Le Soleil Levant

Guadeloupe


Perched high above the center of Capesterre, this hotel offers stunning views over the coast. Rooms are practical and unexciting, but you'll be too busy lounging by the pool and drinking up the view to mind. There's an on-site restaurant, though it isn't always open when it should be.
