I stayed at the Oloffsen in September 2003 for about five days. As somebody wrote the hotel is in a very very bad shape. A far cry from what the high society luxury hotel of the fifties. Don't forget that, with Cuba, Haiti was a primary destination in the Caribbean back then. Since then it appears that no care has... more

My stay at the Oloffson, in Sept. of 2003, was a step back into another time. The hotel is charming. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The other guests were eclectic and fascinating. I read Graham Greene's The Comedians while rocking on a huge verandah outside my room. The pool was like heaven after the heat of... more

If you want a four star resort with all the bells and whistles, skip the Oloffson. If you want to experence a real jem that has all but disapeared from the world, dont miss the Oloffson.

This Hotel is a trash pit. The owner, Richard Morse, does not keep the place up, and the prices will continue to fluctuate while you are staying there.

I was extremely disappointed with the hotel. The room was not as advertised. I had to ask for a television. The airconditioning was broken and was't going to be fixed for three days due to the Easter holiday. I would not have minded not having AC, but the mosquitoes were bad and the hotel did not have mosquitoe netting over... more

Picture a gingerbread house on a hill in a tropical land. Imagine entering the circle drive and looking towards the center of the courtyard. There your eyes will see a fountain surrounded by wild turkeys. If you look a bit farther you will see the infamous pool (read Graham Greene's The Comedians) As you pass the Vodou statues on the... more
