Lovely peaceful one bedroom with beautiful view of the water
I recently stayed in the one bedroom apartment "Le Guatiao" and it was by far the best place that I have rented in Martinique. Located on Pointe du Bout, I had a lovely breeze on my balcony at all times. From the balcony I watched the kite boarders do aerobatic flips on the bay side of the peninsula (pointe). Nadine is definitely the BEST apartment/guest manager I have had on all my travels. My rental car had been severely damaged by a hit and run at my previous rental apartment so I ended up without a car and quite upset. Nadine was very sympathetic and helped me in more ways than I can explain in this paragraph. (Nadine also arranged for a taxi driver named Moise -very nice and spoke English-to take me from the apartment to greet my husband at the airport and take us to our next apartment.)
Le Guatiao's apartment building is quiet and secure and has a small pool and covered patio in the front courtyard for relaxing or socializing (unfortunately I do not speak French - just a few words) and an open patio in the back facing the bay. There is also a pier in the back and some residents were snorkeling. I thought there may be too many waves for me in the bay, but they did not have any problems. The sandy beach down the road (Anse Mitan) can be reached in just a five minute walk - and there are lots of great restaurants/cafes, bakery, bank, pharmacy, small grocery store and the marina where you can take boat tours (North or South) all near the apartment so I was able to get along without the car. As I left the apartment I told Nadine how much I liked the artwork in the apartment and she told me that the owner Beatrice was the artist! I highly recommend Beatrice's one bedroom apartment if you are traveling solo or as a couple - and I have heard that Beatrice's two bedroom above mine "Le Taino" is even more beautiful. Merci beaucoup Nadine and Beatrice and Moise! Wendy (Wisconsin, USA)
