The property is very nice and located across the beach. However, there is no provision for transportation and there is no restaurant on site. Otherwise it would be one of the best hotels in Cap Haitien.

I absolutely loved the view. I could see the water from my balcony and that was a lovely site. The staff was great and accommodating and the property is very clean. As far as what I did not like, the road leading to the property needs to be improved. Otherwise, a great property and great staff.

This is an amazing place, beautiful view of the ocean, very clean, staff went above and beyond to meet the guest (s) needs. My most dislike is: they did not have a good food options for the complimentary breakfast, like ( coffee, milk, condiments, warm bread, ect) the small little things that makes for a great breakfast. This writer is fully aware that such things may be difficult to obtain at times, a little extra effort is all that is being ask.

I stayed for a week and everything was great. The property was clean and the staff was friendly. The only thing I would say is there was a lack of variety for breakfast and there is no restaurant on site (although you can order delivery). Other than that, I very much enjoyed my stay.
