Fodor's Review:

Impressive wrought-iron gates open to what is, undoubtedly, one of Martinique's best resorts. French guests call it a "human hotel," where you can cocoon. Formerly an estate, the original structure has that East India Company look, with cane-and-teak plantation-style furnishings and terra-cotta tiles. From the circular bar and the adjacent pool, the views of the yachts in the bay are magical. Walk down the pier to the thatched-roof rotunda that shades the Coco Bar. Suites, like the Amanda, are a throwback to gracious estate living. Down pillows and European linens, as well as comfy window seats, give the petite, beach-level rooms a sumptuous feel. The staff, once a bit aloof, is usually efficient and friendly. Nightly entertainment makes this one of the island's social centers. Pros: no more birds at breakfast stealing bites; renovations begin in 2010 but the hotel is looking good now. Cons: constructed in stages, so some rooms show age while others are fresh; facades are not all pretty; service can be inconsistent.

Adter a first disappointing stay several years ago, we tried again and this was a happy surprise. Rooms, although still small, have been refurbished and service has greatly improved. Good food and an impressive wine/rum list! The beach is not that big, but carefully maintained.
