Hotel Amazonia

I was staying at another place, but it did not have a full time reception desk, and so that made it tough, as FG is a place where you need as much assistance as you can get, especially if you are an English speaking tourist with close to no French speaking abilities. Even the main tourist office does not have English speaking staff. But walking around I came across this clean, stylish and centrally located hotel that was a god send as they have front desk staff who can speak English. Unfortunately the hotel seems to cater to a business crowd and so their tourist related assistance was limited, but they did help as best they could, including helping me to get share taxi back to the Suriname border :) As for the hotel, all the common amenities are excellent, including a nice pool to dip into, which is appreciated when the temp is 95 F. And the breakfast buffet has everything you could ask for and it opens up early, at 6 AM. Only negative is that the room was tiny, at least the one that I was in, and so the king size bed basically took up the whole room. But then as a tourist you are not there to hang out in your hotel room.
