We just got back. 3/29/05. My husband and I went down to haiti to adopt 2 little girls. The staff at the hotel were kind and helpful. The food was very good. The water is safe to drink in the fridge and at the bar. The raw veggies are also safe to eat because they bleach them and then rinse them in filtered/ culligan water. We would go back if we need to. They have very good security at the hotel. I was there with the girls by myself for two weeks and as the civil unrest went on all around us, I felt totally safe.

I visited the Visa Lodge in March 2005 after my flight was cancelled at the last minute. After spending a week in the countryside of Haiti, I welcomed my stay at Visa Lodge. The room was clean with a queen size bed, hot water, a fridge, air conditioning, and a TV!!! (CNN was the only English station) The staff was polite and professional. The restaraunt provided delicious food (large portions--the pepperoni pizza and chicken were delicious!) The pool was clean and there was also a pool table and a nice bar. It was a pleasure to stay there even though it was not planned!

we stayed at the hotel december 2004 and it was very good.
the UN had posted guards there as well. we enjoyed our stay and will be going again
