Hotel Panoramic

Stayed for 6 nights for a work trip. Location is ok although we needed a car to get to the office anyway. Village is 3 minutes walk down the very steep hill, 7 minutes to get back up! Always nice to walk off that big dinner anyway :-) If you replace "hotel" with "villa", your expectations are going to be far more realistic. Don't expect a bar, restaurant, lifts to your room, etc. Instead, expect a nicely equipped kitchenette that you can cook a decent meal in. It includes microwave, 4 hob stove and an oven. Oh, and a fridge/freezer and kitchen sink! Room is very comfortable and nicely decorated. My only "complaint" would be the wood panelling at the head of the bed but that's subjective. Housekeeping came every second day for me and didn't clean the dishes and pans in the kitchen. That was my only let-down. Staff are super friendly and the three that I spoke to all spoke good English. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Not actually far from the beach, but it is up a bit of a hill. Internet worked on the balcony, but it didn't work inside the room.

Hotel is in Ans le'Anne, which is not the main tourist area, more a local holiday place. It's a pleasant little village with good food right on the beach, but quiet. Hotel is a bit up the hill, but no hassle for anyone with even average condition. Internet works on the porch, but very poor signal in the room.

Waking up, walking onto the balcony with a view over hills and sea was a very happy way to begin the day. Felt at home very quickly. Rooms were clean and newly refurbished. The kitchenette supplied all one would need for a longer stay. Staff very helpful and mindful of the details of our room requests. Someone even found us a rental car, a miracle since it was Carnival and we had been told none was to be had. Le Panoramic is not a luxury hotel with restaurants, spas, and such but I very much liked this amiable, family-owned hotel. It was fun walking down to the beach, eating at the restaurants there,and shopping at the little local grocery.

Arrived on Sunday late afternoon after a delayed flight. There is no restaurant in the area, noting to eat or drink at that time. The beach is a short walk away about 5-8 min but the two beach bars are closed after sunset. If you like evening activities/entertainment this is not the place to be. It has no such facilities around. There is a Beach Club nearby, however, they cater to club members only (french speaking). Our room had a kitchenette with refrigerator, coffee maker and electric stove with slow cooking due to limited power. The bathroom has a shower, towels are changed once a week, so is cleaning, no blow-dryer in the room. The Internet is unreliable, in and out, requiring Log In every time it goes out. There is a TV set in the room with 15-20 channels, none in English, French only. Anywhere in the world where I traveled I had at list a CNN or a BBC channel - English speaking. Other than these shortages, the hotel is in a quiet area, clean, freshly painted, has relatively quiet A/C, good views to the sea and nearby beach.

My husband and I took our first trip to Martinique and stayed in Hotel Panoramic for 9 days. It was very nice and quiet. The hotel was just a short walk from the beach. We loved the pool, kitchen facilities, and VERY helpful staff. The view from the room and pool was beautiful!

The hotel was great and offered a great view of the bay and was close to the local restaurants and the marina. The only drawback to the location is that the hotel is located on a hill and the walk back from the marina, and restaurants, is quite a hike. No problems, but you must allow some additional time or call a taxi. Hotel staff are very pleasant and the hotel has a nice swimming pool that is very relaxing. I highly recommend Hotel Panoramic to anyone visiting the area. I have stayed at the hotel on three separate occasions.

We stayed at the hotel for a week. It was a bit off the beaten path and away from touristy areas and other hotels, but in a great location. Having a kitchenette was great, as we used it to cook breakfasts and reheat leftovers from when we dined out. All rooms face east, so they all catch the morning sunrise, which can be very warm and bright. Our room was away from the main two story group of rooms, at the end of a row of four rooms. Very quiet. We spent our mornings having coffee and breakfast on the patio, and we would also sit on the patio after dinner having a bottle of wine and looking out at the harbor lights. We would request the same room again. If you want a place to get away from it all and just hang out, this is it. Heads-up on a couple of things: 1) Bring your own soap and shampoo. Only two packets of shampoo were provided, essentially to cover the first shower. 2) Electrical power system is easily overwhelmed. The second night we were there I was charging my laptop (it was off) while my wife was using both the oven and stove. The energy demand from the stove and the oven caused the power to go out in our room. The receptionist immediately came to our rescue and reset the circuit, but advised us not to use the oven and stove simultaneously. 3) The place is not in a central area. Consult Google Maps and other online maps, and print them out. Arrive before night falls, otherwise the hotel might be a little tough to find.

The view from the hotel is good, and the nearest beach is also quiet and beautiful. The room amenity is really minimum; a few packs of body/hair shampoos, no soap, no tissue box, but you can buy whatever you need at the supermarket nearby. Breakfast is included for the first morning only (if I understand correctly). Milk, juice and a few packets of teas/coffees are also compliment. Though everything is not gorgeous, all necessary things are equipped; air conditioner, fridge, shower. Hair drier can be borrowed at the reception. No microwave. It looks the water for the shower is heated by sun light, so if you take shower in the morning, it tends to be cold, though in the daytime, it is hot enough. A little noisy at night, due to the noise from the bar at the beach.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Panoramic. The room was comfortable and clean, a refuge with a beautiful view and garden. Every evening after sightseeing all day, we felt that we were returning home. The kitchen facilities enabled us to cook our own meals, and the fresh baguettes in the office every morning were a real treat. The manager was very helpful in accommodating our late arrival (at 11:00 p.m.) and early departure (at 6:45 a.m.) and giving us good directions so we could find the hotel.
