Recommend’s Caribbean Editor, Ed Wetschler, has recommendations when visiting Basse-Terre. The island has a varied terrain with La Soufriere, a 4,800 ft. mildly active volcano; lush rain forests; waterfalls; hiking and canyoneering guides; and on lower elevations you can find banana and rum plantations; and museums. Recommend clients visit Museum of Cacao. The beaches range from champagne to orange to black. Wetschler suggests snorkeling, diving and kayaking are fabulous at Pigeon Island, a reserve that Jacques Cousteau called one of the top ten dive sites in the world. Basse-Terre also offers ferries to other islands.
Wetschler recommends the Langley Fort Resort, especially for first-time visitors, because most of its staff speaks English, has a private beach, exceptional watersports facilities and a nice kids club. The accommodations are separated in two wings of the property with the reception, restaurant and watersports in the center. One wing is fit for families and couples; the other has more romantic cottages for couples. Though only one full-service restaurant is on-site, plus a beach bar, you’re eating buffets for breakfast and dinner. However, the buffet choices are fresh, high quality and delicious. Lunch is a la carte. Guests also have an option of EP, MAP, or all-inclusive.
