I can second all of the above as I have fond memoies of each of these countries.

I add Turks and Roatan, Hondurus.

Caveat: i haven't made it yet to t&c, mostly because years ago when maid service, etc was common, the resort host tacked on $250usd for departure cleaning (way before airbnb normalized this). And, as I always had weekly cleaning incl in my rentals 7yrs ago, this rubbed me the wrong way. No cleaning and a $250 fee...nah, im not doing linens laundry AND paying $350 cad.

Be sure to ask the right questions if you are booking privately.

Hello/bonjour,

I am off to Martinique for my second attempt this year. My Jan visit was wrought with issues outside of anyone's control...and so I think Martinique deserves a second chance.

Day trips booked/planned over 2 Christmas weeks incl

• 
  Catamaran to st pierre
  Hike around st pierre and some of the volcano
  Le carbet to visit petit bonhomme beach bar
  Fdf incl grand marche, library, and ?
  La savanne des esclaves
  South day tour to Les Salines with many stops along the way

I doubt josephines bath is in my cards. I do hope to stop at at least one distillery but not my focus.

What am i missing re christmas events or other must dos?

As with most trips I will not rent a vehicle.

I look forward to your recommendations.

Au plaisir,

Cc

Bathhouse being assembled! Last strong rumor is parking lot open mid-December. AND, most importantly, 6 of the 8 arrests at Muddy Creek for simple nudity a few weeks ago have been thrown out of court! The other 2 apparently took their penalty and fled home.

If I remember correctly, they provide beach towels. It's been two years since we stayed there though.

Bingo - You are right! We were onboard the last week of September. Season was definitely winding down but there were still plenty of boats and the water tolerable for swimming.
