Wonderfully tranquil hotel. A million dollar view. Few issues with ants in the balcony. Some communication issues - I was promised an invoice by email but nothing was sent. Additionally, I was charged for 4 breakfasts instead of 3. The staff said they were “unable” to credit my card for the additional breakfast,?which seemed strange to me. Very helpful staff and attentive to requests.

This is a very beautiful location! The staff was super helpful and very friendly. This boutique hotel does not have a restaurant but does provide catering, so you can get breakfast in the morning and dinner service in the evening. There is no bar per se but they do serve a mean Plantar 😉 The plunge pool in March ‘24 was amazingly warm, like bathwater! The grounds are beautiful, it’s private and safe. No beach access but you can see the ocean and it is stunning!! Highly suggest renting a car, you can park on the grounds & there are a number of dining options in the area. The staff will help you set up reservations. The only drawback is our TV did not work and the Wi-Fi is a little wonky. We did stay in the first floor, which was next to the kitchen but really no problem. Located conveniently between St. Anne & St. François. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay 💜

Incredible view, impeccable service.
This hotel has a fantastic view that will make proud of your choice right at the start. It is very clean, the staff is friendly and helpful and professional. Clarisse at the desk has one of the best welcome and advices that I had on vacation. Everything is well thought and perfect. The mattress, the linen, separate towels for pool and even the bathroom products are first class. We liked it so much that we stayed 2 extra days.

Une fois de plus, nous avons passé un séjour fantastique à Amado. Philippe, Alessandra, Laurent et tous les autres membres du personnel ont été si sympathiques et accueillants. Nous avons vraiment apprécié les améliorations apportées depuis notre dernier séjour, notamment quelques nouvelles rénovations, un petit-déjeuner plus élaboré et un bar à tapas. Nous recommandons fortement de demeurer dans cet établissement pour un séjour reposant et agréable.

Everything was perfect.
Everything about the hotel was wonderful. The room was lovely, with a gorgeous view, very comfortable bed, and nice bathroom. Having morning coffee or a pre-dinner drink on the balcony enjoying the view and serenity was my favorite thing. I spent a lot of time in the infinity pool which also had a beautiful view and was the perfect temperature. Lucille, the hotel manager, was so welcoming when we arrived and very helpful throughout our stay, especially arranging special things to do and helping us choose restaurants, and the location outside Saint Francois turned out to be just right

Amaudo Wonderful
We stayed at Amaudo as part of an island hopping vacation in the Caribbean. Amaudo is a very well run hotel with excellent service. It is a little out of the way and you definitely need a car. The resort has a beautiful infinity pool. The only negative is that unfortunately they have neighbors with barking dogs which could be annoying. The room is set up with the fridge outside, which was different. Great hotel which is very well taken care of.

Dear Customers, Thank you for all of these nice reviews, unfortunately these dogs are very noisy we are completely agree with you but we called several time the police and they finally came and force the neighboor to find another place to rent because the garden was too small for all of these six dogs or he will have to find other owner for 3 of them.

A cute and welcoming hotel
The hotel is located close to the city but does not have access to a beach. Rooms are spacious and cozy, well organized and very comfortable to use. We received a clean room and kept it that way throughout our stay. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and helped us with everything we needed. The staff also speaks English! Most useful! The breakfasts are nice and are served on a spectacular terrace. Overall they enjoyed the stay and recommend the hotel warmly.

Amazing views & service
We booked a surprise holiday to the Caribbean for my Mother, for her 60th birthday and booked them into the hotel after reading great reviews. I heard Lucile was an exceptional hostess and wonderful, friendly person. Lucile looked after my mother and aunt, ensuring they had a fantastic time, Lucile made sure they were comfortable at all times, helped them travel around the island and suggested wonderful restaurants. The hotel was beautiful and they had stunning views from their balcony and enjoyed the infinity pool.

Our stay was wonderful! We stayed with our 5 months old baby, and had a great tme. The manager and host, Lucile, was exceptionally helpful and kind - assisting us with recommendations about beaches and restaurants, as well as with anything else we needed. The breakfast is great, the pool is spacious enough and has a beautiful view, the room is nicely decorated, and overall we had lovely stay in a place which felt like home away from home.

Peaceful and sereign athmosphere
Great family owned property. We arrived late and the lady ( I cannot think of her name) was readily available to show us around the room and the property. fresh flowers and awesome drink was ready for us. the night was really peaceful. the area is well kept with nice pool and nice view of the ocean Keep in mind that the property does not have access to the beach WI Fi worked really good. Room were standard european style. As an american who travel a lot I know how to lower my expectation and be happy with a good night sleep. The matress was a lil told but hey I was there for only one night. Just some TBT Driving here from the airport is horrible with the traffic. As in most of Guadeloupe, stores close fairly early.

Wonderful place to stay
A delightful place to stay. The staff, Lucille and Lauren went out of their way to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable. We arrived in the evening; it is a little hard to find and we needed to use our GPS to find it. Lucille speaks English very well so communication was not a problem. We found that many people on the island do not speak English, so she was our "go-to" person for anything we needed. The hotel is clean, comfortable and has a magnificent view of the sea. Infinity pool was great as was the breakfast we had every morning (this is extra and not in your room charge). It took the worry out of having to get up and find a place to eat. Cannot say enough about how nice it was!

Paradise
This is a beautiful small hotel situated on a quiet, mainly residential road about 5 minutes drive outside St. François.The property is very clean, neat and tidy with pleasant gardens and infinity pool to the rear which overlooks the Caribbean Sea and over to Dominica and Marie Galante. Breakfast is taken looking out over the pool, gardens and the water beyond which is a perfect way to start the day. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean and decorated in a French style with a modern ensuite. Annie and Philippe are perfect hosts and are very kind and helpful. This is a quiet, intimate hotel and perfect as a base to explore the rest of the island of Guadeloupe as well as the smaller islands which are a boat ride away from St. François. Would definitely recommend staying here.

One of the best hotels I've visited
We arrived after check-in time but the manager was waiting to take us to our room and give us our welcome rum punch drinks. The room was neat and clean and had everything we wanted. The next morning we walked onto the spacious balcony and were greeted with a magnificent vista that included a view of Caribbean waves breaking on a rock formation, lush vegetation and a vista that went on for miles. Morning breakfasts by the infinity pool were superb - fresh fruit, french pastries, yogurt, fresh juice, tea or coffee. Annie and Philippe couldn't have been nicer hosts. They answered all of our questions and provided expert advice on local sites and dining. We had to leave at 6 am to catch our flight and both were up to wish us farewell.

Philippe and Annie were phenomenal hosts. They were so helpful in making our stay comfortable, and they recommended great restaurants. The view from the hotel is gorgeous, overlooking the sea. The pool and lounge area are extremely comfortable. You need a car to get around. If you are looking for a cute bed and breakfast with amazing hosts, a beautiful view, at a good value, this is the place!

Charming hotel, peaceful and secluded.
This is a small hotel in two colonial style buildings about 10 minutes by car from the excellent restaurants of Saint François and 20 minutes from the town of Saint Anne. It has 10 rooms, a breakfast area, and a good infinity pool overlooking the Carribean. The hotel is meticulously clean. The couple who run it, Phillippe and Annie are warmth and hospitality itself full of useful tips and directions to help you get the best out of a stay. The breakfasts of fresh tropical fruits, breads and croissant and coffee are a great start to the day. Otherwise, dining out is a must as the hotel does not have a restaurant and due to its peaceful location a hire car is also an essential. There are however many excellent restaurants and I was able to rely on the recommendations of Phillippe and Annie. I think that some knowledge of French is helpful in Guadeloupe as this is the first language, the second being creole, and English a distant third.

Beautiful place
This hotel is wonderful, better for leisure than business but never the less a lovely relaxing place, its bed and breakfast and the breakfast served is fresh and plentiful. Generally the rooms, pool, gardens and surrounding areas are really well kept, very clean, tidy and well maintained. It is tucked away off the main road and I had no difficulty finding it as it is well signed from the main N4. I would not hesitate to stay at Amaudo when next visiting Guadeloupe.
