Cap Est Lagoon Resort & Spa

$$$$, Le François

User Rating: **** 4.4

Fodor's Review:

A member of the Relais and Châteaux group, Martinique's most exclusive resort has brought back the wealthy, international set. No wonder, as this beautiful property has been busy stockpiling awards from major magazines. The staff strives to make sure that guests leave satisfied. Contemporary villas (some bi-level) have a Franco-Caribbean design, with Southeast Asian influences; most have a view of the crystalline lagoon. The less expensive garden rooms have water views from their second-floor bedrooms, but not from the ground floor, nor do they have private plunge pools. All suites have CD-DVD players and plasma TVs. Discriminating guests (as well as nonguests) can indulge themselves at the elegant Spa by Guerlain; from the soft music to the minimalist decor, it's a soothing place to enjoy professional treatments. Sports activities include kayaking, kite surfing, yoga, and hopping aboard a motor yacht and exploring the neighboring islands.

The best in Martinique.

Posted by Joelle from Paris on 1/24/07

The resort is in a remote location, hidden among banana fields. Very large suites, professional and smiling staff (but service is not always faultless), excellent food, wines and bar. Nice pool but disappointing beach area. It is clearly a high-end resort, but some items like the sightseeing offer are really overpriced.

No" French Attitude" here!

Posted by Robin from Florida, USA on 1/23/06

We spent 6 nights at this lovely resort and had the best room in the house! 3 views of the Atlantic! The bed was very comfortable and the linens soft The suite had every amenity we could have asked for, including a single serve espresso/tea maker, which was wonderful! Fully stocked mini-bar and snack refrig.Staff all very friendly, contrary to what your review said. The managers at each resturant came by to ask our imput and reviews. Although we didn't speak French, the staff tried to help us throughout our stay. Very relaxing vacation.
