Off the main highway, this is the furthest of the beach hotels from the center of Jacmel, but also one of the best. Good rooms in a cluster of buildings face the terrace restaurant, helmed by the Swiss-trained chef-owner Jean Christophe, and out to the private cove of Cyvadier Plage (nonresidents welcome).
The charming, multi-talented Jean Christophe also organizes game fishing expeditions, at $375 per boat for up to four hours.
