Cormier Plage is probably one of the nicest hotels in Cap Haitien relatively speaking (not that there is much competition...).
The pros:
- good service for the most part (excepted for one time where our driver stood us up, but the owner gave us a bottle of wine to make up for it). The workers overall are very nice and very polite.
- excellent food
- great beach (although not really good for swimming because of the close reef, and alot of rocks at the bottom) with rooms with ocean view
- peaceful
The cons:
- we were overcharged on new year's eve. We ended up paying an additional US $99 per person for a buffet (no glass of champagne was included and you would have to spend over $100 for a bottle). We thought the new year's eve dinner was included in our package since we did not have the option to take the regular menu (normally included the other days).
- worst bathroom we ever stayed (old, all white tile, rare hot water if any / dripping water, floor always wet from the shower)
- the hotel was hard to reach in the first place for the reservation. Not all of our questions were answered before booking (such as what was included in the package, or the meals) in spite of several emails and calls attempts.
- although our driver was wonderful (the one that ended up replacing the driver that didn't show up), we felt that prices were high, especially for Haiti. My girlfriend is haitian and thought they were abusing and taking advantage of people visiting there. It's a shame because Haiti is a very nice country and this might discourage alot of people from coming back.
- some night time activities would have been nice, since the hotel is far from pretty much anything.
As far as recommending this hotel, I would probably say yes with some reservation in regards to pricing. Overall we had a wonderful vacation.
