Marie-Galante is in the lower-mid range of Guadeloupean budgets — the limited but not very touristic offer allows attractive prices. The reference budget of €90/day/person covers a comfortable stay: family Creole guesthouse (€60-100/night for 2), meal at popular lolo (€12-18/person), Château Murat eco-museum entry (€7), scooter hire (€25-35/day) or car (€40-55/day). A budget traveller can manage on €55-75/day with simple guesthouse (€40-70/night), meals at the market or in popular lolos (€8-15), bike (€15-20/day). The luxury traveller finds their place at boutique hotel 'La Maison à Saint-Louis' (€150-220/night) or in private villa (€200-400/night). Food: tourments d'amour €1-2 each (buy at landing place or markets), bokit €4-7, lolo lunch €12-18, Creole restaurant dinner €25-40 (Le Touloulou in Capesterre, Le Mancenillier in Grand-Bourg). Distillery visits free. No bank/ATM outside Grand-Bourg — bring cash.
