Apparently La Toubana, Sainte Anne, Guadaloupe is a wonderful island resort, which somehow has two small bungalows available through RCI.

The TripAdvisor reviews of La Toubana are top-notch, and the Tug reviews of the RCI units are bottom-of-the-barrel.

I'm hoping the 2017-2018 renovations at the resort extended to the RCI units. Could this be so?

Conan, did you ever find out the answer to this? Do you have an upcoming vaca there? Inquiring minds want to know. :) (We're going to Guadeloupe too in the future, have 2 consecutive wks at Green Blue Houses. Might put in for the upgrade for one of them to La Toubana, for variety, if exchangers are happy now.)

No, not yet. I had a confirmation over 10 years ago that I ended up having to cancel, so it's been on my radar to visit sometime ... hope you'll come back to post a review or comment on your experience.

Friends have stayed there and enjoyed the location. Room was nice, but not stellar. I like the looks of St Francois, although it is a long way from the airport. I have read it is better to rent a car than try to use taxis, which are very pricey there.

I have a week reserved in June, 2021. Paid 12 TP for a 1-bedroom unit.

I'm hopeful they cleaned up the RCI units--this review on Tripadvisor says "collected in partnership with RCI"

Time will tell.

Thanks, Conan.

btw there's a series supposedly filmed on Basse Terre in Guadeloupe, "Death in Paradise" - season 3 is on Public TV Explorer channel currently, and seasons 1-2 are avail at Netflix DVD.
