French Coco Hotel

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!

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.

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.

Simply amazing. I loved my stay and every single detail. The staff was super friendly and room clean, great communication with the Concierge via WhatsApp. If I ever come back to Martinique, this is where I want to stay. Would definitely recommend the French Coco for whoever is looking for a calm luxury stay on the island! Thanks!

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.

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 !

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.

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. Wait staff at breakfast and dinner were attentive and service was timely. We found the reception staff to be charming and tolerant of our limited French. Marion and Steffi secured restaurant bookings for us - their charming demeanours exemplified the personable nature of this bijou hotel. We were glad to have stayed in this modern and stylish accommodation and we can understand why it is so highly rated on review sites. Its location made it ideal for exploring Martinique’s many attractions by car. It should be remembered that to get off the Caravelle peninsula requires a 15 minute drive but hey, we’re on holiday so who needs to rush? This is addressed to those drivers who like to ride as close to the car in front as possible - one of the less engaging features of driving in Martinique.
