Close to Fort de France, with its own culinary treats, but we ended up eating every meal at Bateliere, a former Hilton property with a distinctive mix of retro 60s architecture and typical 4-star amenities like an inhouse beauty salon. Many areas of the hotel need a large infusion of renovation, but the updated deluxe rooms are large, the lobby... More

On New Year's Eve (31 Dec 2010), my wife, daughter and I checked into Hotel La Bateliere after our daughter's emergency appendectomy at Clinique St. Paul in Martinique. The hospital had contacted the hotel to arrange for a room for the three of us because we were not allowed to travel for a week. The hotel was completely booked with... More

Our departing flight from Martinique was canceled, so the airline put us up in this hotel about 1/2 hour from the airport. It was on the water, and was rated at 4 stars according to the sign out front, so I was hopeful. Sadly, I was disappointed. While it was barely adequate, this hotel had some real problems. Our biggest... More

I mean, the hotel is decent, the staff are helpful and the view of the sea are fantastic. The hotel needs a serious upgrade, some paint and perhaps this will happen with the proposed purchase by the Radisson chain (at least as the huge banners in the lobby would have us to believe). The good points: convenient to the University,... More

I really like this hotel. Yes it is old and needs some refurbishment but the rooms are clean, the atmosphere is charming and the restaurant is very good. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel gift shop sells unique handicrafts and jewellery. The pool is lovely and the breakfast excellent. I have always enjoyed staying here - there is... More

The hotel was fine for a 3 * hotel but for the price I expected a better quality of room and conditions perhaps breakfast to be included!!! The beach mentioned in the description is very small and there was building work going on so it wasnt very relaxing. Noone was able to speak English to us so we struggled with... More

We had a really good experience at Hotel Bateliere. Upon walking in, you are met with an open-air lobby with views of the pool & ocean. The concierge was very courteous and professional, and his English was quite good. While waiting to be checked in, we were offered some cold juice to drink. Quite nice! I had dinner at their... More

Terrible choice for leisure travel - the hotel could be rated 2+ or max 3 stars. Building is a horrible 30-40 years old cement block, rooms haven't seen any renovation since then. Hotel pictures are really far from reality, even the little beach is not so nice as looks in the photos and is usually crowded. Staff is generally not... More

The hotel is located about 25 minutes from the airport on the western side of the island overlooking the ocean. It has a very small beach (man made) but has a lovely pool, gym and open air restaurant. First the restaurant; most of the menu selections were good but choices were limited. After three days we had to go out... More
