mon Ecolodge Creole

The place is located at 10 minute drive from the centre of town and provides a wonderful immersion into the greenery around Fort-de-France.

However, the accommodation seems to be comprised of 2 seperate lodgings, which is not obvious based on the advertisement. We were put into the cabin that is located right next to the host's house, which was both unexpected and inconvenient as we heard someone watch a tv series late into the night. It was generally very loud during the night as one could hear neighbors and parties going on in the valley. There was no mosquito net as shown on the pictures, which meant that during the night, due to the fact that it is a wooden cabin with high ceilings, we were being bothered by mosquitos with no hope of catching them. The floor of the shower was broken in a way that made showering slightly uncomfortable, and, unfortunately, the place was not as clean as hoped, especially considering the price of the accommodation.

From the bottom of my heart a big thank you and warmest hugs to Mark, Joy and Charly for your hostess, kindness and all you did for me in the paradise you created! I fall in love in your home. It's much better than any high rated hotels I could ever imagined. I wish you great health and all the best! I'll be happy to see you again! Sincerely, Natalia

Nous avons adoré l’endroit : un cadre magnifique, très dépaysant et paisible. L’accueil était exceptionnel, le personnel était gentil, serviable et vraiment adorable avec nous. On s’est sentis très bien pendant tout le séjour.

Rien de particulier, tout était vraiment parfait pour nous.

The place is down many steep steps into a ravine that is private and has no cars or street noise. You are surrounded by jungle/forest plants. The cabin in cute and well designed. You will feel like you are camping; it is rustic. The host and the family who live there were very kind and let us use the pool.

The beds were very uncomfortable. The next issue was the howling dogs, roosters, and other animal noises going all night (make sure to bring earplugs). Also, there were amenities listed that did not exist. There is no TV, no DVD player, the bathroom is not really attached (you have to go down some wobbly rocks to get to the toilet), it is not soundproof (open to all the sounds around) and there is no view (I consider a view to be a high point were you can see a distance, as I mentioned, this cabin in in a ravine so there is not much to see, except the trees around you). We also had trouble connecting a laptop to the wifi (although it did work for our phones). I mention all of this to help future guests decide if this is going to be a good place for their vacation.
