Best eSIM for Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe is a French overseas department and EU outermost region, so EU Roam Like at Home applies here as in metropolitan France. If using a travel eSIM, verify the plan explicitly covers Guadeloupe — generic France plans often cover metropolitan France only.

How much will it cost for your trip?
Your French SIM works domestically in Guadeloupe. Other EU SIM holders benefit from RLAH (check FUP). La Soufrière volcano (1,467m) has coverage in Basse-Terre town but the summit trail has limited signal. Marie-Galante and Les Saintes have basic 4G coverage. La Désirade is more limited. Download offline maps before any multi-island trip or volcano hike.
Grande-Terre (Pointe-à-Pitre, Gosier, Sainte-Anne) has excellent 4G. Basse-Terre has good coverage in town and along the coast. The Guadeloupe National Park rainforest trails and upper La Soufrière have variable signal. Ferry crossings to Marie-Galante and Les Saintes have no coverage offshore.

Arrival protocol in Guadeloupe
VPN, passwords and documents
On hotel or café Wi-Fi, a VPN can be useful to keep your browsing private from the network operator. A password manager is also worth having for managing account access on the road. A secure cloud backup of your passport, visa and accommodation details can also be useful — keep an offline copy too. None of these are mandatory.
