I spent a week at the La Toubana and I completely recommend this hotel.
The staff is warm and very kind. Rooms are clean and ones with ocean view are amazing. I also definitely suggest the restaurant, even if you (quite unfortunately) don't eat seafood.
The location of the hotel is close to some of the outstanding beaches in Guadeloupe, but if you want to go to BasseTerre, they have a twin hotel there, so you can spend a day to see that beautiful part of the island (well I should say island).
You "must" try the spa and their treatments, the staff is very professional and the experience was simply unforgettable!

I had read the varying reviews before we went and now understand how they could range from excellent to terrible. We used RCI exchange and got a "timeshare" unit. There has been a lot of deferred maintenance in our unit. Freshly painted but the closet doors were off their tracks and some modification to the closet prevented them from returning to the slides. The two burner hob was very rusty, but cleaned up it worked well enough. There was a nice toaster and a coffee maker. Minimal pots, pans and utensils (but we had brought our own good knives, dish detergent and paper towels.) The bracket that holds the hand shower was broken when we checked in late Saturday, but it was fixed by Tuesday. The chaise lounge covers outside were moldy and dirty (as reported in another review) but I stripped them off and left them at the door on Wednesday (housekeeping day for timeshares). They were replaced with nice clean ones. The outside furniture suffers from exposure in general.
All the managers spoke adequate English and were generally accommodating and friendly. The beach bar was nice and the fresh squeezed limes in the Daiquiri were welcome. The beach area has just completed a complete refurbishment and is really quite nice. The pool is lovely and has great views of sunsets over the disappearing edge. The restaurant was OK, but pricey and the service was not superb. There were problems resulting from English by the waiter and our limited French and perhaps a shortage of staff that night.
Our timeshare unit was at the very back of the property and had no view of the ocean, but was very quiet and private. We could see that the hotel units all had lovely sea views and their outdoor furniture looked new. I am sure the hotel units are very nice. I would recommend the hotel, but warn timeshare exchanges to expect problems and a less comfortable visit.. When exchanging from an RCI Gold Crown to lesser resorts, RCI had in the past warned us. They did not this time and really should have.

Le Toubana is a typical French orientated hotel, not to big so it could have a personal touch. The first thing what catches the eye is the wonderful pool + view. There are not a lot of beach chairs available, so if you come later in the day, you might to sit at a table..
There is a private beach but it is quite a steep walk down and off course up again...
During our stay, some were modifications being made at the beach facilities but I'm sure that they are well finished by now and that the result is very nice
The food is very good; the menu offers a wide range of choices.
Breakfast is basic, e.g. fried eggs are not offered.
We stayed at a bay view suite, where we had a stunning view at the sunset. We had a small garden with 2 beach chairs, with enough privacy. The only pity was that there was a small ugly fence which spoiled the view..
The bed in our nice big room was excellent !!
The town and nice beach of Saint-Anne is close but you will still need a car to get there.

We spent three wonderful nights here in November 2010. The cottages are all perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Our cottage had a large balcony, a kitchen, and a bedroom with large windows overlooking the ocean. Watching the sunsets from the balcony was tremendous. There is a private beach below the cottages -- it is a 5 minute walk down a fairly steep hill. The beach is small and not great for snorkeling, but it is gorgeous and there is a bar/restaurant on the beach. The restaurant and pool is at the top of the cliff, overlooking the ocean. The food was fantastic -- it is not your usual hotel food (and good French wine). And the view is great -- you look out over the pool and the ocean. The management was friendly, but their English is a little limited. Knowing French helps. There is Wifi in the lobby and restaurant. The rooms have TV, but we never used the TV. There is free breakfast which was good -- croissants, yogurt, cereal, etc. The town of Sainte Anne is about 2 km away -- it is not a pleasant walk because the road can be busy. You will probably want to rent a car. There are probably taxis, but I didn't see any.
