 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!!!!!

Though I am for developing haiti but it has to be done the right way. Haiti is like the other Caribbean islands which have no natural resources. We are talking about an island that experts until recently have reported to be worth 100 trillion dollars. The underground of my island haiti is littered with precious metals and liquids. Why not concentrate on these resources that can bring about real changes. 11/29/2014 11:12:21 am
This place reminds of Port Douglas. I also want to travel here

The resort at Port Morgan is beautiful, elegant, and a destination unlike any other I’ve been to. The water is the bluest I’ve ever seen, which framed by the natural fauna of the island and Haiti’s natural beauty made me relax just looking out to sea. This is an island of no stress, and a perfect spot if you want to enjoy a light hike through a tropical forest, or drink fruity cocktails on the beach, or go ‘off-the-grid’ on a hidden gem dream vacation. The resort was recently renovated to include internet throughout. Many people describe “Ile à Vache” as a Paradise and I’d have to agree – this vacation was one of the most wonderful times of my life. The staff of Port Morgan was really kind and did anything they could to satisfy my needs. There is no world to describe the food - the buffets are delicious. I really enjoy my stay in your place and I cannot wait to be back! 2/22/2018 11:43:19 pm
