Wahoo Bay Beach Resort - review

Wahoo Bay Beach Club and Resort day visit review:
We visited Wahoo Bay Beach for the day to enjoy the pool and beautiful ocean. It is $15 US/person (price in 2012, call for current price) to get in which is totally worth it! The food is very good and the servers come right to the beach to bring our food and drinks. You can find a variety of tourists and locals at the hotel where there's a nice volleyball court and amazing pool!

The beach: The beach was packed! The shore doesn't reach too far out and the water is close, but the way it's set up makes it comfortable to relax outside of the water. 

Best part: The vibe at the hotel is great! Even if you're not staying overnight, the staff makes you feel at home.

Tip: The hotel has a signature drink called the Wahoo. Don't drink more than one...I heard one is plenty! :)

Wahoo Bay Beach Club and Resort overnight visit review (Jan. 2013):
We visited Wahoo Bay again, but this time to sleep at the hotel. The service was wonderful. The owner and her daughter are very friendly and out and about to speak to the guests. The guests were diverse and there was a general welcoming feeling to this stay. The food is amazing! The rooms are modern and beautiful. The beds are comfortable and the views are incredible!

Abaka Bay on Ile a Vache - review

8/19/2012

9 Comments

 
Picture
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.

Port Morgan on Ile a Vache - review

8/19/2012

11 Comments

After winning the tourism slogan contest, I knew I wanted to go to Ile a Vache for my winning prize, a hotel package for 3 nights. I was recommended by Haiti's Minister of Tourism's staff to stay at Port Morgan. Port Morgan is a beautiful hotel located on the island of only 15,000 people. As soon as we arrived to the hotel's dock, we were greeted by the friendly staff and shown our room. The staff really is great and make you feel at home, catering to every need you may have...and with a smile! 

The beach: The beach at Port Morgan is not a typical beach front because it's cliffy and rocky. There are still lounge chairs to relax on and it is absolutely beautiful. Don't be surprised when you see horses and goats at this beach! If you want a more sandy ocean front, I recommend walking to Abaka Bay (see my review for this hotel here), another hotel on Ile a Vache or get a local to show you the deserted beach nearby! It is AMAZING!!!!!!!

Best part: The hospitality and the food make this place an absolute must! The French owner is always out working and mingling with the guests to make sure they are having a great time. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all over the top! The food is amazing, home cooked and abundant!

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. 
Also, Port Morgan is a very relaxing, quiet, romantic place. If you're looking for a more active, family friendly hotel, you should consider Abaka Bay.

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.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to the Minister of Tourism's office for giving me and my family a chance to visit this beautiful place! Messi anpil!!!!!
