Le Francois Apart Hotels

"I rarely leave negative reviews, but my recent stay at Karibea Valmeniere Hotel has been, without question, the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. First, the Wi-Fi has apparently been down for weeks with no clear plan to fix it—completely unacceptable, especially for a hotel charging these rates. My wife and I, along with several other guests, were left waiting over 6 hours just to get into our room. There was no communication, no urgency, and absolutely no effort to accommodate us during that time. The customer service only made things worse. The staff was consistently rude and unhelpful. At one point, after hours of waiting, I asked for something as simple as a cup of coffee and was told I would have to pay for it. Not even a complimentary glass of water was offered while we waited. To top it off, all on-site restaurants were closed until 7 PM, leaving us with no food options during a long and exhausting wait. For $250 a night, this experience is beyond disappointing—it’s unacceptable. Travelers, beware: this hotel is not worth your time or money. I will never return, and in my opinion, it doesn’t even deserve a single star."

"10/10! Highly recommend staying at Domaine de l’anse mitan. Very clean, beautiful apartment with a gorgeous pool and only steps away from the beach and restaurants. Kitchen is amazingly well stocked. The property managers are extremely responsive. "

"Staff Exceptional. Rooms need upgrade"

"Beautiful tranquil property with picturesque ocean views. Nice beaches nearby Staff were friendly and very helpful."

"The pool was great! The ONLY negative thing about the stay was the WIFI - while it worked, we were unable to send or receive imessages on our iphones; neither could we access Facebook. We would have to walk over next door to the sister property, B&B HOTEL to use their WIFI. We believe that this was caused by the "Chart Wifi" that B&B HOME uses."

"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."

"I think I happened upon one of the best overall hotels on the island. The location is great because it is right on one of the better maintained popular beaches with several nearby food options and a small grocery store. My room was an upper room overlooking the beach and bay. Because it is a popular beach, it was difficult to find a parking spot in the hotel parking lot during the weekend days, but spaces became available in the evening. The room was very clean and well maintained. It was very quiet at night, all you hear is the waves on the beach. I recommend the nearby sushi place and pizzaria. Great hotel."

"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."
