I been to Cap Haitien. Its weak if you looking for women. I'm waiting for the damn gangs to be eradicated in the capital so I can go to the capital but most importantly Jacmel. Because those two cities are where the REAL gems are.

Did a very quick trip from Santiago DR to Cap Haitien to see some history sights. Brought a local Haitian chica with me as a guide and for fun. Bus travel was smooth (caribe tours). Border paperwork / crossing is a bit overwhelming but with the Caribe tours on bus helper and my chica, we got through and changed money on the Haiti border stop.

Cap Haitien is a complete dump. Just filth and beyond poor. Keep expectations very low. No English and not much Spanish accepted. Creole or nothing.

Hotels are insanely overpriced as there is no competition. ACs only run for a few hours at night.

Now for the women! They are plenty and very attractive / fit / slender. A foreigner gets plenty of attention. The girls clean up nice along the boulevard just north of the city. Search "Cap Deli" restaurant. That's the nicest part of the city.

I think it's a potential goldmine for someone that puts in the effort and is ok with very mediocre hotel standards.

Be sure to have a fully functional burner phone to use on the street.

Taco.

I will be back on this peninsula next month for the better-part of one day and would love to find a sweet lady to have fun with.

Been there a couple of weeks now. Haven'the had much freedom because of coworkers who are not at all into the hobby being with me all the time.

Haven't seen any possabilities at all yet. Most locals are totally uninterested in us. No eye contact or openings st all.

Been chatting up waitresses at the few decent restaurants but with no privacy not sure what can happen.

Would like to find nice place for massage and more in NW section of town. Anyone know of any places?

Stopped along the road the other day to put minutes on my phone and cute girl was standing next to the guy I was buying from. I asked through the window if she needed a ride and jumped right in with me. I figured out she liked to swim. I had 1 errand to run out by the American embassy and knew there was a hotel with a pool not far away called the Stephia. It is located on 'The 15th of October Boulevard. ' A nice pool and clean rooms with a fan. 1000 gds gets you 3 hours of "swimming. " Somehow once in the room we forgot about the pool! I recommend the Stephia as it is small, quiet, has a nice pool (On a different occasion I actually used it! They don't ask for a bunch of info to rent the room, and has a nice paved road out front.

So I had chance to stop at the Shady Hotel and it is a decent place. Was only 500 gds for "yonn ti moman. " Aka a little while. An hour or 2 in a nice clean place with running water and a fan. Not bad at all. Would rec.

Went down to Jacmel a few weeks back. While there I took a stroll along New York Beach. Has a nice colorful tiled walked way with benches amd shade trees. Needless to say even in mid day there are lots of people around. Including girls. If you have Kreyol or French you can start a convo with them if you don't have either simply hang in the shade and they'll come around. On 2nd thought if you don't have either go talk to them anyway and you'll get something figured out. Everyone speaks sex. So, I met Darline while there a tall thin spinner. Decided to meet later and she took me to a hotel that turned out to be a real dive. It's across the road from the airport and is called the Air Royal but the sign has broken so is setting inside out of sight from the road. However they have beds, showers, and clean towels so if you just need something quick it works fine and for 500 gds can't argue. We took a moto and as we passed the "Shady Hotel" the driver kept wanting to stop there but she said no. Makes me wonder if they rent rooms by the hour. It's a far better looking place than the Air Royal.

If you're ever in pdp and have the "trouble" of needing a room I'd suggest the Hotel Holiday near the Son Light Academy. 30 dollars a room (not per person). A / see, and hot water included and good grub served in the courtyard with a nice view over the Caribbean where you can watch the fishing boats and the many sail boats hauling people and paraphernalia to Tortue. With son light nearby foreigners aren't such a spectacle in that corner of the city which is a rare thing in the north of Haiti.

Was in Cap this past week and the water is deep! It's been raining so some streets are flooded and the huge pot holes are now filled with water. Cap is known to be dirtier than PaP and that would be at least partially true. I was there shortly after some torrential rains (drove through some flooding South of Gonaives) so the dirt streets were a mess which turned out good for me! Several people had jumped in the back of my truck to ride through the water that was over my head lights and 1 happened to be a cute college girl. She lit up when she found I spoke Kreyol and the 1st question she asked was, "Where is your wife?" I could see where this was going already! I told her I was single (true statement) and we exchanged numbers. After texting and calling a few times that day she stopped by that night and wow! Patricia is a gem let me tell you. She's still calling me and I'm still wishing I was in Cap yet.

Cap. Haitian hotels are a rip off just like has been said on here years ago they charge a lot of money for shitty service and don't give a fuck if you like it or not because they are all full of government workers and we all know how those fuckers are treated like they can just take up all the eating area till noon.

But as far as this place being dangerous I just did not get that vibe I was walking the streets of cap at 1 and 2am the streets were really quite and relaxed at that time of morning. I ate on the street in the middle of cap a few times and was very cheap and good. I went out 3 days to the country maybe 50 miles from cap and it was much better for me to get the hell out away from so many people. Haiti is very poor but in some strange way the place makes you feel so alive and grateful to be there. I never got laid while I was there but did see a lot I would have like to but I was on the move and these ladies take more than a minute one must be patient in the areas I was in.

Please give a report of how you think things are now in Haiti after this latest warning from USA.

Thanks

[Grub1]

On August 13 2013 the USA web site has posted a new warning for people traveling to Haiti it replaces the warning that had been on there since the earthquake in 2010. The new one appears to be the same as the old one.

Has things changed for the worse lately or what.

I have always wanted to travel through Haiti and experience the life of the Haitians and there beautiful land but this new warning has me rethinking.

Any advice is always welcome

[BadBear2000]

Has things changed any for the good in this town since you wrote this

I heard things are changing but you should check with guys that have traveled there recently

[Grub1]

Gentlemen, if you like traveling on streets of shit, being ripped off by fuel providers, screwed by hotels, cheated by taxi drivers, no working ATM machines, only 2 hotels that accept credit cards, restaurants that don't take credit cards, you will love Cap Haitien.

To sum Cap Haitien up if you ever heard about the traveling salesman that kept seeing the sign advertising Grandma's *house just 10 miles and so on down until he reached it and decided to go inside. There sat Grandma at the counter. The salesman asked her how much and she said $100 but our women are very beautiful. He paid his money and she instructed him to walk through the door. When he did, he realized that he was standing outside. He turned around and there was a sign saying you have just been screwed by grandma and come again. That was the feeling I got going to the hotels in Cap Haitien. The nice hotels are full with NGOs, so called help groups, and UN workers paying ridiculous prices.

My son, Little Bear, and I were on a job in Quanaminthe which could be the trolling capital of the world if it had a place to sleep. I did not see any hotels. I will check on it this Tuesday when I return to finish the job. We got stuck and had to stay the night in Cap Haitien. We checked on the large hotels and they were full. We had not planned on staying the night and did not bring much cash with us. After all, you would think a city the size of Cap would have ATM machines or hotels and restaurants that accept credit cards. Wrong again. We finally got a taxi driver that said he knew a hotel that would only cost $100 and he is sure we could work out something. The only ATM machine was locked up and would be opened in the morning at 8AM. We went to the hotel with the guy to the hotel where she told us the price was $130. We explained the shortage of money and we would have to wait until in the morning to pay her and she said that would be no problem. She would send her boy with us the next morning to the ATM machine. I asked to see the room. It was clean but get this. There were 2 twin sized beds that just had enough room to wal between them. A TV with no channels. It did have AC. Here is the tripper. The bathroom was a community type bathroom in the hall. The light did not work. We were very tired and went to grab our things. Little Bear said to me,"Dad are we really going to pay that kind of money for that shit hole". I said if they have hot water just maybe it can wash away the pain. We asked the lady if it did and she said of course. I had to open the door to a room across from the bath room to take a shower. After 15 minutes, Little Bear asked me if there was hot water and of course there wasn't. We grabbed our things and went to the car.

I guess we sneaked out. At that time I was glad she did not take credit cards because we would have been screwed.

We went to a dump that cost 2500 gourdes which is about $60. We were afraid to touch the walls. We slept in our clothes. L counted my money and I layed it on a night stand. The next morning when we got up. 1500 gourdes was missing so the only thing we could think of was someone came in because we were sleeping so hard and took it.

My car runs on Propane and gasoline. We stopped to get propane which normally sells for 108 gourdes a gallon but in Cap it is 150 gourdes. 39. 5 gourdes to the dollar.

We have decided if we get stuck this Tuesday, we will sleep in the car. It would be safer, cleaner, and less expensive.

This is heaven on earth. There is a small hotel that will cost about $62. It sits right on the best beach area in Haiti. They have lobster for about $12. 50 which is pretty cheap in my book. There is no AC but you have the beach to cool down. There is no TV in the rooms so you have to entertain yourself watching the little hotties strolling down the beach. Poor Guy! I have been told that most of the babes you see in Petionville came from this area before they turned pro so they could use a little teaching. The traffic dies out there, thank goodness. Jacmel itself is just a small Port-au-Prince in my mind. The traffic with the motos drive me crazy so when I go, I try to stay in Cayes as much as possible. There is a public beach just a short way from the hotel and this place is wrapped up with what you are looking for guys. The prices are lower because they have not gone to the big city and gotten greety.

Hotel Lamati. They have no online reservations but you can call and the guy speaks enough English to get you a room reserved. I do no recommend this place for a weekend visitor from the states as you will need several days to enjoy. If you are working in Haiti, it is a great get-a-way for the weekend. 50938889386.

Trust me, you will love it.
