Hôtel Les Jardins de l’Ocean

Haiti


This French-run hotel seems to ramble up the side of the hill it sits on, so there’s no shortage of terraces offering gorgeous sea views (the rooms themselves have none). Rooms come in a variety of shapes and sizes, all individually decorated to the owner’s funky taste – we loved the one with the mosaic wall of broken mirror.

Some rooms have kitchenettes and even exercise equipment! There is 24-7 electricity powered by solar panels – a rarity in Haiti.
