We stayed in this hotel for 7 nights in May, i.e. low season. We arrived at 8pm when reception was already closed but there was a sign for us with a number to call and assistance arrived within a couple of minutes. Please note that Google maps has the address for this place slightly wrong. We followed the directions and ended up a few roads further on, having to do a three point turn in the dark and with the backwheels in a ditch! The next morning the manager took us back with a few helpful blokes who managed to lift the car out without any problems, great assistance! We opted to have breakfast every morning. Whilst it may seem expensive €15.50 per person) what you pay for is having limitless breakfadt in a beautiful setting overlooking the pool. Btw, this hotel was the setting for one of the death in paradise episodes. Breakfast was buffet style with fruit, yoghurts, cheese and cold meats, , pastries, rolls, cereals and cooked eggs to order. On days where there are only very few people you have the breakfast delivered directly to you table. Whilst we were there, the restaurant was closed but we managed to sort ourselves out a quick snack from the basic food store next door (by the petrol station) and after that found a couple of larger supermarkets towards St. Rose (E Leclerc and Carrefour). Of the two, we preferred the carrefour where we also managed to buy some cheap towels for the beach. The apartments on our side had all been newly renovated and were beautifully done up. The main room has aircon enabling a good nights sleep. The bathroom feels luxurious with a walk in shower. The terrace has a small kitchen corner with a fridge, microwave and a two ring ceramic hob. There was plenty of equipment to cook for two. Mosquitos were a problem though, even with 50% deet but so far, no major effects. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Hire a car and there are plenty of attractions to explore within an hours drive.

We stayed at HGA for two weeks in a second floor suite with an outdoor kitchen on the terrace. Everything was as advertised in a very beautiful setting. Staff were extremely friendly: reception, cleaning staff, and gardeners. All friendly and eager to help. The pool is probably the cleanest we have ever been to, this can also be said of the rooms, which were well appointed and comfortable. The air-conditioning was efficient and quiet, kept us cool on some very hot nights. Grounds are well kept and there was constant work being done to maintain them. The kitchen had everything we needed for a simple meal, which was nice after a day of being out, we just wanted to dine in on the deck. We are Death in Paradise fans and we were lucky to bump into a scene being filmed and had our picture taken with the lead actor. Short walk to the beach and to a gas station/store that had most needs. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend this establishment.
