Le Meridien La Cocoteraie is close to the little village of St François in Guadeloupe amd is ideally situated between the excellent 18 hole golf designed by Robert Trent Jones and a marvellous turquoise blue lagoon. Sports rule at this modern resort hotel on a sprawling property featuring a lovely beach and Robert Trent Jones golf course. Though all rooms have a seaview, they're a bit plain - but then, you won't spend much time indoors with such an organized activities program, offering not only tennis, gym, a grand pool with a buzzing social scene, and extensive watersports but also the chance to pilot your own seaplane. There's a gourmet restaurant (though some say it's overrated) and a nearby casino.
