French Coco Hotel

We are only on our second day at French Coco Hotel in Martinique, and I must say—it is truly an enchanting setting. Modest from the outside yet remarkably luxurious, natural, and comfortable on the inside, the hotel strikes a beautiful balance between simplicity and elegance.||The staff, including Laeticia and Axel, have been nothing short of wonderful—kind, supportive, and sweet as honey :). The food has been absolutely out of this world, though on the pricier side, thanks in part to Martinique’s economic and administrative connection with France. I still find it hard to believe that this colonial relationship continues to exist today.|The amenities rival those of any high-end hotel, and then some: a private outdoor pool, an inviting coffee setup, and an outdoor lounge—all designed for your enjoyment. Our room opened up to a lush hillside garden—just heavenly.||We are visiting during the rainy season and are still working on finalizing our itinerary. There is so much to do, it is going to require struck prioritizing. Be warned: the mosquitoes are ubiquitous, so bring plenty of strong repellent (DEET is essential). You can also expect rain most days, at least in short bursts.||Still, I look forward to discovering more of this magical island—its rich culture, stunning natural beauty, and layered history. I brought with me Cahier d’un retour au pays natal by Aimé Césaire, a must-read for everyone in the diaspora and beyond.||So excited to be here!

Wow! What an amazing stay at one of the nicest / most charming and well run hotels I've ever been. This is a must stay if you're in Martinique looking for a top end experience. Service worthy of any 5 star hotel but with no pretension and great attitude. Exceptional dining room worthy of Michelin star dining. Delightful breakfast included with an amazing range of foods to start the day. Rooms are clean, tasteful, luxurious with very comfortable beds - each come with a pool. The gardens around the property are beautiful. I cannot recommend Hotel French Coco enough. With particular thanks to Leitia (sorry I'm spelling your name wrong) and the breakfast team.

I WOULD stay here again because it has a cool luxury vibe and the service is top notch. This having been said, the rooms were smaller than expected. None of the pools shared or private have any heating. The upscale restaurant was not up to our expectations, despite very nice presentation and an excellent cocktail. Also the staff that we met are warm and genuinely friendly.

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 boutique hotel in a quiet part of Martinique. The rooms are spacious, elegantly decorated, and have a generous private outdoor space (some with plunge pools). Very attentive service overall, and the food is fabulous! The chef has taken good care to create a flavoursome menu with fresh, local ingredients. (A note about the area - there are a few beach bars within walking distance, but if you are staying more than a day or two, a car would come in handy.) Perfect place to begin or end a longer Caribbean trip!

The hotel itself is lovely, with most staff members being very kind and friendly. The rooms were advertised quite poorly. We had booked the largest room possible (advertised for fitting 3 adults) but there was very little room and no privacy whatsoever. We expected some kind of screen door, not for each bed to face each other only a metre or two apart… This was alright to get behind, though, as, despite misleading photos, the room itself was pleasant and comfortable. However, the restaurant was terrible. Server was incredibly rude, and we waited for 45min to receive menus, then an additional 30min just to get our drinks. We spent 3hrs total in the restaurant, only having ordered drinks and main meals. As I said, the server was incredibly rude and seemed to ignore us, catering far more to people from mainland France… The live music was fantastic though and the musician was lovely. Despite hearing rampant racism from the table beside us about the music, (which I, of course, called out) the atmosphere was great and very romantic. It’s a shame, as food was very good. Wish we could have enjoyed it.

I love the artistic touches and simplicity of this hotel. From the beautiful light fragrance when I entered the room for the first time to the little plunge pool, which was a blessing since the weather was hot. All rooms also have an umbrella, which is important, as the rooms are separated from the main building where the restaurant is housed. ||The hotel is small, which makes it feel quite intimate, and you get to know the staff who work there. All the staff were really helpful and friendly even with my limited French, which I appreciated. ||One thing I found surprising is that there was no soap by the bathroom sink in the room (just lotion). ||There is also no lunch service, but that allows you to explore other places to eat. There were a few times when the wait staff could keep an eye on the table to remove used items or fill your water glass, especially since it wasn't very busy when I was there. ||But you will enjoy the meals at the restaurant. The food and drinks were always beautifully presented and delicious. ||Finally you can also take a short walk to the beach and the little town where there are other restaurants lining the street. ||Martinique was easy to get around with a rental car and GPS. The whole experience was fabulous and rejuvenating.

We had a wonderful and quiet stay at French Coco. The service was impeccable and the amenities are beautiful. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food was good and the waiting staff were very attentive and informative. There are some nice hikes and beaches nearby. We would go back in a heart beat. It was a very peaceful experience.
