Villa Saint Pierre, Martinique Another French Caribbean gem, this ultra-affordable (the rooms are often under $100 per night) Villa Saint Pierre has just eight rooms, most with views of the fishing harbor. And yes, there’s a little black-sand beach at the foot of the hotel, where you can spend your afternoons after exploring the fascinating history of the town of Saint Pierre (and the two world-class rum distilleries, Depaz and Neisson, each within about 10 minutes’ drive).
