Staff members at Canella Beach Hotel speak French, English, Italian, and Spanish, so communicating is easier here than it is at some hotels in the beautiful Guadeloupe archipelago (where French is spoken almost exclusively). The resort offers a bevy of water sports—many of which are free—on the white-sand beach as well as adult and children's freshwater pools. Night clubs, cabarets, and a movie theater are within easy walking distance of the hotel as are additional restaurants, shops, a casino, and a car-rental office. Lounge chairs and towels are provided for the beach and pool, and guests may sign up with the friendly massage therapist for an utterly relaxing massage. This hotel features 145 guest studios, apartments, lofts, and suites. Each unit has attractive rattan furniture, individual air conditioning, cable TV, and a kitchenette located on a covered open-air terrace. Set right on the beach with a terrace facing the sea, this tropical restaurant serves inventive Creole, French, and international cuisine for lunch and dinner. A lobster tank is an indication of the freshness of the seafood. Guests may dine in the air-conditioned area or enjoy warm ocean breezes on the open-air terrace. Dishes are also available to go. Also located on the property are a Beach Bar and a separate Snack Bar. ***There is a municipal tax of $1.00 per person, per night that will be charged upon check-out.***
