The modern, 211-room, mid-range La Creole Beach straddles the line between business hotel and family-friendly vacation hotel, though plenty of locals have started coming for its beachside nouveau-Creole seafood restaurant as well. It's a sprawling, 10-acre property centrally located in Gosier, within an hour of most of Guadeloupe's tourist destinations. Clean, basic rooms are a bit disappointing for the price (and not up to advertised four-star standards), and most have French balconies with nowhere to sit. The pool and man-made beach are the main draws here, as are the large conference rooms. Most will prefer it to the nearby (more affordable) Hotel Fleur d'Epée, but those who want an all-inclusive experience should consider Club Med La Caravelle near Sainte-Anne. The hotel's pricier sister property, La Toubana, is more upscale and better suited for couples.

Hotel-Residence Canella Beach is a past-its-prime, three-pearl hotel located on a beach a short drive from the town center of Gosier. The hotel’s 143 rooms offer terraces, sitting areas, and kitchenettes, but housekeeping and maintenance are sometimes not up to standard. Renovated rooms are inviting, but the un-renovated rooms are dull and old-fashioned. The private beach is decent, while the pool and restaurant are run-of-the-mill. A free buffet breakfast is included in the room rate, and the hotel’s central location is ideal for exploring the island. For cleaner rooms and a better restaurant, it could be worth paying more to stay at La Creole Beach Hotel, another centrally located mid-range property.
