Money and costs

Like most of the French overseas territories – including neighboring Martinique – Guadeloupe quickly proves to be an expensive destination, also because it uses the Euro. Most establishments, even many of the less sophisticated ones, allow payments with credit and debit cards. ATMs are abundant in the main towns. 

ACCOMMODATION 

Prices start at around €85 per double room in the most humble hotels. You're going to have a hard time finding something cheaper than this. 

FOOD 

Prices are high, even if you settle your meals with supermarket purchases. If you think that restaurants add inflated value to what they serve, dishes between €13 and €15 and the cost of meals in regular restaurants between €30 and €50 to start with are justified.

INTERNET 

It is found more frequently, offered by hotels, bars and restaurants. Otherwise, it costs around €5 an hour at internet houses.
