Default Club Med

We are a family of four and are thinking of going for a week to Club Med
in Guadeloupe. I came across some information that this Club is
frequented almost exclusively by French guests. Now, we are quite well
traveled, and one of the reasons for considering the Guadeloupe Club Med
is precisely for international flavor. On the other hand, if this Club
were to cater chiefly to a single nationality, and, for instance,
English were barely (or reluctantly) spoken an expensive vacation might
turn out to be less fun than expected. I would greatly appreciate any
info along these lines from recent guests at this Club.

In general English is not spoken in Guadeloupe. I'd ask Club Med just how
much is spoken at the resort you are interested in.

Default Club Med

It's funny that this thread was originally about St Kitts and now is about
Guadaloupe. As another data point, I would like to point out that when I
vacationed in St Kitts back in 2002, I stayed at Timothy Beach Resort and
met this retired coupe from the East Coast. They told me that they had
planned to stay in Guadaloupe for about 5 days but decided to cut it short
after 2 days. Their reason: French snobbery. They said that if you don't
speak the language, forget it, because you are literally ignored, at least
from their experience. This is second hand knowledge but that couple was
very adamant in their criticism.
