After 6 trips to Martinique, we had STILL not found a place to dance to "zouk nostalgic" but we found it in an open air restaurant at the foot of the Residence. A local told us about a dance which turned out to be a young all night event, but were fortunate to see a flyer about a Sunday afternoon soiree for a local club. It was a highlight of our trip to arrive to this venue with a live 10 piece orchestra and tables filled with locals, many in traditional garb, laughing/dancing/eating/drinking in a large, open air venue. You must go!

We stayed 5 days here. First time,definitely the last. Thea apartment was basic ,quiet and clean.
We had a long walk to Ste Anne,which was lovely, with cafes and shops A car is a must.
The surroundings are quite picturesque. There is a local bus that runs to Fort de France during
the week. We had to get there before 9am or else a very long wait in hot sun! The nearby beach was not very clean-bits of broken bottle in the sand! Near to Ste Anne a nicer beach,quite clean.
We were greeted by the maid (Margette)who spoke no English! I spoke to a manager on the phone who
did not introduce herself, but informed me that I had to clean and mop the apartment before leaving. The same maid returned to check everything over before we left. She told me (in an
angry french voice) that we used 2 extra towels. We were charged 8 euros for this. I was appalled,as one towel was used as a pillow case. It then took us 3 hours to get to airport and
was charged a wapping 150 euros!!! Traffic at a standstill due to an accident. Luckily, our flight was delayed so that saved us!
Martinique is a lovely island. The locals are friendly and helpful, but I was not impressed with the rude and unhelpful treatment at the complex.

We booked 2 studio apartments- they were both very basic but one was slightly more equipped than the other. The small kitchens are off of the outside balconies- a little odd ! The a/c was very noisy. We requested sea view...we could see it if we stood on a chair !! we were at the back of the complex ! . There is Wifi but you can only pick it up if you stand at the bottom of the stairs. The complex is slightly run down, there is a large swimming pool and 2 restaurants. The beach is a odd affair not one that you would want to spend time on, there is a kids club and plenty of rocks with over hanging trees. Its a long walk into town so you would need a car. The Manager was very helpful and pleasant. Its cheap but not that cheap to warrant staying again ! It was full of French families on holiday at the time we stayed. I think there is better to be had for the location and price.
