We loved our 2 weeks at this villa. Everything is as described. It was our first time in Guadaloupe but we have stayed at villas all over the Caribbean.
It was lovely to come home to the refreshing pool after a day of sightseeing. There is a lot of privacy and the view is magnificent. We felt very safe, as we did everywhere in Guadeloupe. The kitchen is well equipped. Emily the concierge was helpful and professional. When the internet failed (due to a windstorm) she dropped what she was doing and arrived immediately to fix it.
The only thing we found a bit odd (owner's choice I guess) was that very few basics are provided. i.e. one garbage bag, one toilet roll, one hotel-sized body wash, no laundry detergent, for a 2 week stay is not something we have encountered before in other villas. But not a big deal to purchase, as we were buying groceries anyway. And perhaps this policy helps reduce needless waste. NB: Pool/beach towels not provided but we had brought our own.
We would definitely stay at Tikali again. We miss our little bird friends from the terrace. Merci from Canada.
