Hotel Corail Residence is a mid-range, budget-friendly beachfront hotel with residential flair. Set in a quiet location close to the intimate Anse Mabouyas beach, the hotel features a courtyard-style pool, a laid-back bar and lounge, and a variety of rooms and apartments with kitchenettes and outdoor dining space. While guests can listen to the the sounds of the crashing waves from their rooms, they must walk along a rocky dirt path (past large barking dogs) to reach the beach, and a car is needed to get to local restaurants. Those seeking more amenities might want to check out the larger Pierre and Vacances, also in Saint Luce.

Residence Hoteliere Les Cayalines provides basic, two-pearl accommodations with just enough amenities for self-catering travelers in Saint Luce in Martinique's south. The unassuming entrance opens to surprisingly lush, impeccably maintained grounds filled with tall coconut palms and tropical flowers. The 64 rooms are clean and bright, with dated, no-frills decor and modern appointments including kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and private balconies. There are few common amenities, except for a small pool and private access to an adjacent beach. However, the public nature of the beach and spotty Wi-Fi access could discourage some guests. For a bit more, Hotel Le Panoramic offers similar amenities and modern rooms, however, it lacks direct beach access.

The Pierre and Vacances Village Club is a sprawling 337-room, mid-range condominium resort that caters to families and active guests with amenities that range from water aerobics classes to Jet Skiing to scheduled entertainment at an outdoor amphitheater. The huge lagoon-style pool is the main attraction, offering plenty of lounge chairs, a hot tub, and a kids' pool. Three restaurants, a private stretch of white-sand beach, and clubs for kids and teens keep guests on-site. There's also a well-stocked market, a plus for self-catering guests who prefer to cook their own meals in the kitchenettes on the terraces of their rooms. While there's plenty to do, the hotel's generic French-Creole style lacks authenticity, and rooms are on the small side and could use some updating. Those seeking a more intimate and stylish property might consider the Hotel Plein Soleil.
