I normally don’t write rave reviews about anything but I must say I was impressed with Case Coco.
First off, the owners are both exceptionally nice and welcoming. They spent time showing us the apartment when we arrived. They even left a welcome folder with us documenting where to eat, what to do in each town, where to go for the best beaches or rhum distilleries to visit (side note: Dillon does not do visits anymore, but the nearby La Favorite distillery has a self-guided tour and tasting), etc… The notes in the folder are in French, succinct, but very well documented, and much better than the research we had done before going to Martinique! This was very useful to us, and we took this folder with us while driving around the island.
Regarding the apartment itself, it is spotless (like brand-new), as described. Plenty of towels, big screen TV, gated with remote control, etc… It is also well located, quiet, and within a walking distance to “La Guérande”, the local bakery, good for breakfast, and lunch.
For us, this apartment worked great. This was our first week in Martinique, and we had chosen to spend our second week at the nearby hotel La Pagerie, just to get something different. We were able to wash our clothes at Case Coco, without worrying about the second week.
There is also a phone that you can use to call the local restaurants… That was also very useful for us, just like the sun umbrella for the beach, etc, etc… and I probably forget other things…
In many ways, Case Coco was actually better than the more expensively priced and smaller hotel room, and still a driving distance from the Pointe-Du-Bout (about 15 minutes).
At the end of our stay, our host at Case Coco brought us some accras (sorry we could not eat them all!). All of this contributed to a wonderful experience in Martinique.
Also thanks again for the bottle of rhum!
