Abaka Bay on Ile a Vache - review

Abaka Bay is a family friendly hotel that is beautiful decorated and tropical! Although we only visited for the day and didn't sleep here, the staff let us into the rooms to see what they were like!

The beach: The beach at Abaka Bay is PERFECT! The rooms are directly on the beach and there's a perfect view from almost every room. You can almost touch the water from the colorful villas. 

Best part: The view is definitely the best feature about this hotel. Oceanfront rooms that are nicely decorated and equipped with conveniences that you might desire when traveling. 

Tip: Transportation to Ley Cayes - Take a large bus to Ley Cayes that you can catch in downtown Port-au-Prince for $10 US per person. We took one back to PAP, but on the way there, we took a pa padap (a small white local bus taxi also $10 US per person) to Ley Cayes...NOT SAFE! The bus goes very fast and passes a lot of cars, which is more dangerous than the larger bus.  The large bus goes much slower and takes longer, but safety is first :) Both are air conditioned, but not blazingly cold. 
This hotel is more active and family friendly. This is important to consider when deciding to stay at Abaka Bay vs. Port Morgan, a more relaxed, quiet and romantic resort.

Call your hotel to ask when the boat transportation leaves the Ley Cayes port so you have enough time to drive to Ley Cayes and then catch the boat to the hotel.
