Habitation Grande Anse

Lying across the coastal road from one of the island's best beaches, Grande-Anse, this somewhat battered assemblage of bungalows and studio apartments, each with natural-grained wood trim, is evocative of a Mediterranean village. All units have kitchenettes and contain rattan furniture, white walls, and a simple, summery decor that's well suited to life close to the beach. Don't expect too many activities here -- the focus is on sunbathing surrounded by the tropical landscaping beside the beach. The on-site restaurant is, in theory, open for breakfast and dinner, but because the hotel does not have a full-time chef and because business is often slow, it may not be running when you visit. But since most guests are devoted to preparing their own meals, no one really seems to care.
