The property is beautiful and right by the ocean. It is clean and the rooms are spotless and very comfortable. It is a hidden gem. Only thing, there is no lunch or dinner menu.
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.

There was no cameras in the hallway but its a beautiful hotel with a lot of sea breeze, there was no threat while i was staying there, staff were kind &respectful
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.
The road is a nightmare...
It cost 3000 gdes for a taxy to take you to get some food...
Besides that everything was great...
Room was fantastic...
Comfortable bed...
Beautiful ocean view...
I was told they have breakfast but i didnt gwt a chance to tey it...

The service is very poor, breakfast was simple same breakfast everyday eggs and spaghetti with black Coffee and toast, they don’t provide water or milk. No fruit served at all. The workers were very friendly and helpful.
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.

It’s a very nice hotel by the beach but unfortunately there isn’t a restaurant on site and it’s a turn off. Otherwise it would be one of the top hotels in Cap Haitien. The ownership should strongly reconsider having a restaurant on site if they want to remain competitive and be one of the best destinations.
Hotel property is nice but the road to get to it is terrible and the included breakfast needs very much improvement, not quite value for money, can improve to A1 with small twiks.

There is not anything good I can say about this hotel. Everything was terrible, from location to service etc.
There's a lot of things need to be done. Although the staff are very polite and amazing there is still some things at the hotel that needs work. For example, there's no ac during the day time, they only serve breakfast and not any other meals. This was a beautiful looking hotel but it still needs a lot of work.
When I arrived, there was no water in the shower. It had to be fixed.
the breakfast is VERY basic. There was no jam available for example. The eggs were served without any else on the plate, not even a slice of tomatoe.
Not to be recommended
