Les Boucaniers Martinique - French West Indies

We recently spent the last week of May at Club Med Les Boucaniers, and despite a few short rain showers, plenty of sunshine and warm tropical breezes that made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

There were the amazing GOs who brought so much energy and warmth to the experience. A big thank you to Leo and Vanessa at the bar, Clara at fitness who kept us in shape during our vacations, the talented photographers Guglielmo and Silvia were fun to chat with, the morning walk team for their informative outings, and to the snorkeling team who made underwater adventures safe and fun.

We regret not staying longer to try more activities. We wouldn't hesitate to go back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Club Med Boucanniers. There was a small error at check-in but was promptly and most cordially rectified by Julien at the "accueil". Julien inquired as to our satisfaction a few days after our arrival.
The resort, the room, and all the facilities were well kept and very enjoyable. The food was excellent and varied.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed Valentin and Nicolas at the paddle centre; they showed great enthusiasm while hosting the daily activities.

we spend one week in the Club Med Les Boucaniers. While I usually am very enthusiastic about Club Med, I have mixed feelings this time round. On the positive side, the Club has recently been renovated and I must admit the Club is really beautiful. The grounds and gardens are impecable and really gorgeous. The bar area is nicely arranged with plenty of seating areas. Rooms are basic but quite large, with a large bathroom and seperate toilet. As usual there are plenty of possibilities for sports and activities.
I would like to specifically mention Magali, the yoga teacher. While I am not a yoga-addict, I must admit that the daily yofa courses with Magali were the best I have ever done. She is truly very professional and knowledgeable, paying attention to everyone and our little 'problems'. I also did Fitness Dance with her and it was the first time that I noticed that people on the beach were observing, us, getting excited and just joined up. It is people like Magali that lift Club Med to the next level.

On the down side, while Club Med prides itself on the food it offers, I was quite disappointed. Before dinner, we like to enjoy the apero and join for dinner a bit later to avoid the crowds. On several occasions, several of the dishes had run out and were not replaced, thus limiting the choice very much. While the Club does not foresee a kids / teen club, there was quite some focus on what I would refer to as food for children, nuggets, pizza, etc. At breakfast for instance, there was no granola or muesli, only chocopops and regular cereal. The usual barbecue on the beach was literally a joke. My barbecue at home is larger than the barbecue used and what was offered was a sausage on a sandwich. That is not what I am used to in a Club Med.

Club Med has the best food and activities. Best to be comfortable using French language at this particular resort
