Best hotels in Saint-Pierre: 6 picks between the lagoon and Terre Sainte

Saint-Pierre's big beachfront hotel ( the only other one on the sand, the Alizé Plage, is a small 2-star ). It sits at the western end of the seafront, by Ravine Blanche, with direct beach access and an infinity pool facing the lagoon. The Deluxe rooms, which make up most of the hotel, and the Deluxe Beach Front rooms get the best of the view.

Between the Le Grand Large restaurant and the Perle d'Ambre spa ( hammam and hot tub, over-16s only ), there's little reason to leave in the evening. Guests rave about the oceanfront setting first, then the staff and cleanliness. The Saturday street market sets up on the same boulevard.

Saint-Pierre's only 4-star hotel sits on the seafront boulevard, facing the lagoon and a short stroll from the centre. It describes itself as a reinvented Creole house, all white buildings and tropical gardens that light up beautifully at night.

Its Spa Garden ( hot tub and sauna ) is one of the most complete in town, alongside a heated pool, a gym, Le Pierre restaurant and La Voile Blanche bar. Guests praise the welcome, the comfortable rooms and a generous Creole breakfast. Meeting rooms make it a good choice for business trips too.

A small four-unit guesthouse in the heart of Terre Sainte, Saint-Pierre's old fishing quarter, about 300 metres from the beach. Every unit has its own bathroom, a kitchen and air conditioning, and some have sea or mountain views.

The stylish decor and the owners' welcome come up in almost every review, which explains one of the highest scores in town. There's a pool for the hottest part of the day, and Terre Sainte's restaurants are a few minutes' walk away.

A recent, colourful hotel in the old fishing quarter, decorated by street artists. It's about a hundred metres from Terre Sainte beach and a few minutes from the town centre.

Its strength is the range of rooms: studios with a kitchenette for up to four, Deluxe rooms with lagoon views and 54 m² family rooms sleeping six. A heated pool, a bar, round-the-clock snacks and a coworking area complete the picture. Breakfast is optional.

Right in the centre on avenue des Indes, a two-minute walk from the beach according to the hotel. Rooms, studios and suites range from 22 to 40 m², set around a leafy courtyard with a small heated pool. It holds the EU Ecolabel and France's Qualité Tourisme mark.

The Le Jardin de Pierre restaurant and bar and, above all, the underground car park are a real plus in a town where parking in the centre is hard work. Guests talk about spacious, clean rooms that are well placed for exploring on foot.

Seventeen rooms over three floors on rue François Isautier, about 300 metres from the marina and the beach, close to the covered market and the bus station. The white facade with its balconies and columns sets the tone: a small, well-kept place rather than a big hotel.

There's a pool, a gym, a library and a bar with a short menu, and breakfast is a buffet. Guests praise how clean, modern and quiet it is, even though the town's restaurants are just around the corner.
