My wife and I chose the Valmaniere because of location (near the airport, away from deeply depressing downtown) and value. We had a standard room: small, with a good bath and excellent air-conditioning, for which we paid ca. Euros 200. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. The food is standard; restaurant view is spectacular, as is the view from the 9th floor which has two terraces, a small garden, and a jacuzzi. This is not luxury; it is comfort. No reservations in recommending the hotel for a short stay.

Having flown from Paris to Martinique and needing one night stopover my wife and I choose this hotel as it is close to the airport in Fort de France (20€ taxi ride). Bearing in mind that the island was badly hit by hurricane Dean one week previously we wondered what we would find.

The hotel was undamaged (but the gardens were destroyed). It was clean if a little shabby (picture hooks but no pictures; cushions missing from furniture; curtains unhooked and dishevelled). Some road noise as the hotel sits high above one of the main roads into town but this did not disturb our jet-lagged sleep. However, the air conditioning was excellent, the room large and the bathroom a good size.

We did not dine in the hotel but the breakfast was extensive and good. The eating facilities are on the 8th. floor beside a small "infinity swimming pool" which provides a superb veiw of the ocean and port.

The staff were helpful if somewhat indifferent in attitude.

this hotel is good for a business trip...good location near economic area. wifi, AC, TV and other amenities were ok,
but it's noisy (just beside the highway), you have to keep windows closed, and you have not balcony in the rooms.
the service and the restaurant were OK, but not enough local food.

My customer suggested this "business hotel" and yes it is very good for a business traveler if you are willing to sleep without A/C (the air was blowing air - not cold - and extremely humid). Hotel says they have WiFi in the rooms, was down for 4 days, when it came back the signal was so low it was impossible to connect. I killed two roaches in the room, mind you I was staying in room 720, I can imagine the entire property was infested... The front desk people were extremely nice about the situation and said the constantly tell the Management but they do not react.
