South of Weird

My wife and I secured an excursion with Thomas several months in advance of our cruise in Oct. 2016 and again confirmed our excursion with him just days prior to our sailing. Imagine our surprise and disappointment when we arrived onshore and were told by him that he was unable to accommodate us because he had secured a larger group and that he had no room at all for us. In all our many sailings and our arrangements with independent tour operators we have never experienced such an occurrence before. Fortunately we were able to secure another tour although it wasn't what we had expected. I honestly cant recommend a tour operator that would drop us in a heartbeat for more $$. I absolutely do not recommend Thomas Vincent as a reliable tour operator for Martinique.

We were just at the Cozumeleno a week ago, and we stay there annually because we love the place. It's a slow part of their season now until mid Oct. so it wasn't at all crowded. If you are there just for the day then this is what you will encounter. The food and drinks are just pretty average but you'll have no problem finding something to suit your taste. They have exceptionally nice pools for both adults and young ones. There are nice beaches that are easily accessible. They have a short pier on property that provides some of the best snorkeling on the island. The staff there is friendly and attentive. From the dock in San Miguel its only an $8.00 cab ride each way. We do the week long all inclusive there but have seen a few day only visitors. Depending on what your expectations are the Cozumeleno could be a nice option.
