One of Martinique's best-known beachfront hotels, sitting right on the Pointe du Bout marina where the ferry crosses to Fort-de-France in twenty minutes. It pairs a proper little sandy beach and a seafront pool with a walkable strip of restaurants, so you get the ease of a resort with a real village feel just outside the gate. It is a comfortable three-star rather than a lavish resort, which is part of its easy, unfussy charm.
Our verdict
A well-placed, easygoing beachfront base for families who want to explore by ferry and on foot rather than stay put in a resort. Great for a first trip that mixes beach and island days.
The rooms
A classic Creole beachfront hotel at Pointe du Bout, with comfortable rooms in colourful low buildings and gardens running down to a small sandy cove. Family and connecting options exist, and the flat seaside setting keeps things easy with a pram.

Parents also ask
Is it really on the beach?
Yes, the hotel sits right on a small sandy cove at Pointe du Bout, with the larger calm beach of Anse Mitan a short walk away.
Can we manage without a car?
For a beach-and-ferry trip, yes. Restaurants are walkable and the ferry reaches Fort-de-France, though a car helps for exploring the wider island.
Is there a kids club?
No, there is no regular kids club here. The appeal is the beachfront location and easy days out rather than an organised children's programme.
