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 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. 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.
Facilities:

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
