CLERENCE LUC

Fast efficient. Good staff. Not many places for food and there's really only one duty free mall. Small amounts of everything so don't expect a lot.

So my rating is a 4.5. The old airport probably wasn't very nice. It's being renovated as I sit here awaiting a return flight to the US. When we arrived over a week ago, deplaning _ baggage claim was very quick. Inbound passport control was very efficient. But, perhaps due to the renovation, it was quite confusing finding the rental car pickup. It will eventually be right there for you before you exit the terminal on the lower level, but for now those offices are not open and there's no signage in French or English. Zippo. When you come back here to leave Martinique, it's pretty easy. So you check in on the lower level, where you enter. For AA at least, they opened the queue exactly 3 hrs before the flight. Mid week, this place is pretty much empty. Their version of TSA didn't ask for removal of shoes or belts, at least for our group, and we were just about the only ones going through the line. Weekends, I've been told, can be *mobbed. But on our Thursday mid day, a total breeze. The departure area is the upstairs area, and it's new & quite nice. Shopping, and some cafe like places.

We came through Martinique to catch our crusie ship. It was late when we arrived and was thankful there were taxis available to take us to the port which was $35 Euros or $ 40 US. Some taxis don't accept US so I recommend changing your cash if you can. Our departure however was not horrible. I will not recommend using this airport only if it's the last resort. We arrived 3 hours before and boarding opened 1 hour before the flight time. The departure time displayed board was wrong to begin with. Our boarding pass stated gate 12 which was on the other end of the airport. Our flight was scheduled to leave 5.15pm at 4.45 there was no announcement or Caribbean Airlines representative at the desk. One of the person in our group got a text msg informing her that boarding is at gate 9. When we went ot inquire the person at counter 9 was very rude to us. Eventually we found out that boarding is at gate 3 instead. Which is on the side of the airport. The representative at the counter did not apologize for the delay whatsoever. We had to wait another 15 mins to board the plane because it was not ready after walking through the ramp. Our flight was delayed further because of the confusion some of the customers got lost and got stuck in an elevator. The flight left 1 hour later. I will never visit Martinique and don't recommend it to anyone. There is no food court.

16.12.2025 What a disappointment. This was the first time we met unfriendly people in Martinique, at the security check AND ESPECIALLY at the cafeteria. Badly made cold and expensive sandwiches, unpleasant staff. Tables and chairs were free, but the personnel forbid us to sit there. So, no restaurants, no shopping, no comfortable chairs to sit on. A good reason to go to St Lucia or elsewhere, instead of coming here.

Awesome Caribbean style airport with awesome efficiency, awesome views, awesome staff and service. Toronto Pearson Airport could learn a lot from Aime Cesaire airport. Take off views are mint, and remind you of how green and great the island is

The people at the gates are very rude. They stopped us going down to the plane and then someone told us to catch up with our group. When we moved someone else stopped us and I told them what the other people said and they wouldn’t let us pass. When they finally told us to go again they said we needed to respect their rules but we were getting two different directions. They tried to make us out to be the problem when we were doing our best to follow their rules.

One of the worst international airports I've been to. The staff speaks very little English, everything is overpriced, and there is only one food option after security. Furthermore, there was no information provided about our flight delay. We ended up waiting for over four hours and had to find updates ourselves on the airline's app.

We are in France, kinda, where are the smoking areas? And what kind of poor attempt at making money is it to have only one place open that sell any alcohol in the entire terminal. Its an airport, you can basically print money on alcohol and other drinks. Its an airport in the tropics! The tropics! Where is my damn pinacolada! ???!!! Maybe hire a business expert, or just any person of the street will do. Really......
