Club Med Les Boucaniers - Martinique

The Club is well situated. The beach is clean and swimming is pleasant. No danger of jellyfish. BUT the biggest issue is mosquitos and “yenyens”, a type of sand flee. I was bitten head to toe despite recommended precautionary measures. |Staff are super friendly and made my stay very pleasant. Mille Merci Lucie, Melanie, Margaux, Amel, Arthur, Owen, Guillaume. |The club has two restaurants. One is only by reservation for dinner. The other one is buffet style. I loved the avocado smoked salmon toast for breakfast at the L’Ô, the beach restaurant. Merci Karine in the kitchen who shared her recipe so graciously. |Overall I had a fun vacation but unfortunately I cannot say I will be back any time soon because of my unpleasant experience with all the bug bites.

It's Kim Possible again, after another wonderful vacation with the sailing team at Club Med Les Boucaniers. Every year my wind surfing skills progress thanks to the careful attention of the team. This year my private instructor (yes, I wanted private lessons in addition to the included lessons) was Paul, and he really got me to the next level. Thanks Paul! The team leader was Matthieu, and he was personable and kept all the activities running smoothly - balancing English and French speakers, and tricky equipment issues. A shout-out too, to the life guards who cycled through the sailing shack. I loved their aqua gym classes - held alternatively in the pool and at the beach. The location is breathtaking and the winds are just right for both beginners and advanced surfers and kiters!

Amazing stay at Club Med Les Boucaniers. The Club Med spirit is still very much alive. Loads of great sports and activities. I loved discovering padel with King Juju. Big thanks to the diving team, especially Matteo, and to Lucas and Lucie for the great moments shared. And a special mention to Marion for her excellent wine advice. Such a fun and memorable experience!

We just spent a week at this resort with my wife and my two daughters. It was just incredible. ||First the site is absolutely breathtaking. White sand, green water, perfect temperature ! The Club Med has been fully renovated so the facilities were of very high standards. Confortable beds, modern bathrooms and spacious rooms. ||||The village was run by in interim Chef de Village Valentin who was totally up to the job. Friendly, funny and efficient. He was helped by the greatest Chef des Sports I have met in my many years at Club Med. Tom, only 25, runs the sport team with great professionalism. He makes you feel like you are the only guest while managing his team carefully. ||||And what a team! I spent a great deal of time with the ski team headed by Remi. He brings excitement to the pontoon and always has something fun for the guest!. His team is equally fun. I enjoyed Antho, Charles, Enzo, David, Ianis and Lou. They were a blast to be with. They spent time with us outside of their regular ski day and made this stay very special. ||||I also spent many hours on the brand new padel courts with Julien and his daily tournament! This was fantastic to be able to play almost everyday. I love padel and I am very impressed by the investment made by Club Med around this activity.||||Since I am one to try every sports, I also enjoyed windsurfing with Paul, snorkeling with Pierre and Arthur and beach volleyball with Jenn. You can never get bored!||||At night we enjoyed various shows super entertaining. The new show Amara was very impressive with a great investment from the in house choreographer and the GO team. We also love the Decade show. We danced and sang all night. And the first night was special with a perfect karaoke ran by the MC Alex. A great occasion for my daughter Maya to show her singing talent. And for every member of the family to sing together. ||||Finally what made this trip truly fabulous was the meals!!! The food and drinks were amazing. My favorites were the Tuna carpaccio, the Ribeye steak and all the pastries. Best pastry team ever at Club Med. Congratulations to Ruddy and his team (with a special thanks to Jonathan and his fabulous meats). And congratulations to Sandra and the bar team, Guillaume and Marion at the specialty restaurant le Lo.||||Thank you to all the other members of the team from the nice cleaning crew, the lady giving us fresh towels all day, the staff welcoming us and serving us at every meal with a smile and Denise the photographer with her great eye. ||||That's it!! Truly a week in paradise.

Everything was great except the reception. Sadly, that’s classic Club Med: not simple incompetence, but a kind of Olympic-level commitment to making you miserable. We asked for a ground-floor room in the Creole village, close to the port, because one of us can’t climb stairs. Naturally, we were given the farthest room from the port—practically in another time zone—and on the second floor, just to ensure we’d need a sherpa to reach it.||||It’s almost entertaining to watch the reception in action: equal-opportunity bungling delivered with gusto. Managers never appear, presumably too busy tormenting someone else, so you communicate through a chain of confused intermediaries in a game of telephone gone feral.

First time at Club Med les Boucaniers and definitely not the last time! The resort is perfectly located, from sunrise to sunset, the activities and landscapes are breath-taking, such a warm welcome from all the GO, GE and fellow GM!|Big thank you to the Wake team for their help on the water and their sunset apero!|Lou, Antho, David, Remi, Charles, Enzo, Ianis, Pierre, Sandra and Marion!

Here is what we liked of Club Med Les Boucaniers: * Great activities for teens and adults, notably nautical ski and windsurfing; * Amazing food; * Dynamic GOs (and not annoying); * Beautiful site / beach; * Clean; * Nice renovated rooms; * Smiling and happy employees; * Clean and nice pool; * Bracelet opens door and safe; * Birthday cake for daughter; * Distribution of fruits, drinks, popsicles at beach by GOs; * Beautiful flowers and gardens; * Great shower products including conditioner. Here is what needs improvement: * Long to get suitcases * Coconut fell on my head at beach, loungers under coconut trees is a bad idea; * Lack of palapas on beach; * Staff forgot to clean our room 1 day; * Room A/C broke during supper but fixed next day; * Lunch menu not accurate in app; * Food at buffet not always labeled; * Lack of bathrooms on site; * L’O restaurant not at level of other restaurants; * Camera in bus makes people seasick; * Slow to fill water bottles at meals.

A very special place. Beautiful location with a large sheltered outdoor dining facility, wonderful food choices, natural animals abound, and friendly staff. French is the dominant spoken language by locals and staff, but English is spoken by many. Spectacular pool and beaches, and tons of water sport options.
