French Coco

We stayed only one night at Hotel French Coco, but it was our best night on the island. When we arrived we immediately got a beautiful drink and a warm welcome. The place has a sense of peace created by the lush garden, wooden structures and friendly staff. We loved our suite with a lovely shower facing a small private garden and a nice terrace with a view over the garden. We had dinner at the hotel and the food and wine was amazing.

Beautiful stay in Tartane village in the north of Martinique - one hour and some from Fort de France with superlative service food and accommodations. Very nice flowery grounds shared with birds … Short walk to a very nice beach and some restaurants. Indeed a great find … truly a place to return to !

Positives, Lovely boutique hotel with excellent staff, especially Stephanie. Breakfast was pre ordered the day before to save waste and it was freshly cooked and presented so beautifully. Rooms large with a balcony and separate garden with a plunge pool. Negatives Pool is in shade most of the day and water is cold, there are also no facilities for a drink around the pool as these are not available until the restaurant opens in the evening. Also they over booked and the evening before we left the UK, we were called to say they’d over booked and we had to stay elsewhere in the first night, something they had prearranged for us including an upgrade at the different hotel. Not that we could make use of the facilities as we were packing up to move to the French Coco.

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel French Coco for seven nights in February on the last leg of our Guadeloupe, Marie Galante and Martinique holiday. We arrived in the afternoon having flown from Guadeloupe. We received a warm welcome from the reception staff - check in was slick and we were offered chilled flannels and a choice of drinks. After a brief orientation tour of the facilities we were shown around our accommodation - we had opted for a Caraibe suite. We had a very well-appointed room. There was a king sized bed provided with the standard duvet and pillows. It was a very comfortable bed with a supportive mattress. There were dark out curtains which did a good job in excluding the light from the sliding doors which led on to the terrace. Outside there were two sun loungers around a small splash pool as well as a table with two chairs for relaxing al fresco. There was a rocking chair as well. We could make hot drinks using the appliances on the side board on the terrace. The miniature bottles of rum which greeted us were a very welcome treat and there was another gift of some hotel branded body lotion. In the bedroom there was a safe in the wardrobe. Oddly, it was situated on such a high shelf that we needed to borrow a footstool so that we could use it! Bizarre!! The air conditioning unit was sufficiently powerful to keep the room at a suitable temperature so that we could sleep comfortably at night. The bathroom was spacious with a large sink and separate shower with both a rainfall head and a hand held head. The multitude of towels were thick and absorbent reflecting once again the quality of the accommodation - they were changed frequently. There was plenty of hanging space for our clothes as well as drawers in the wardrobe. The suite was blissfully quiet - we heard no sound whatsoever from adjacent units. Breakfast was served in the restaurant. We were asked to pre-order our selection the previous evening. There were yoghurts, pastries and fresh fruit with a selection of cook-to-order options. We found it sufficiently varied to meet our needs. We also had a dinner on our first and final nights - an interesting menu. The food was very good, both in its execution and presentation. Naturally it was considerably more expensive than other restaurants we ate at on our trips to various parts of Martinique. The hotel has a very attractive pool just below the restaurant. It didn’t seem to get a lot of use whilst we stayed at the hotel. The grounds are a delight with so many native plants and a plethora of bird life. It seemed to be policy to allow the undergrowth to grow relatively freely - this was easy on the eye as the vegetation had a more natural rather than a manicured appearance. The paths are all boardwalks which are kept clear by the tireless housekeeping team. We found the staff at the hotel to be universally excellent in their roles - friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was impressively unobtrusive

2 semaines de rêve dans ce jardin tropical parcouru de passerelles en bois. Notre chambre (Caraïbes n° 32) était très confortable avec pour seul bruit le chant des oiseaux, sans oublier la mini-piscine parfaite pour se relaxer après chaque journée de visite de l'ile. Les plats de la carte du restaurant sont parfaitement réalisés, ainsi que les suggestions qui nous ont été proposées pour la compléter compte-tenu de la durée de notre séjour. Sans oublier les cocktails personnalisés par un maitre en la matière. Le petit déjeuner est aussi très complet (les petits pains chauds avec le beurre 1/2 sel, la salade de fruits personnalisées ...) et servi à table. Mais ce qui fait vraiment la différence, c'est le personnel toujours souriant, prévenant, qui a été aux petits soins pour nous à chaque instant, qu'il vienne de Toulouse, du Chili (elles se reconnaitront. On vous embrasse !) ou d'ailleurs, au petit déjeuner, le soir au dîner, à la réception ou même pour l'entretien de la piscine. On ne vous oubliera pas. Merci de tout coeur.

Un lieu incroyable, la décoration et l'équipement des chambres au top, un lieu ou il fait bon vivre, se reposer et profiter de la Martinique Une équipe attentionnée, souriante et à l'écoute, MERCI ET BRAVO à eux nous avons eu une très belle attention le jour de la saint Valentin 💌 Je le conseille à tout le monde !!!! En un mot exceptionnel
