Ξενοδοχεία με Ilet Thiery, Le Francois

This holiday resort has something for everyone, singles, couples and families. The resort comprises of a number of blocks of apartments named after the caribbean islands. Each apartment is air conditioned, has a bathroom (with shower) bedroom, with work desk, and terrace with kitchenette. It is very very clean. The apartment blocks beside the reception and pool can be noisy as there are so many activities going on in or around the pool area. The ones with the best sea views and are quiet are Trinidad and Grenades. I was in Desirade and had garden partial and sea views, it was perfect. The higher up you go the better the view. I was on the 2nd floor. No elevators. The resort has beautiful beaches on either side, so if the pool is too busy you can go there. You can hire a beach chair for 15E a week or 5e a day. There are loads of activities every day, aqua aerobics, archery, volleyball, table tennis and cardio classes. You can also walk or run the beach & forest trail along the coast. There is a water sports activity centre on site (jet skis, paddle boards etc) and a dive centre and a playground & kids clubs. There is a small shop on site where you can buy the basic’s and some clothes and souvenirs. Carrefour Express is a short walk, approx 10 minutes along the beach if you want to get supplies. St Luce is 5/10 minutes in the other direction, again a lovely coastal walk. The area is very local and quiet. St Luce is a small fishing village with some restaurants. If you wish to move and explore a little you need a car. There is a car hire desk at reception or you can hire scooters. A little more expensive than hiring elsewhere but not prohibitively so. There is a bar and three restaurants on site. One does themed buffet nights, another is privately owned and is a sit down service restaurant away from the main area and the thrived is a take-away pizza place. You can cook in your room, with hob & microwave, no oven or BBQ. Spa on site, reserve at pool area. Staff are extremely nice and patient with me a poor french speaker. Most will speak English if you ask. Once I got away from the pool which was too busy for me with families & activities and found the beaches, walks, hammocks in the garden I was very happy! Couldn’t recommend it enough.

I arrived in the hotel due to the medical disembarkation of my father to hospital. The hotel reception staff were very friendly and helped me get into my room quickly. I cannot say how helpful the staff have been. Due to not knowing how long I would be staying, they allowed me to book for 3 or 4 days at a time and renewing the booking when needed. One occasion they were extremely apologetic as the following night there was no room for me, but they found me a room, and the following day asked me if I wanted my old room back. Such is the care the staff have for their guests. Food in the hotel is of an exceptional standard and it appears there is a 2 week cycle on the menu. I thought the food a little expensive initially, but if you want quality food with great service, you have to pay a little more. That's what I got, great food and excellent friendly service. The circumstances of me being here are not the best, but the hotel has helped and supported me all the way through, and I cannot thank them enough. They made my stay as best as it could possibly be, and if I come back to Martinique, I would stay here again

This is probably the worst “hotel” I’ve ever stayed at. This is more of a hostel. First off there were blood stains on all the sheets and pillows. The hotel only cleaned the towels twice during our week and a half stay, there is no peep hole which is honestly just a safety precaution, the toilet in our room was leaking brown liquid, there is no screen on the showers so the water goes everywhere, the hallways smell like ****, the doors barely lock. In addition, one of my friends was knocking on her door room and a man came out of his room and started harassing her for being to loud, and almost got physical with her before yelling at her and then leaving. Then when she went downstairs the front desk told her a client made a noise complaint and when she told him it was just her knocking and this guy was about to lay her hands on her the front desk said “well it’s your fault because you were being too loud. There is water damage on the doors, bugs everywhere, and more. This place is horrible, the breakfast is bad and the employees are incredibly rude.

The hotel as a whole is OK, but the language is not available, no one can speak English, order a meal for a long time, the result is still unexpected, a lot of difficult situations
