Pierre & Vacances Premium Les Ilets is a beachfront family hotel in the Gros Raisins area of Sainte-Luce, on Martinique's south coast. It has 72 units, all with furnished patios and free WiFi: standard studios for up to three guests, some with sea views and terraces, and two-bedroom sea-view apartments of about 581 square feet that sleep six. The grounds include an outdoor pool and a children's pool, a poolside bar, a terrace and garden, a spa with massage services, fitness classes, a tennis court, volleyball and a playground. There are two restaurants on site and a 24-hour front desk, with tour assistance available. Parking is free. Guests rate it 8.4 out of 10 across about ninety reviews, with location the highest-scoring category.
Location and getting around
The hotel is beachfront in Gros Raisins, a quiet part of Sainte-Luce in the south. The booking page puts the Martinique Regional Nature Park a minute's walk away, the Plage de Pont Café about three minutes on foot and Gros Raisin beach and Anse Corps de Garde about thirteen minutes.
The airport is roughly 33 minutes by car, one of the shorter transfers among the hotels in this guide. A car is useful for day trips, since Les Salines, Diamond Rock and Les Anses d'Arlet are all within an easy drive along the south coast.
The rooms and the feel
The studios and apartments make it a practical choice for families and small groups, because the larger apartments give two bedrooms and a terrace for up to six guests. The pool and the children's pool, the playground and the sports facilities keep younger guests busy, while the spa and the poolside bar give adults something to enjoy as well.
Breakfast and supervised childcare cost extra, so check what your rate includes. The star class is not stated, so judge it by the facilities and the guest scores rather than a rating.
Good to know
Check-in runs from 4pm to 8pm, and check-out is at 10am. Early check-in and late check-out are available for a fee, subject to availability, and late check-in is possible during limited hours. Pets are allowed for a daily fee, which is unusual among the hotels here and helpful for travellers with a dog. The south coast is quieter in the evening than the capital or Les Trois-Îlets, so you will want a car or taxis for restaurants beyond the two on site.
It is a good base for beach days and for reaching Les Salines, which is a short drive away, and a sensible choice for a week of slow family holidays with a few excursions.
