Veronique est superbe! She saved us several times with our limited french. Also we didnt rent a car which was a mistake on our part. The pool was lovely. It is a short walk to the hot river but much longer (straight up) on the way back. Very much worth going to though. Also close to jaques cousteau preserve. Really good self.guided kayak and snorkeling tour. Still better with a car. And we are happy to walk usually. She cooked a dinner and breakfast that were excellent. The apartment is a good size with a fantastic view.

This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, tennis at the tennis court, free private parking and free WiFi. The holiday park features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. We spent a delightful 6 days at La Bougainvillier Blanc in late January. We have poor French-language skills but we managed quite well, aided by a translation app on our phone (you need lots of data - 50 MB). We deliberately didn’t rent a car - that worked because we like walking. If that’s not your preference, you’ll have an easier time with a rental. Our favourite places were the larger local beach, Plage Caraibe, (great snorkelling at the north end) which was about 5 km away, and the Chute de Acomet, a beautiful little waterfall with lots of little pools downstream, which was 7.5 km away. That made for some long walks with some significant hills. Fortunately, there is also a local transport system available which made it easy to get to the other nearby beach (Plage de Petite Anse). Hitch-hiking is considered normal. Good local maps are free at the tourist office. Our gracious host Lucien has a wonderful little swimming pool at the guesthouse, so an end-of-day swim was part of our routine. The trickiest part for us was dinner – we tried to get back to La Bougainvillier Blanc by sunset to avoid walking in the dark, but most restaurants only opened later. We worked around this by eating a large late lunch (good choices at the beaches), eating at the one restaurant that opened at 17:00 (An Ba Tol La), or else making our own dinner in our well-equipped kitchen. If you have a car, there are at least 3 good restaurants close by. Pointe-Noire is not a tourist town so most shops close in the afternoon. Some useful shops that are open most of the day are along the main road (N2) – there are two pharmacies in the centre of town, and a large grocery ((Carrefour Express) and a good bakery/coffee shop on the southern half of town. We weren’t looking for a lot of tourist activities – just a quiet, peaceful time with low-key, interesting things to do each day. La Bougainvillier Blanc and Pointe-Noire were perfect for that.

Yoga classes and fitness classes are arranged at the fitness room in house. For guests with children, the holiday park offers a baby safety gate. If you would like to discover the area, snorkelling, hiking and walking tours are possible in the surroundings and Au Jardin Des Colibris Ecolodge&Spa can arrange a car rental service. The property was beautiful and secluded in the jungle. The breakfast kit was delicious and convenient. The staff were extremely helpful and responsive.
