The Best Hotels Near Hotel Bakoua, by the Record
-
A small thatch-roofed bar on stilts above the water anchors this classic Caribbean resort on a pretty peninsula at Pointe du Bout. Rooms are comfortably understated, but the real point is the balcony, preferably one furnished and hanging just above the beach. Two casual restaurants lean on fresh local seafood, and the breeze, the icy drink, and the view do most of the heavy lifting. Martinique has been rebranded six times over; Hotel Bakoua has simply stayed put.
-
Terracotta rooftops and white stucco climb 65 hillside acres above Labrelotte Bay, giving this luxury all-inclusive the look of a Mediterranean village until the palms and Caribbean Sea set you straight. Fresh from a significant renovation, the resort leans into its St. Lucian setting with locally sourced menus and a new rooftop bar. Villas, beachfront suites, and hillside rooms round out the 220 accommodations.
