"It’s not uncommon to talk about the Caribbean as though it were a single destination, but one of the reasons for its perennial appeal is that it’s a place that offers a near-infinite variety of experiences. At one extreme there’s the all-inclusive beachside mega-resort; at the other extreme there’s a place like Le Jardin Malanga, just outside of Trois Rivières, Guadeloupe. Nestled into the forest ten minutes up the hillside from the beach, it’s blessed with stunning views of the nearby Saintes islands. And it’s far from a mega-resort, or even a resort — it’s just a Twenties-era colonial mansion plus three freestanding cottages, making for an atmosphere that’s as tranquil as can be." - Tablet Hotels
