Bel Jou Hotel – Room Style

Rooms at Bel Jou Hotel are straightforward, air-conditioned, and spread across categories that focus on garden, partial ocean, ocean, and superior ocean views. The overall feel is more intimate than grand, with the hillside setting doing much of the work.

• 76 air-conditioned guest rooms across several view categories
• Options include Garden Bungalows, Garden View, Ocean View, Partial Ocean View, and Superior Ocean View rooms
• Best for adults who want a quiet, comfortable base rather than a sprawling suite-focused resort

Bel Jou is the better pick if you want a smaller adults-only hotel where the room is part of a relaxed retreat, not the main showpiece of the vacation.

• Two outdoor swimming pools on the property
• Main pool with a self-serve poolside bar; second pool for a quieter setting
• Complimentary shuttle access to Vigie Beach, roughly a short drive away
