Accommodation
Accommodation is limited in Haiti. Existing facilities include modest small inns, guest houses and palatial-style hotels. The majority of accommodation is in Port-au-Prince and Ptionville, while the beach hotels are north of the capital on the road to St Marc or west towards Petit-Gonve. Accommodation is also to be found in Cap-Hatien, Les Cayes, the Gonve Bay area, Jacmel and the Petit-Gonve beach area. Swimming pools and air conditioning are essential in central hotels where the heat can become severe. All resorts offer substantial reductions between 16 April and 15 December. A 10 per cent room tax is added to all hotel bills. For more information contact the Ministre du Tourisme (see Contact Addresses section). Note: It is vital to make reservations well in advance for the Carnival period (see Special Events in the Social Profile section).
