Haiti
This cultural community center is a long-standing institution. Run by guide Maurice Etienne and his family, the center welcomes visitors with traditional dancing, folk songs and drumming, along with a huge Creole feast (reservations required). They're constructing a swimming pool and community rooms. Simple rooms for visitors (US$50 per person) are available if you want to overnight.
Call Lakou Lakay to book Maurice for a guided tour of the Citadelle and Sans Souci palace (US$50).
