This Gallic toehold in the Caribbean exudes a distinctly French air, enticingly spiced up by West Indian warmth. Local culture and cuisine combine both influences. The stylish isle is dominated by Mount Pelee, which destroyed the city of St. Pierre in 1902. Black sand beaches and rainforests are found in the north, with yet more beautiful sands to the south. Sights include La Pagerie, birthplace of Napoleon's Empress Josephine, and Diamond Rock, a 600-foot pinnacle, once registered as a British warship.

Arrived by cruise ship in February. Driver/tour guide was over half an hour late. Kept us waiting in the rain at the pier. Did not get off to a good start. Kept being told that he's coming by other staff of the same tour company. Tour was okay, only 5 of us in a mini van. Difficult to hear if you're seated at the back. With such a small group, no flexibility in the itinerary. It was on a Saturday and the whole town was closed. These small islands complained cruise ships not bring them any benefit but yet all shops were closed. It's difficult to spend money to help boost the economy if you do not open for business! The weather was terrible and was raining on and off all day, heavy at times. Both the tour company and the tour is not recommended and in fact, you may skip this island.

With so much time on my hands now , I thought is would be a good time to post a review on our Foodie Tour in Fort-de-France. We met up with our most wonderful and pleasant guide Meri. We experienced both the beauty and the taste of the town. Sights like the Schoelcher Library, the beautiful court yard whith the old Cathedral. But lets not forget the food! We tasted all kinds of cheese and candies, sauces and of course RUM at a quaint local store. Such nice people there, they kept offering more and more to taste. We visited a pasty shop and had several traditional pastries, sitting in a lovely little outside patio. From there we visited the Market, which we were able to taste a few items. We were so full. Meri took great care of us and she was very easy to talk to. She shared stories of her family and and it made us feel as though we were walking with a good friend. Our last stop of the day was a great RUM shop. We were able to taste three or four rums. So good! We even bought a bottle of our favorite to take with us. This was a laid back and very informative tour. If you ever are looking for a guide in Fort-de-France, don't hesitate to contact Meri. Thank You Meri for a wonderful experience, hope you and yours are all well. Debby & Rick Riffle

This is an excellent value in Martinique. The room was very comfortable with amazing views of the ocean and mountains. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always looking to go above and beyond. There is a beach and shops and restaurants all within walking distance (within 20 mins). We would love to stay here again when we return.
