I am so glad I chose Hotel Florita to stay at in Jacmel. I would love to come back with friends and family so they can see it. As a non French or Creole speaker it was excellent having staff who could speak English. I am a young white America traveling alone and I felt extremely safe here. The hotel... More

I am so happy that my boyfriend and I were able to stay at the Florita a few weekends ago. Joe, the owner, and Jean, the manager, corresponded with me by email to help me with my reservations and transportation arrangements, as I was coming from Port-au-Prince. Without their help, I would have been a little lost trying to figure... More

Our mission trip ended with a 2 night stay in Jacmel at the Hotel Florita. You feel a bit like stepping back in time with the colonial feel to the hotel but that is all part of the experience. The rooms were unique with the mosquito netting, clean and comfortable with various local pieces of artwork. Unfortunately our shower had... More

Trip Advisor, This was an honest review. We however have fixed the ONE complaint the guest made--low water pressure due to a pump since replaced and usually working fine (just not on that day) And we apologized and invited them back. With the promise that we would not charge them if they had the same complaint. I see that a... More

This intimate hotel in Jacmel is a surprise. Great rooms with original wood floors, four-poster beds with good mosquito nets. Nice staff, a great bar and atmosphere and even a pool. All well maintained. Only drawback was the food needs improving.

My husband and I recently spent two nights at the Florita. Within the context of all the struggles that Haiti has faced, this hotel is really doing a good job. The rooms were unique and comfortable. The meals were fresh and well prepared. The pace of service allows visitors to savour each course. The staff were accommodating and genuinely happy... More

I didn't get the chance to stay here, but our group had a great meal at their restaurant. Good service, good drinks, and good food. Great atmosphere too. The only downside was when it rains, the front of the restaurant floods. But that's what happens when you visit during a rainy season. We just grabbed a few more drinks and... More

The Florita has been a fantastic place to stay. The buildings are beautiful, staff friendly and helpful, and the rooms we stayed in were quiet and comfortable. They offered to pick us up at the bus station, but we opted to take the local moto taxis instead, which they helped us negotiate a reasonable price on their end. The main... More

For those valuing Caribbean heritage, then a meal or even a sleep is de rigueur when visiting historic Jacmel, and touring its old quarter, in the heart of the town by the little port. For breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Hotel Florita is a must, for good Haitian food and drink. My grilled redfish dinner was delicious. Great place for... More

I did not have the chance to stay at Florita, but I enjoyed all mi visits there regarding the Wi-fi, the natural fruit juices and the interesting people at the lobby. I also know they treated very well to my friends who actually live at Jacmel. If I return. I guarantee more visits.
