Resorts in Haiti

Unfortunately Haiti has taken a severe hurricane hit in September 2008 which led to a lot of resorts and hotels having to rebuild their accommodations. There are still enough places to spend a vacation though, but always double check the shape the hotel is in. The majority of un-affected resorts are located near cities rather than on the coast.

Tourist season

Being located right on the hurricane belt, Haiti is often hit by sever hurricanes, which means some hotels and resorts often close down for renovations between June and October (the hurricane season).

The high season starts in December and ends in April, with the highest prices being around Christmas and New Year’s. The low season starts in May and ends in November. In May and November you can still find some good discounted offers if you want to avoid the high prices, but try to stay away from the hurricane season.
