Time in Guadeloupe is a somewhat elastic concept. You will find that appointments are always made, for example, for "côté 8 heures" (around 8 o'clock). (Our classes, however, begin at 8 o'clock sharp.)
-
Shop opening hours during the week are 8 am to 1 pm and 3:30 pm to 8 pm. Food shops are open Sundays as well from 8 am to 1 pm.
-
The post office is closed on Wednesdays but otherwise open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 12 pm and 2 pm to 4 pm (Saturdays from 8 am to 12 pm only).
-
Banks are open from Tuesday to Friday from 8 am to 12:30 pm and 2 pm to 5 pm. Saturday 8 am to 12:30 pm only, closed Mondays.
Do not be surprised if a shop is closed during its posted opening hours: simply come back later or another day.
