User reviews

"Martinique is a great place to visit, but it can get really crowded on weekends. The water is perfect and the view is beautiful. There are plenty of good restaurants near the beach. You have a few parking options - you can park on the street near the beach or, if you don't mind walking a few hundred meters out of the city, there's a big parking lot that I would recommend."
