One of the most charming hotels in the French Caribbean has officially reopened, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

LoBleu, the tiny boutique hotel on the island of Terre de Haut in Guadeloupe’s Les Saintes archipelago, began welcoming back guests this week. 

It’s the best place to stay on an island that’s long been a well-guarded secret among Caribbean aficionados.

LoBleu, just a short stroll from the main ferry dock on Terre de Haut, has a total of 11 rooms in a direct beachfront setting. 

That’s along with a panoramic deck and terrace with a bar and lounge.
