This was a family vacation(my husband, our 3yr old daughter, and me). We've been to many high end hotels in the Caribbean but this one happen to be one of our favorite with some exceptions. The room was very nice, the beach was not that great, the food was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. The beach had a... more

To end our stay in Martinique we decided to go for a splurge at the Cap Est Resort located south-east of Martinique. This is a high-end resort, the first one actually in Martinique. Suites are minimum 55 sqm in size up to 130 sqm. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a De Luxe Suite (60 sqm) with a... more

This is a wonderful luxury resort, easily the best in Martinique. The service was unbeliveable, the grounds were beautiful and the rooms were spacious and well appointed. It is bit of a drive from the resort to other destinations around the island, but that is the way Martinique is generally. Highly recommended! more

Cap Est Lagoon Resort & Spa really was a thoroughly elegant hotel, and I could hardly fault it! It’s just such a beautiful place to have spent a holiday, it hardly felt like a hotel. I have been to plenty of other hotels which are highly acclaimed through the Caribbean, such as Jumby Bay and Cap Juluca but for really... more

This is a great place to stay. Expensive but fantastic. We stayed in an executive suite, but this was not necessary. A garden view room is also very good and the resort is small so you can enjoy oceanview in almost every room. We felt like a prince and a prinsess. Cap Est is at the east side of the... more

What a jewel in the Caribbean! This resort is magnificent. The entire team at the resort is very accommodating, friendly and extremely helpful without being invasive. Yes, there is a language barrier, but we did not encounter one rude person in 7 days! The team is ALWAYS smiling and sooo nice! The rooms are superb. We travel extensively, throughout the... more

We were so impressed with Cap Est. Best things: - fantastic welcome - very friendly staff - the rooms are OUTSTANDING. Very modern (some suites have a really impressive rotating large screen plasma TV which you can watch from the bed, lounge, or plunge pool) - lovely Molton Brown toiletries & a gorgeous outdoor shower, plus bath with garden views... more

I assume that Cap Est Lagoon Resort is the only "4-star luxe" Relais et Cahteaux hotel in Martinique. Considering the basic inability of the local people to raise their service level to the standard of the rest of the "luxury world", it's already a great achievement. But the place reserves bad surprises : the beach is ridiculously small and rocky,... more

The suites are fantastic... if a little badly maintained. Definitely recommend getting one with a private plunge pool especially if, like us, you're not so keen on busy hotel pools. Also the tiny beach requires wading through stones, weed, mud and (we saw a snake) marine creatures to get to sandy, clear swimming areas! Absolutely the most overrated restaurant, and... more
