Sleep
La Croix du SudAn upscale hotel with 32 rooms. This hotel is probably the nicest in town, although it does not have its own restaurant - the restaurant at the Dauphin Hotel is the suggested option and located less than a block away. There is a cafe available in the hotel for coffee and snacks.
Le DauphinHotel with 25 rooms/bungalows. It is owned by the same people as the Croix du Sud but is older and a bit more run down. Rooms have air conditioning, and the hotel offers free wi-fi. The restaurant serves good French colonial fare and has an attentive and friendly staff.
