“A hotel of enormous charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

At first sight there isn't anything too special about this hotel, except that it had a lovely view over the bay. However, from almost the first moment, the charm and friendliness of the staff captivates one, so that staying there becomes a delight. Julie (who speaks excellent English) and Pascal (who speaks not a word!) do everything in their power to make the stay enjoyable, and John Paul, an excellent chef, loves to discuss his meals. This 'sympathique' behaviour affects all who stay, and there is a smile on the faces of all the guest and and staff. So -- although the bedrooms are adequate and clean but nothing to write home about -- choose this hotel if you want a really relaxing and friendly holiday, and you will not forget it as a wonderful experience.

Room Tip: I think all rooms are of similar value -- just ask for a view of the sea and the Diamond Island

“A delightful little hotel.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

A big problem with this hotel is finding it. You have to keep your eyes peeled for the direction signs, as it is down some very small side roads. Our room was clean and comfortable, but the shower was rather temperamental. Beautiful ocean view from our deck. The continental breakfast was good.

“Great place & great people”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

What else do you need from an holiday? Great places and great people ! Does it always happen? Not always, unfortunately. It's like in life actually. You never know who you meet on your path. Well, Pascal and July the Hotel owners are exceptional: young, dynamic, gentle and professional. And the place, wonderful, in front of the caribean sea at just 200 m from a wonderful bay with still water all days of the week (and in Martinique finding still water is not that easy. Nothing more to say. Or better, a last but not least thing to say: Jean Paul, the chef is superb ! And the restaurant, quite and relaxing. We really had a great time there. Ciao!! Raffaele & Diletta

Room Tip: They are all good beacuse with sea view!

“Perfect location to relax!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2011

We stayed in a studio with 'outdoor kitchen' with a superb view. We rented a car and we think that is a necessity to have a pleasant stay. The hotel location is quite remote from restaurants and supermarkets, so a car makes your stay much easier. The beach is public but in walking distance (5 minutes) and really quiet. The only suggestions we have (besides renting a car) is to bring your own towels, as housekeeping is every three days and you get only 4 towels as a couple. So bring your own beach towel (we bought it in the supermarket) and maybe some other towels for private use. During our stay we were attacked by mosquitos and some really tiny black flies, that made really itchy lumps. So we bought a mosquito net as well. But in general, we had a perfect holiday!

“SUPERB”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2010

SUPERB - stayed 9 nights. Room very clean, nice view of sea and Diamant. We give it a 5 out of 5. This hotel is somewhat isolated and difficult to find but it's worth it. Quiet and secluded and a great staff. Somewhat limited in accessories which is typical of French hotels. Bring your own shampoo and wash clothes, etc. 240 voltage electricity. A very friendly orange cat which we tried to kidnap. Cricketts are noisy but enjoyable. If you like resort type atmosphere this isn't for you. It's not all inclusive but a real gem.

If you need directions to the hotel they are somewhat difficult and not even easy to follow on Google maps. From Fort de France (FDF) airport take the N5 south passed Lamentin, continue south toward Ducos, continuing south toward Three Rivers, and headed toward St. Luce. As you are about 6 km west of St. Luce you will see a large Windmill on the right side of the highway (known as the trunk road) named Three (Trois)Rivers Distillery. Continue about 1km on N5 until the turn circle and take an immediate right for about 2 blocks to a stop sign. Turn left and immediately back to the right. Follow the signs (difficult to see) until you reach the hotel.

And, by the way, St. Luce is a very enjoyable French setting with a few superb restaurants. Enjoy
