La Jacmelienne Beach Hotel, Jacmel

I thought Yahoo Travel could be trusted. So we thought we could stay in a great hotel on the beach for $50 a night. Does no one use Yahoo Travel? I'm sure other people have written that it was destroyed in the earthquake. Don't you check? Why have a travel guide if it is never updated? The earthquake was in January 2010. That was 2 1/2 years ago. Why do you send people to places that don't exist? The only hotel in town was $80 for the cheapest room--and isn't even listed on Yahoo travel. All the other hotels are outside of town and one needs a car.

No people have stayed here for two years--or ever will again. Try the Hotel Florita at Rue du Commerce # 29--the #1 hotel in Haiti on Trip Advisor. Call Jean Senatus at +509 3785 5154.

This hotel is located in the middle of Jacmel Haiti. It is close to the market and even closer to the ocean. We were able to buy fresh corn from the market and roast it on the beach with the locals. I met many local friends who are very willing to show you the sites of Jacmel, for a small fee. souveniers and Haitian gear are sold on the beach. the Hotel is very secure and has a wonderful restaurant with delicious Haitian food, breakfast lunch and dinner if you are around. very close to the popular beaches, a short tap tap ride away. The staff wear traditional Haitian outfits and are always ready to serve. enjoy a drink by the pool or st at the bar next to the beach.

That is the response I got when I requested anything from the staff at LaJacmelienne, it could be done. I love Haiti, I love Jacmel and it's surrounding areas, the people are accommodating, friendly and the landscape is breath taking. We took a small boat out in the bay and the view back looking at LaJacmelienne surrounded by palms was a beautiful sight. It isn't perfect but neither is life. I hope it preserves it's natural beauty.

it is lovely... the service is great. they have a nice "panorama", a nice view. you really feel that you are in the caribbean. it is all that i can say

Jacmel,,, das where i was born,,, i can't wait to go back,,, there'r real nice people over there,,, its a place to live,,, I LOVE JACMEL

The Hotel grounds itself is respectable. I tried to get a room and only had american dollars, with my friends suggestion he said lets change the money and we will get a much better rate. The counter lady showed us 2 rooms and agreed on the price. We changed the money and returned moments later, to our suprise we were told the rooms are no longer available. Now let me mention she was upset that she couldn't swindle me with the exchange rate in the first place. Lucky for me we found a nice hotel in the town for a much better rate and better accomidations.

we enjoyed our stay at la Jacmelienne, quiet place and friendly people. It never amazes me how honest and nice the Haitian people are.Haiti is a wonderland and hopefully will one day be recognized as a natural paradise.

Haiti is the best country in the world , no matter how poor the it is , it s the best place to go to relax and have a good time

I know none of the five star travelers will appreciate LaJacmelienne or even Jacmel but, to the person who likes primitive and wants to be part of the people and their country while visiting, this place is perfect. I will always miss the spot between the palm trees and will forever think about the boat ride in the bay and our ride on horseback from the hotel up to the mountains to the lagoon. If you are looking for Ritz Carlton, don't go there. If you look down on people who value a penny as much as you a dollar, don't go there. Haiti's natural beauty will only be marred by unhappy tourists. I love the place.
