The property grounds were nice. The pool was also small but clean and inviting (it was cold for me but refreshing). However, check in was complicated because we couldn't bring our heavy luggage down all the winding stairs and paths. We ended up leaving the luggage in the car and that was very uncomfortable and all our belongings were all over the car after fishing out the items for the night-no safe in the room. The bed was the worst of the 3 hotels we stayed at in Martinique. The room was sufficient but not very much water pressure. I requested a sea view for a celebration and it was there but obstructed. We checked out after 1 night. There was one restaurant in Tartane that was welcoming and the others just weren't because they were all booked. So food is hard to find. The sea is really nice and the hiking awesome. This hotel is probably rated high for back packers. There was a nice younger man at the desk who tried to help with translating to English as our French is limited (I tried to study it but lost it in stressful situations). There is a property cat who is really sweet.

We stayed here for 3 nights to experience a different part of Martinique (we've come to this island every year since our first trip in 2008). We were lucky to be put into a room off the lobby with a SPECTACULAR view. The unit was small but updated and very clean. The view was fabulous, though lower units would simply see trees. Though the nearby beaches aren't suited to non-swimmers and the town is nothing grand, the hotel was quite nice and exceeded our expectations.
