It was a holiday weekend and almost everything was closed. You need a car to get around and escape the nightmare of a room. It was dirty, stains on the walls and the bed was filthy and sunken in , in the middle. We wanted to checkout the same night we checked in but we were so tired and the wifi was horrible so we stuck it out. Eventually we checked out early and found a beautiful, clean hotel in the city. Honestly the best thing was the pool and the sunset. You need to make reservations at almost every restaurant, which no one informed us of initially, so we were refused tables because we didn't have reservations even though the restaurants were EMPTY. La Savane Beach was the most amazing part of the vacation. It is truly a no frills hotel, so go in expecting that. Oh and don't expect anyone to give you clean towels, so be prepared to possibly pay seven euros for special blue towels. I would go back to Martinique but I wouldn't stay here. I can normally see the best in every situation but I would never stay here again.

This place was ok, the room had everything you need (except dishwashing soap). The view was good from the balcony. If you don't speak French it can be difficult to communicate with staff.

Excellent setting. Great pool. Run down. Ants in room. Smelly. No internal door between bathroom and bedroom (had to walk into my balcony in front of the pool to switch rooms). There are better places. You can skip this one.

Very good value for the money. Great views, good room, nice located pool. Freindly not luxury but very good lever for is.

This was a great place to experience the Island! Here are the details that I would have loved to know: Taking a taxi from the airport to Diamant will cost you more than you think it should. The cost of our single taxi ride was the same as two days of the rental car we eventually got. (Jumbo car has a desk in the lobby, BTW). It would have been very daunting to try to navigate our way to the hotel at night. The hotel is right at the Eastern most edge of Diamant Beach, the longest beach in Martinique, and the pool, restaurant and bar are all quite nice. Keep in mind, this is a GREAT place to stay in Martinique primarily because of the great views of Diamant bay and Diamant Rock you get from the balcony, the beach, and the pool. But, it is a bit older and not as fancy as many Carribean resorts geared to bring in Americans. It seamed like 99% of the other guests were French. The Hotel's restaurant, "Bord-O", is quite good, if a little overpriced. Actually I think it was the best restaurant we experienced in Martinique. Driving in Martinique was awesome. I loved it. Very tight, winding roads through little towns along the coast, beautiful views the whole way. Yes, it was a bit scary at times dodging crazy local taxi drivers, delivery trucks and the like racing around tight blind corners and round-abouts, but well worth it. I'd recommend doing a few day trips, and spend a day at Les Salines Beach (Best white sand in Martinique, hands down--take a picnic lunch!) and see some of the other towns such as Le Marin, and St. Luce, or up the coast to St Pierre. Try to time your driving to avoid rush-hour in Fort-de-France, which is kind of a nightmare. It can take forever to get through that crazy little city. But Diamant Beach is pretty well suited as a both a destination and as a jumping off point for day trips.
