Our verdict

Guadeloupe, French overseas department in the Lesser Antilles: 660 sq miles, 380,000 inhabitants, butterfly-shaped archipelago (mountainous Basse-Terre to the west + flatter Grande-Terre to the east). January is my favorite month (8.3/10): 73-82°F, 50% rain, sea at 81°F, this is the carême (dry season).
