RUDE STAFF, BEYOND RUDE. If you are not fluent in french, all staff members will pretend not to understand you. This place had broken beds and rooms in a BEYOND aweful state. I should have trusted the reviews and saved my money. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY that was spent on this hotel.

Amazing!
An Amazing find! Great room, ( quality sheets and towels) and helpful staff. Right on the beach and always a bed available. Good swimming and snorkeling - saw lots of different species of fish. A few minutes walk into the cute ‘village’ with great informal restaurants - you feel you’re in France with the food- AND a boulangerie!! Definitely would return!!

This place is exceptional -- the location, the grounds, the views, the open-air lobby and dining areas, excellent breakfast buffet, the beach and pool. Even though the bathroom is somewhat dated and other areas could use some attention, the staff was helpful and friendly and I would give this resort one of the best ratings in The Caribbean (and I've been around)!

Decent but overpriced.
Niel at the front desk was soooo sweet and amazing. The rooms on the beach are the nicest so I would suggest those. The other rooms were nice but the AC leaked for a few days before they came to fix it. The food was overpriced but good at the restaurant. The people at the beach bar were rude. I may stay again if they make upgrades.

The location is superb right in the middle of Trois Ilets with an infinity pool overlooking the beach and a bar for cocktails and drinks after 4pm. The beach is excellent for swimming, snorkeling or just wading around. It’s shallow for our toddler and gets deep enough further out for the older ones. The hotel is outdated with simple furniture but the rooms are clean with a balcony. We had a spacious room with two double beds and space for a crib they provided. The balcony overlooked many palm trees and the beach and it was very quite. They have a buffet at the beach restaurant, La Sirene on Sundays with a live band so it was nice to hear it from our balcony. The staff is very friendly with Keny, Cristian, and another gentleman at the front desk being very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet is decent at 20 euro person with the usual fruits, pastries, salads with ham and cheese, boil your own eggs station and a cook for hot eggs and omelettes and crepes and coffee and juice, etc. a crepe with ham, cheese, and mushrooms cost 9 euro outside, so this buffet is worth it for the variety and amount of foods you get. And they won’t mind if you take away a banana or yogurt for a snack later. They have lounge chairs and think beach towels for hotel guests which are very nice. There’s also a cute Cocoa Bar right on the beach for drinks and sandwiches. We went there daily. It’s worth it to stay here.

The View, Pool and Beach were all amazing and to an extent balanced out the tiredness condition of the rooms and common areas. The resort has seen better days and with a renovation could be at the top of hotels in Martinique.

This is a great place 6 days per week. Beware, however: every Thursday there is a massive outdoor party with ear-shattering music that lasts from 8pm until 2am. This is not your ordinary hotel party. The bass will shake the pictures on the walls and loosen your fillings. There are no rooms in the hotel where the noise level will be bearable. If you like parties, this is great. If you are trying to put your kids to sleep, get ready for a bad time. Families should definitely stay somewhere else on Thursdays.

Monument en peril
The is a great area, the environment is splendid, but the hotel did not aged well. There has not been enough maintenance or care brought to the place and it is a real pity. Most of the staff members should not be in the business. They are just sinking it by the way they behave. We were happy to have Air France flight attendants staying over, since it did help getting better breakfast experience. We will most probably not be back there, and would of course not recommend the place to people we care about.

Rare hotels that has it's own private beach in Martinique. Good location, lots to do around. Hotel has good potential but is a little run down in places. I am sure it used to be very nice but has not seen enough maintenance. Breakfast is OK, not great but you have other options at walking distance. We had a few good meals there but again, not spectacular. A few staff were nice but most are quite cold and not particularly interested in assisting you.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bakoua. We researched hotels with enormous scrutiny and chose this one with an upgraded room right on the beach....im so happy with the choice and spending a bit more. We paid for breakfast on the 2 mornings and though at 20euro a person is high, you get pretty great food(imported cheese) with a spectacular view. All around hotel service was amazing, rooms dont provide lotion, so pack some. They do offer 1l water bottle each day. Very quiet area, adjacent creole village was very nice for food and shops.

No value for money with rude attitude
Excellent location, good room with comfortable bed. Overall infra somewhat weared out. My stay got a very negative turn due to the rude behavior of the receptionist. Both at check-in and check-out the desk was empty. At check-out he managed even to say a single word. This is the service at the most reputable hotel on the island where a client is treated like a dirty towel. I’m a frequent business traveller over 35 years and I’m afraid that this is my most shocking experience

Excellent beach location and plenty of beach chairs and shade. Beautiful pool area although chairs not as comfortable and no umbrellas. Good location for ferry to Fort de France. Everyone was friendly. Restaurant stated to be every night but often there are changes to a special menu by the beach instead. Lunch options at the beach could be more extensive with longer hours.

We had a room on the beach which was so ideal. The location of the hotel was perfect, easy to walk to the town which had a lot of restaurants, shops and the marina. The room was small, but functional. There is not much help from the hotel to plan activities and excursions, but as for a place to stay and relax, I would recommend it highly.

I love my room with sea view! It was really worth it! I also enjoy the open spaces in the hotel. The food at the restaurant La Sirène was wonderful. The only downside were the parties and weddings going on during my stay: 3 out of 7 nights with loud music or live band until 2:00 A.M. It is common in July and August but not really the rest of the year.

VERY GOOD LOCATION
Adequate room, clean and comfortable - coffee, milk and hair conditioner not replenished once used, which was disappointing, despite requests. Reception staff very helpful and welcoming, but all other staff quite surly. Food at all restaurants was good, but very expensive. The location of the hotel, minutes away from shops (great boutique shopping as well as swimwear/t shirt shopping), restaurants and bars, was perfect. It is also minutes away from the marina, from where you can get ferries or leisure boat trips. Beach was good, felt like a very safe bay for swimming. The entrance lobby, bar and main restaurant area had a lovely old colonial feel, a little tired, but that was part of the appeal.

A pleasant surprise
Our 1st time on Martinique. We loved the sprawling open air 1st floor. We couldn't believe that our room was 15' from the beach and 40' from the water. We liked the covered private patio outside the room and used it a lot (note, this made up for the somewhat small room size). There was a nice deep tub for my wife and a shower for me. The free breakfast included pretty much every breakfast food you could imagine (salad?) The hotel appeared to be 40-50 years old but was very well maintained and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unlike St. Martin, where I'd estimate 9/10 residents speak English, I would estimate 1/4 Martinique residents speak English. My wife and I speak some French, so we had to step our game up, but when there were problems communicating with a staff member, they would find someone who spoke English. We greatly enjoyed our stay, we will go back.
