Hotel La Bateliere

Used to be a nice hotel Need some improvement work :Painting, furniture, structure, ceilings ...

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. In spite of some reviews complaining of the condition of the hotel, I was comfortable and happy there. The beach water was perfect for me. Housekeeping did a prompt and good job. The restaurant was good. The breakfast was amazingly good. My balcony was close to the sea. There was a shopping area and pizzeria within a short walk. The staff helped out in my arranging a tour and in getting taxis. The only drawbacks were that the food was a bit pricey and I did not get a hot shower often.

While making the reservation through Expedia I paid to upgrade to "ocean view" room instead of the standard "partial ocean view", and ended up getting a very disappointing partial ocean view anyway, with obstructed views by a crumbling building/rooftop. After two days the hotel "accommodated" a move to another "partial ocean view" where at least I didn't have to look at the ugly infrastructure, but still not as described/shown on the website pictures and reservation. Hotel restaurant staff only spoke French and menu was only in French, thus it was very difficult to order a meal. I speak English, Spanish and some Italian... Overall the hotel infrastructure is in disrepair, and unless you speak French folks don't appear to be very friendly.

It was for one night before my flight it was very nice

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The ocean side location was lovely. Loved the beach restaurant.

Breakfast not appealing same thing everyday. Since different cultures stays here need to add variety to the breakfast. Stayed her 4days the same breakfast everyday

Nestled next to a bird sanctuary in Schoelcher Martinique on the west coast of the busy island you will find this older, but once grand hotel. Both sunsets and sunrises visible from our covered balcony (which is necessary when the skies open up here). I don't care for air-conditioning, so the cross breeze in my room was welcomed. The casual, but great cuisine of Lili's Beach Restaurant never got old for us. The breakfast buffets were plentiful, regularly visited by the birds. The Casino Mall across the street (take the walking over-pass) provided me with wine and treats and forgotten necessities. My only complaint is that the mini fridge was pretty much a constant 70 degrees and the staff didn't seem to care less as cold drinks and ice are not so much a European thing as it is an American expectation. We took the bus to Fort de France for a visit to the port area and found the hotel to be much brighter, cleaner and open. The beach and the pool are precious...the beach being intimate and the pool over-sized and 12 feet deep. Lots of sun here.

open setting as you walk in is really nice. Great lounging areas to view the beauty of the sun and sea. Older hotel, obviously with age comes wear and tear. Could replace the flooring in the rooms, at least the rooms I viewed. Shower worked ok. Good location. Wifi worked rather well all the time which is impressive. Staff were pleasant. Breakfast was good. Lili's Beach Bar is great and the place to go for food and drinks, great staff as well. Parking is very limited. Pool area is nice and well kept. Beach area is nice as well. This is where I will stay again on my next business trip to Martinique.

My visit to Martinique was quite nice with visits to the zoo, Trois Islet, museums, Jardin Botanique and lots more. The hotel staff were quite pleasant and very helpful. We did experience some difficulty with the mal functioning of the air conditioning unit in our room. After a few days, the air conditioning unit stopped working. It was very difficult to sleep at nights and that prevented us from having very restful nights. We were miserable in the evening.

The hotel needs a lot of improvements, the outlook is terrible, the gym was in general dirty and the machines do not work other than one. The air conditioning did not work either.
