With around 300 rooms and 47 acres of a beach-lined peninsula to itself, this mid-range, all-inclusive resort tries to ensure that guests never have any reason to leave, filling their hours with multiple food options, more non-beach activities than one person could accomplish in a 10-day vacation, and, thanks to the kids' club, no excuse to use the kids as an excuse for not having fun. All this comes with a price, of course, including the fact that the large crowds at the beach and hotel mean less privacy all around. Rooms are small, and show some small signs of age. Those seeking more quiet and fewer kids might prefer the nearby Toubana Hotel, while those who prefer being closer to Saint-Francois might prefer the more affordable but also mid-range Le Manganao Hotel, which has an all-inclusive option.

Like a Europop version of a Disney hotel, this 514-room, 35-acre, mid-range property with sun-baked plazas and grassy rolling hills is a sprawling complex of pools, beaches, faux-plantation guest-room buildings, and three restaurant options. Kids take precedence, and there's an active kids' club with supervised activities as well as a separate club for teens. Quiet it is not, though the sunlit, citrus-accented rooms come with outdoor kitchenettes give families the option to self-cater (meal plans are also available). It's also worth considering kid-friendly Le Manganao Hotel & Residences, which has a full all-inclusive option but lacks the teens' club here.

On an island beset with small, mid-range properties, Club Med Buccaneer's Creek stands out for its size alone. The large, three-pearl all-inclusive offers a wide-range of amenities including one of Martinique’s longest hotel beaches, a beautiful, oceanfront infinity pool, and two open-air restaurants with excellent food. Rooms have mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and private balconies with (optional) ocean views, but the style is dated, decor is spartan, and we spotted wear like stained furniture. Additionally, some of the bars and restaurants could use an update as well. With 292 rooms, the property can feel crowded at times -- for a more intimate alternative, Hotel La Pagerie is almost half the price, although it lacks a beach.
