Frommer's Review

The Martinique is the newest budget option of the Windsor chain. Located just around the corner from the Miramar, the hotel is only half a block off the Avenida Atlântica and offers excellent value. The hotel consists of two buildings side-by-side that were gutted and then joined together. This makes for some mazelike hallways and some small rooms, but on the plus side, the hotel is only a year old and everything is top-notch. The best rooms are the superior ones that look out over the street. The ones closest to the corner (rooms that end in 13 such as nos. 413 and 513) even have a partial ocean view. The standard rooms look out over the back lots of the adjacent buildings. However, all are pleasantly furnished in bright colors and have comfortable beds. Nice details at this price level include the hair dryer, makeup mirror, electronic safe, and the high-speed Internet in each room (R$15/US$6.25 per 24-hr. period). Most of the rooms accommodate two people only. If you require a room for three, reserve ahead of time. The hotel even has a rooftop pool and sun deck but with the beach only 300 feet away you'd have to be pretty lazy not to make it out the door.

Facilities:
Restaurant; rooftop pool; cardio equipment; concierge; room service; nonsmoking floors; laundry
