We stayed here only to conveniently catch a flight out of Cayenne the following day and were dazzled. Our standard room was small, but brilliantly designed. Somehow they get racks for two 36” duffles, a full-length mirror, laundry hanging options and all other truly necessary amenities into that Novotel-scale space! The pool looked large and inviting, everything was spotless, the... More

There was not a lot of choice of hotels when this trip was organised so the preference for the Novotel chain was easy and made fast. The first experience was amazing positive. The outdoor reception desk, the bar and restaurant area, the pool area all in one line brought in under a very modern design but in the same time... More

Very nice team. Excellent reception. Especially Lloyd made us feel very welcome & provided very good tips & help for the stay. Excellent English. Very close to the beach. Bus to town in front of the hotel. Hire care highly recommended though to get around. Compared to local standards, everything was very good. Unfortuanely, the hallway to the rooms (2nd... More

L’hôtel a été rénové et tout est propre et net. Le personnel est aimable en général, avec quelques petites exceptions, mais pour la plupart ce sont des personnes affables et prêtes à aider les clients avec un sourire. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et le cadre agréable. Mais si vous voulez utiliser Internet, préparez-vous à quelques frustrations. Le signal est... More

There is no competition in hotel business here in Cayenne so quality of service is none of the concern. This hotel is catered mostly to tour groups so for independent travelers be prepared to encounter minimal service. We asked the reception for the operating hours of certain Cayenne attractions and were told to look them up ourselves on the internet.... More

Recently renovated, this is one slick hotel. Rooms are spacious with impeccable and modern euro-minimalist decor. Breakfast buffet is excellent and the bar is well stocked. Wide ranging euro-american lunch and dinner menu with outrageous prices that are typical for the area. I found the wide open lobby very attractive with bench seating, private 'cabana' tables, plasma TV-booths, and a... More

More or less a good hotel, but some problems. Upon arrival I learned that the restaurant would be closed during my whole stay. The pool was also closed, and the grounds were under construction. I had reserved the more expensive room with balcony but I was given a standard room with small window. The hotel was prepared to charge me... More

I spent 3 nights in a Superior Room with a balcony on the top (3rd floor) overlooking the pool and exotic garden of the Novotel Cayenne and enjoyed every minute I spent there. Superior rooms will cost you € 150 including breakfast. Standard rooms cost € 130 but have a tiny window. Go for the Superior. You can also make... More
