Frommer's Review
One of the most unusual and historic properties of Martinique, this hotel lies in isolation about 2km (1 1/4 miles) north of the village of Le Marigot. It's set on 2 hectares (5 acres) of land whose edges are engulfed by acres of banana fields. About 2km (1 1/4 miles) inland from the coast, it was originally built in 1928 as part of the last sugar plantation and rum distillery on Martinique. Today, the ruins of that distillery rise a short distance from the Louisiana-style main house. Rooms are either in the main house or in what used to be the stables. We actually prefer these rooms, photographs of which have appeared in architectural magazines. Each unit is different, and contains antique or reproduction furniture crafted from mahogany, baldachin-style (canopy) beds, and French colonial-style accessories. All units have verandas or patios, with views over a tropical landscape of gardens and banana groves.
