Fodor's Expert Review Habitation Getz

Rte. de Gery, Basse-Terre, 97119, Guadeloupe

This former coffee plantation offers unique accommodations in its great house or in unique tree houses—ideal for a family that wants to play Swiss Family Robinson. The owners tastefully restored this 18th-century property, adding antiques, chandeliers, and other period furnishings. The hosts are welcoming and hospitable. Three tree houses—accessed by ladders—are comfortable and are equipped with electricity, hot showers, dry toilets, refrigerators, and Wi-Fi. The two guest rooms in the main house are elegant, with nice bathrooms, mini-fridges, and Wi-Fi. A beautiful pool is a welcome addition. Weekly rates offer a real value. (No children under 2 permitted in treehouses for safety reasons.)
