Hotels Near Place Carénage in Cap Haitien

Aesthetically beautiful and well-physically maintained. This hotel is designed for pure relaxation as it is located away from town at an adequate distance but not too far from downtown. Very large pool and is well situated. PRO- View from all parts of the hotel is breathtaking (Mountain and Ocean). The hotel is clean in all areas. The pool can use a more consistent cleaning. Cons- Breakfast is beyond lacking. Omelets most days. No deviation from the menu whatsoever. Shockingly being on an island and no fruits are provided with meals. If you asked for fruit, the staff gives you the same look like you are asking for the sky. They appear to have a strictness on everything. We requested lime juice 4 days in a row and the staff gives you the deer in the red light look. And that part was extremely frustrating. WIFI in the room is non-existent, even when you are sitting in the balcony area. If you are in the dining room area, Wifi is good and that is basically it. No way to communicate with staff if you need something. You practically have to leave your room and go search for staff. Staffs have no decision-making power. Everything thing needs to be communicated with the owner. No electric power in the room between 7-6 pm, therefore is no AC. Transportation is extremely difficult after 7 pm to go downtown due to the location of the hotel. Transportation is extremely available if you are downtown and coming back to the hotel. The beach is front of the hotel is filthy. Don't even think of going down there to swim or relax. The little sand area is loaded with trash (Plastic bottles, bags, and other things).

First of all people must stop assuming realities are similar all over the world. The effort, expenses and investment a owner must have in Haiti are not the same as in Spain or Canada. Things are difficult. This said, I was super happy about my choice. It's so much nicer to stay in Milot than in Cap Haitien (which anyway can be easily visited anytime). I couldn't find anything looking reliable under 100 USD in the city. But found La Belle Maison and got a rate of about 60 USD. Including a tasty breakfast. And also, Milot is lovely, safe and picturesque village close to what most tourists are look for around here: the citadele. Accommodation was humble but pleasant, I slept well, had Wi-Fi most of the time, and good communication in Spanish. Acceptable shower. Good food (but not varying) for dinner. Advice from Erick, the owner, who although is not phisically on the spot, is always there for you via Internet. Great host! I loved my stay here.
