“overpriced!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2007
8
people found this review helpful

We have been here for one week in February. The Hotel from their website seemed lovely; it’s a 2-star hotel, more pricey than usually in Martinique (84 euro for a standard studio). They qualify themselves as a "hotel de charme", well you can definitely say this for the restaurant and the reception, but not for the rooms. Our room was terrible, with basic and very old furniture. The big terrace had a camping kitchen and a rusted fridge, there was a double bed plus a bunk bed with "randomly" picked furniture, giving us the feeling of being in a (expensive) hostel; we can say that at least 5 of the 14 rooms of La Caravelle are like the ones we were in. There are more renovated rooms also, offered at the same price, and we found this unacceptable, given the very low standards of our studio. Absolutely overpriced. Not too far from there, you can find a 3 stars hotel with a pool for the same price.

“a great place for your trip to French Caribbean paradise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2005

people found this review helpful

It was my first trip to the French Caribbean (and make no mistake, Martinique is FRENCH!), and I came across this great little place. The owners are so kind, speak great English, and are wonderful cooks in the kitchen! They retired to Martinique from France. The hotel is basic, but fine. I think they have installed air conditioning since my visit, althought the weather is so perfect you may not want, or need, it. The only problem you might have with the hotel is that it is a bit far from a town, but not far at all from a strip of tourist resorts; it sticks out on a little finger of the island, and is really in a lovely spot. Martinique itself is lovely, cosmopolitan, and without so many of the troubles (poverty, drugs) that plague much of the Caribbean (and so is Guadeloupe, another, even lovelier French island). Say what you will about the French, but their Caribbean possessions shine far above the British, ex-British, Dutch, American, and ex-Spanish possessions. Martinique and Guadeloupe are fantastic vacation spots.

“Great accommodations in Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2005

people found this review helpful

Everything about this hotel was wonderful. The family who runs it have been in the hospitality business all over the world. They speak English and are very friendly and helpful. The simply furnished room was clean and the private outdoor kitchen with the lovely view was perfect for breakfast. One word of caution, be careful to put away your food or the cute little black birds with rust colored throats will get it before you do.

The hotel's restaurant Mamy Nounou was amazing. Dinner wasn't cheap, but was worth every penny.

“Good accommodation in Martinique”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2004
6
people found this review helpful

La Caravelle - stayed for 4 days in July 04. Very pleasant family run hotel. Rooms basic but everything worked, great to have a small kitchen with fridge for breakfast etc.

Excellent restaurant offering the creole specialities of Martinique - they take a lot of care over the food. Prices in Euros means it's not cheap but well worth it. Look out for home made liquors - fruits steeped in rum - lethal.

Owners speak very good English.

La Caravelle area is very pleasant - good beaches, walks out to the point, great views, relaxing atmosphere.
