At the end of your stay, return to the airport to leave the car and check in for your return flight.

The Golf Village Hotel *** appears as a privileged place of warmth thanks to an exceptional placement of a site combining lush nature and a calm atmosphere. Its exceptional 4 hectare park, its pool, and the amiability of its staff make for a particularly popular establishment in Guadeloupe; these are the attributes that widely compensate for the fact that the Golf Village Hotel is not located at sea side (1,5 km as the crow flies). The property, located on a hill at the top of the residential area called "Les Hauts de Saint-Francois", overlooks the 18 hole international golf course and the sea, and is therefore gently washed by the trade winds.

Star Clippers Cruises : The real sailing vessels!

Your Cruise line
Star Clippers operates three of the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels!

Visiting ports often untouched by larger cruise ships and offering passengers the activities, amenities and atmosphere of a private yacht, Star Clippers is recognized as one of the premier specialty cruise lines. It’s a romantic ambiance in a comfortable and modern setting. Come on board Star Clipper, Star Flyer, or Royal Clipper

to get the feeling of the sailors of the old days where adventure begins.

Your itinerary
The world you’ve discovered with Star Clippers is unlike the one you’ll find on a cruise ship. It’s as if you had your own chartered yacht and could sail anywhere you wanted. Star Clippers ships sail to private places, protected anchorages of magnificent small islands.

The ships currently sail throughout the Caribbean, Mediterranean, the Baltic, Costa Rica, and Panama Canal. More in details, the Star Clipper’s Caribbean itineraries begin in St. Maarten or Barbados. From St Maarten, her Treasure Islands voyage sails northward to the Leeward and the British Virgin Islands. Her Leeward Islands voyage ventures southward to Guadeloupe and Dominica, sampling the best of the Leeward Islands. The flagship, Royal Clipper, sails from Barbados on alternating voyages to the Grenadines and the Windward Islands. The Caribbean venues where Star Clipper and Royal Clipper sail are famous for the glorious sailing weather, and every voyage promises the thrill of passage making under full sail.

Your Cabin
Like a fine resort, all the amenities are here,  and you’ll find the accoutrements of a luxurious classic yacht, where everything is ingeniously designed for comfort, ease and efficiency:

Double bed or twin beds that can be converted to queen, marble bathroom, private safe, television with in-cabin video, DVD player, direct-dial telephone, hairdryer and comfortable furnishings. The decor is tastefully traditional. Burnished brass fittings and mahogany bright work recall our nautical heritage. Soft natural fabrics reflect the colours of the sun, sea and sky. Prints of famous clipper ships and sailing yachts grace the walls. Everything is immaculately maintained and your steward knows exactly when to appear or disappear. On Royal Clipper, 14 deluxe suites offer the ultimate in cruising comfort, with private veranda, whirlpool tub and 24-hour room service. All but six of her 98 cabins are outside, and for the ultimate indulgence, two 355 square foot owner’s suites may be combined to accommodate up to eight guests.

Dining
On all three ships, you are free to dine when and with whomever you wish – including officers, who join the guests in the dining room most nights.

When you rise, help yourself to a continental breakfast with croissants, toasted English muffins or sweet Danish pastries. Or savour a full breakfast with fresh tropical fruits and crisp bacon, grilled sausage, smoked salmon and omelettes cooked to order in the dining room. At lunch, a marvellous buffet of seafood, salads and grilled favourites awaits your pleasure. If the day includes a stop at one of the paradisiacal islands we frequent, you might also be treated to a festive outdoor barbecue on shore. When evening comes, our elegantly appointed dining room featuring a splendid collection of paintings of sailing ships becomes the setting for the chef’s finest culinary presentations, designed to please the eye and the palate. All complemented by equally fine wines. You’ll find our service to be friendly and gracious, befitting a sophisticated restaurant. Of course, Star Clippers would not presume to dictate your seating preferences. The dress code? No need for formal gowns and black tie, casual elegance is the order of the day and each night.

Activities
Clearly this is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense. On Star Clippers, you will find that there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days.

To entertain passengers, Star Clippers bring local performers on board to give you an authentic taste of the local music and arts. You’ll enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise. The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on Star Clippers. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative, and a chance to hear some great story-telling as well. And there are other events and activities during the day and night that have evolved from Star Clippers’ sailing heritage. In fact, all Star Clippers passengers say that they enjoy Star Clippers ‘ easy-going informality and it makes the cruise so special.

Services
Friends gather round the Piano Bar and join in singing a few favourites. And in the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcher full of some delicious cooling concoction. Now, is there anything more relaxing than this?

All Star Clippers ships feature open-seating dining in an elegantly appointed dining room, our convivial indoor-outdoor Tropical Bar and Piano Bar, and an Edwardian style library where a Belle Époque fireplace glows with warmth that reflects the friendliness and enthusiasm of Star Clippers’ hospitable officers and crew.

Star Clipper and Star Flyer are both 360 feet long and each carries just 170 guests in pampered comfort. Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like traveling on a private yacht. You’ll never feel confined on Star Clipper or Star Flyer. Each ship offer spacious accommodations and expansive teak decks with ample space.
For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439 foot Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. A full 19,000 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment.

Introduction

Oualie Beach Resort is a very unique Caribbean experience. The property is owned by the Yearwood family of Nevis whose ancestors came to the Caribbean from the UK in 1650. Oualie Beach in Nevis reflects the unspoiled beauty of this island, which seems to resemble the Caribbean as it once was. Nevis villas and hotels blend into the surroundings along with world-class golf courses and pretty, uncrowded beaches.

Location

Oualie Beach is a small three and a half star Beachfront Resort located on a sheltered cove on the Leeward side of Nevis. Children and the less efficient swimmers feel safe and at ease in the water. Oualie Bay is a crescent shaped cove with about 1100 feet of sandy beach. The sand is a mixture of coral and land sand creating a mix of golden and white sand. The resort is unique in that it offers the high standard of facilities, services and range of activities that are normally associated with a big resort, whilst maintaining the friendly, associated with informal feel of a small, family run Inn.

Rooms

The Hotel is right on the beach and has just 32 rooms located in gingerbread Caribbean style cottages. Oualie Beach hotel has a wide selection of Villas and Hotel rooms. The rooms are spaciously scattered along the beach in single and two storey Gingerbread Cottages that reflect the traditional Caribbean style architecture of the Island.
