Cyvadier Plage Hôtel

Top choice


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.
