The same peculiarity applies to hotels in Guadeloupe. Sometimes a three-star hotel can offer a wider range of services and offer higher quality than five-star hotels. Taking into consideration this local peculiarity, tourists are better to book hotels depending on their preferences and feedback of other travelers rather than photographs in advertisements. If breakfast is not included in the total price, don’t be surprised when the hotel’s staff offers coffee with croissants, buns, and sandwiches. This is an old tradition that came to Caribbean France from continental France.

Despite the warm climate and resort orientation of Guadeloupe, local people do not wear beach clothing outside beaches. There are no strict limitations for tourists, but restaurants do not accept visitors in beach clothing. Beachside or poolside bars and cafes are the only exceptions. Local dress code is very simple: swim in a swimming suit, and don’t forget to put on some clothing on top of the swimming suit when heading to the city. This doesn’t mean that smart clothes are needed – usual summer clothing is enough. That being said, there may be the dress code (pants, shirt, dress, skirt, blouse) rules in some venues and events. Do not take pictures of local people without their permission. Don’t forget that they are not a landmark. Simply smile and ask permission.
