Pointe-à-Pitre is one of the most affordable destinations in Guadeloupe (excluding city centre hotels). The reference budget of €80/day/person covers a comfortable stay: night in hotel or guesthouse (€60-100/night for 2 people), meal in a popular lolo (€12-18/person), site entries (ACTe Memorial €15, other museums free or €5-8), local transport. A budget traveller can manage on €50-65/day by opting for lolos (bokit €5-7, Creole meal €10-15) and peripheral hotels (Le Gosier, Le Bas-du-Fort €80-120/night). For a more comfortable stay, plan €100-150/day with 3-4 star hotel (€120-200) and gourmet restaurants (€35-50/person). The food budget is one of the best value: bokits €4-7, lolo meals €12-18, ti-punch €3-5, lunch on the Darse €18-25. Avoid tourist restaurants near the cathedral (inflated prices without superior quality).
