Fond Bernier Hotels, Schoelcher

"Overall it was a great choice for not expensive one night stay. The property itself is a little bit old, the towels need to be replaced. But it has everything you need especially we love balcony and a drying rack for our wet clothes after beach. Also included buffet was good with the lot of choice. We can recommend this stay for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money "

"Room could be improved "

"The sea view was incredible. The staff was very helpful and they gave a tour of the main areas. Walking distance to 3 beaches. "

"The rooms were clean just dated, staff were very unfriendly, the breakfast was good but overpriced and parking was easy, but anything was uphill."

"Great location and view of the beach. Hot shower, comfortable bed, nice pool area and housekeeping was awesome. The other staff were friendly enough but not overly helpful. Parking was a problem on a couple of days so be aware you may have to park at least a block away. Awesome bakery around the corner, pizza place was good too. Not a lot of other restaurants in the area though but many a short drive away."

"Really friendly staff, most of whom are helpful and efficient. Lovely room with gorgeous view. The only issue with this place is the remote location. The only working restaurant within walking distance is in a sister property, that requires navigating a challenging 45° hill. This also includes the breakfast every day, so be prepared ! My advice is not to stay here unless you are renting a car. "

"PROs: The property is very clean. The gardens and grounds are kept neat and all areas are clean. The huge pool is wonderful. It is a secure resort so we felt very safe. On-site grocery was great to keep costs down. Inexpensive food options are available (cafe with crepes; pizza, etc), there are nightly activities (dancing, music, etc). Nice beaches are right in front of the hotel. Staff helpful and friendly! sunsets are amazing. CONS: The resort has an old feel. Rooms feel dated and somewhat 'patched up' in places. You feel like you are stepping back in time but there is also certain old school charm nonetheless; concrete walkways are cracked in many places giving it a worn appearance. For the luxury level prices, the place could have been more updated. There are daily excursions through a third party company but prices are very high. Complementary shuttle to airport would have been appreciated. "

"The actual resort was beautiful but other than the pool and beach, there was nothing else to do. The food was okay. This is not a great travel destination for Americans, unless fluent in French. The American was flying inverted, which made us stay at the resort and not travel outside. Overall, pretty resort and that is the only positive I can provide."

"Reception and restaurant on site are often closed which is very deceiving. The beach is not very long and full of plaque of thick rocks."
