Sofitel Auberge de la Vieille Tour

Frommer's Review

Though today it's a Sofitel, this place was once a family inn built around the shadow of an old sugar mill. Set on a 3-hectare (7 1/2 -acre) bluff, the property encompasses a small private beach.

The older guest rooms are relatively short on charm. The better maintained units are usually within La Résidence, a series of town house-style accommodations set near the pool. Their desirability is rivaled only by units referred to as "luxury-class," set close to the water near the beach. Rooms have comfortable furnishings and compact bathrooms with shower stalls or tub/shower combinations.

The restaurants La Vieille Tour and Le Zagaya serve excellent French and Creole food, respectively, in relatively elegant, semiformal settings. L'Ajoupa is a grill-style indoor-outdoor affair.
