This was our third time staying at the Anse Caritan in Sainte-Anne, Martinique. It was a complete disappointment. In the past, the accommodations, the food, and the staff were exceptional. All that has changed. From the time we checked in until we left, the staff was indifferent, almost to the point of arrogance. Breakfasts, which are included in the room rate, were much lower in quality than in the past, and frequently food would run out, with little explanation or no apology. The house keeping staff did not change linens or towels on any regular basis, then lied when they told us they were not permitted to change the bed sheets. (The pillows are about the size you find in airplane coach class.) Again, the front desk did little to rectify any difficulties. With a hotel with such problems and the high rates they charge for rooms, I would recommend that you look elsewhere to stay in this part of Martinique.

We have decided next visit to rent an apartment in town. There are good markets and food stores and there is easy proximity to the beaches and in particular, Salines, one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen.

The restaurants we ate at were all good, but two were exceptional. One was Le Touloulou, and the other, just a few steps away was La Case Philippe.
