Club Med La Caravelle Review

This all-inclusive chain resort, covering 19 hectares (47 acres) along a peninsula dotted with palm trees, opens onto one of the finest beaches in the French West Indies. The renovated guest rooms tend to be small but have good beds. (All but 10 units have twin beds; the others have queen-size beds.) The building known as Marie-Galante contains the resort's largest and most comfortable rooms (each with a terrace or veranda). Children are welcome here, and there's been an upgrade in the facilities here, with a "Mini-Club" with child-minding and day-camp facilities. The resort has an annex containing only single rooms. The meals here are nothing if not generous. The breakfast and lunch buffet tables groan with French, Continental, and Creole food. Dinner is served in the main dining room or in the candlelit, more romantic annex restaurant beside the sea.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; children's program; fitness center; gym; aerobics; archery; basketball; volleyball; Internet; outdoor pool; nightclub; 4 tennis courts; kayaks; snorkeling; scuba diving; windsurfing; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

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.
