Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Le Raizet airport is about 3 km from the centre of Pointe-à-Pitre, just 15 minutes by car or 20 by taxi (25-30 euros): here, sleeping in the city or sleeping "near the airport" almost always amount to the same thing. The offer consists mostly of private apartments in the historic centre, around Place de la Victoire and the harbour, rather than big chains.
