Le Panoramic

The accommodation provides well-equipped kitchens, spacious rooms with private balconies, and a beautiful pool with scenic views. Guests enjoy a complimentary breakfast and praise the cleanliness and attentive staff.

Hotel Le Panoramic offers incredible views, a functional kitchenette, and fair prices. Pros: We ate most of our meals outside to enjoy the wonderful view from our patio. The pool is pretty good and also offers a great view. The hotel is well located and has free parking for guests. The room we stayed in was well designed, there are floor to ceiling curtains you can use for privacy as the doors are glass. Cons: Our room included only body wash - no shampoo, conditioner, or lotion to be found. We also didn't have a blanket on our bed and were told there were no blankets available when we asked for one. We turned the air conditioning off and didn't get cold but it was surprising. Misc: Although the kitchen has basic cookware, dishes, cutlery, stove, and oven, you'll need to purchase basic supplies like salt, paper towels, oil, etc. There is a bar or club nearby that plays extremely loud music - it's not terrible when you're inside but maybe bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Breakfast is included on your first morning - we received two pain au chocolat, two croissants, and a demi baguette as well as coffee, milk, and juice in our room. The smart TV includes 10 local channels but no streaming services are included.

Can only say good things about Hotel Panoramic. Anse d'Ane is a pretty and typical bay in the Southern part of Martinique. It is possible to have day trips to anywhere on the island from this base although the frequent traffic congestion around Lamartin/Fort de France can lead to extended journey times. To visit the North of the island you are advised to get up very early indeed. Obviously you need a rental car and the nature of Martinique tourism makes car rental almost mandatory. On mainland Europe Hotel Panoramic would be called an aparthotel. The accommodation is excellent, reasonably modern, clean, and comfortable. They are studio apartments with an entirely adequate kitchen and a large living area that both lead out through separate sliding french windows to a balcony large enough for a table with chairs. The balcony is not suitable for a sun lounger, nor is there one, but there is a swimming pool area with loungers a few steps away. The air-con is good, the bed is kingsize and firm. The hotel website is accurate. A small welcome pack of juice, butter, coffee, jam, milk, sugar is placed in the kitchen for your arrival and fresh baked bread is delivered to your room around 7.30am complimentary on your first morning. This is available (for a charge) every morning by arrangement. The tap water is fine to drink. The wifi works well and if you are hopeless at tech (like me) the staff will get you logged on. Some of the apartments have a better aspect/view than others, and have more or less privacy. It is advisable to discuss your preferences with the hotel at the time of your booking to avoid any disappointments. My one observation of significance is that my emails to the hotel got lost or went to spam. Not only prior to booking but also when I was onsite and forwarding my flight boarding pass which they kindly offered to print for me. It was only when they emailed me that my replies appeared on their system. This is frustrating as I would have liked to have booked directly rather than using a travel website to make my reservation. The staff are all friendly and helpful. I have no reservations about giving this destination a 5 star review.
