islands, Terre-de-Haut and Terre-de-Bas, are truly hidden treasures. With a lush Creole culture combined with a French European charm, Guadeloupe has an interesting...

Pros: Wonderful tropical sights, ocean, and sandy beaches; Club Med food was fabulous
Cons: Hot and humid; no cash machine nor working Internet access at Club Med; sun screen!

My wife and I and our 12-year-old daughter visited for about 9 days in June, 2005. The weather was 80s and 90s (degrees F) and usually humid. The island is beautiful; very much tropical. The economy outside of tourism is largely agriculture with sugar ...

Pros: Beautiful island
Cons: They hate Americans!!!

I just returned from Gosier, Guadeloupe. I fled home after only two days after being harassed and yelled at by the locals for being American (or as they called me and my husband criminals, pigs, some other very pleasant words). To any Americans who are...
