Situated on Martinique’s famous south shore, the Residence Marine Hotel Diamant offers lovely views of Diamond Rock and the surrounding bay. On paper, the list of features seems excellent, particularly for a two-and-a-half-pearl property. However, everything about the property -- from the decor to the food to the amenities -- is mediocre. The 149 rooms feature flat-screen TVs, outdoor kitchenettes, and private, water-view balconies but decor is simple and dated. Lack of direct beach access, unpredictable restaurant hours, and poor Wi-Fi service are notable cons, but most guests come here for a budget holiday and are willing to put up with at least a few inconveniences. While a bit pricier, Hotel Corail Residence offers similar amenities plus a beach and more modern decor.
