We're suckers for the relaxing atmosphere that prevails in this oasis of calm, near the
lighthouse. The five wooden bungalows are kept in good nick and are set in a well-tended
tropical garden. Added pluses include a swimming pool and a restaurant (
menus
€15-36).
The kitchen features salads made with local produce and locally caught fish. Air-con is
extra (€4).

This B&B is a winner, not least for the marvellous sense of peacefulness that
wraps the property, in a secluded hamlet up in the Hauts. The stand-alone bungalow feels
like a cosy doll's house and proffers ample coastal views. At the end of the day, make sure
you treat yourself to a copious
table d'hôte
(€25); the delicious Creole specialities are
made using local produce. From Quartier-Français, take the D46 in the direction of Deux
Rives, then follow Route des Hauts, Église du Père Laval.

The lunch
buffet, with five different Creole and Chinese dishes, is brilliant value, and the location, in
a verdant property by the river, is ace. It's at the southern end of town.
