A little bit of an older hotel but it’s obvious they’ve worked hard to keep it unkept and clean, with some nice amenities including a pool, bar, restaurant and entertainment. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The beds were comfy and there were places to eat nearby with more within a 15-20 minute walk.

The hotel staff are nice and the rooftop pool and hot tub are a great bonus. The restaurant has an impressive view but the menu is quite extravagant and extremely limited. Room service only offers the few dishes that are on the main restaurant menu. We felt quite isolated as there are no restaurants, bars etc in walking distance. You really do need to hire a car - but driving there as a tourist is quite scary! Taxis are slow to come and quite expensive. The rooms are very basic but the AC was cold and the wifi worked well (on the lower floors only).

The staff was wonderful from the front desk to housekeeping to the restaurant (enjoyed the food for breakfast and dinner). Free parking was great. Car recommended to get around, be prepared for roundabouts. Street food restaurant across the street was a plus. The hotel has basic 3 star comparable Caribbean rooms with limited internet (downstairs at least) but would stay again depending on the type of trip.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my recent stay at Karibea Valmeniere Hotel has been, without question, the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had.

First, the Wi-Fi has apparently been down for weeks with no clear plan to fix it—completely unacceptable, especially for a hotel charging these rates. My wife and I, along with several other guests, were left waiting over 6 hours just to get into our room. There was no communication, no urgency, and absolutely no effort to accommodate us during that time.

The customer service only made things worse. The staff was consistently rude and unhelpful. At one point, after hours of waiting, I asked for something as simple as a cup of coffee and was told I would have to pay for it. Not even a complimentary glass of water was offered while we waited.

To top it off, all on-site restaurants were closed until 7 PM, leaving us with no food options during a long and exhausting wait.

For $250 a night, this experience is beyond disappointing—it’s unacceptable. Travelers, beware: this hotel is not worth your time or money.

I will never return, and in my opinion, it doesn’t even deserve a single star.

To be clear, I base this on the north american standards I am used to. The front desk staff was not very welcoming or friendly, however check in was fairly quick. The code for the internet was posted on a sign at the front desk and when i asked about it, he said to take a picture. The internet only worked in the lobby or the bar...not in the rooms. We went to order a pizza and were told we cant place a call from our room. They did dial the number from the front desk for us. The pool and outside bar area were lovely!! Nice to sit up there and have a drink in the warm air. There is a $46 charge on my credit card (on top of the room charge) that might be some sort of tourist tax??? I have no clue as it was not explained. The room was clean and functional and we were only there one night so it suited our needs. It is dated and felt cramped, but we did have a small table and chairs that we appreciated. I felt the price we paid was too high for what we got, but again, used to hotels in Canada and the US.

Hotel room was basic, furniture old but the bed was okay. The pillows were the lumpiest I’ve ever encountered. You were provided with 2 bath towels and no hand towels or facecloths, no pool towels were available when we were there but the front desk staff did provide us with 2 regular towels instead.
Pool was nice but limited bar stool type seating around it.

Also, issisted that I would have time to have breakfast. The only thing I would say is that there was a bit of mildew in the bathroom ceiling which need to be fix and no wash rags. I didn't bother to ask for one, since I was leaving next day. A beautiful hotel; the dinner I ordered was delicious. Will definitely go in the future.

I liked the amenities, convenient location and transport options. The view was great and most of the staff were courteous and helpful. But there are always some black sheep. They were not accommodating initially when an error in booking was made (receptionist and manager) meaning I was forced to pay (no exception) and upon arrival, certain receptionists were clueless when asked for advice about tours. Oh, I was also put in a room directly below the kitchen (possibly on purpose by the same receptionist) so noise at night and in the early morning (5am) was disturbing to say the least. The air-conditioning also didn't work properly and would increase the room temperature sometime around midnight leading to excessive sweating. The bed would become drenched leading to us waking frequently. But I didn't let that ruin my vacation.

The full breakfast was excellent in the hotel restaurant. We did not care for the dinner however. The room was clean. Nothing fancy, but had the usual amenities plus hair dryer, iron and ironing board, safe and (non alcohol) mini bar snacks in the frigde for purchase. The parking lot was gated and had a security guard on duty. The roof top pool and hot tub have a great view of the city. The property is about 12 minutes to the Fort de France Airport.

convenient for airport

We chose this hotel for the short distance to the airport as we had an early flight.
This is a modern business hotel just off the main road about 10 mins to the airport by car. Although you can see the hotel from the main road It is a bit difficult to find after exiting. Make sure you have a good GPS and follow the small signs. Also there was road works so one has to make a 5 min detour to get on to the south entrance of the highway.

We found the hotel to be quite expensive for Martinique especially since it didn’t include breakfast. Not great value but convenient for supermarkets and airport. There are not too many options close to the airport. On the plus side there is free WiFi, nice comfortable bed, parking, rooftop pool/jacuzzi with a great view. Jacuzzi was tepid though. The restaurant was very good and busy.

Note to hotel - We had to wait to check in though as there was only one receptionist when we arrived at 5pm and there was a long line of people checking in at this time. As this is normally peak time it would be good to have at least 2 staff members at the desk.
