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 my Haiti visit. I will never forget sitting on the front porch restaurant, sipping wine, and overlooking the lights of Port A Prince as a huge thunderstorm rained down. The gardens are beautiful, and potted ferns adorn every nook and cranny. The Oloffson could be called, "bare bones" by the spoiled. But the history, the Haitian culture, the wonderful music, and the ambiance are truely of another world. Don't miss your chance to stay in Haiti's "magical oasis."

“Graham Greenes Grand Hotel”

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. I had stayed at the Oloffson off and on for the past forty years, and it has resmained almost the same. Not so for Haiti, which has suffered greatly. Read the Grahm Green novel "The Comedians" and check out the Oloffson. It remaions the same, with almost all of the same off beat guests. Check out the owner Richard Moorse and his band,RAM for a real treat. Read about him and the hotel in the book "Immaculate Invasion". See it all today, it may not survive the modern world until tomorow. The last of the Great Ones

“Historic and Artful”

I stayed at the Oloffson last Nov. 02. If you are looking for luxury, Haiti will be alll wrong for you. The hotel is comfortable and Richard, the owmer was friendly and very helpful to me. The food at the restaurant was very good. My purpose in Haiti is to find artists. Alix Toyo is available to serve as a guide and without his help it would have been difficult to find all the artists. I plan to stay there again when I return.

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. The staff will accept payments of cash for bar and food purchases and then charge your room again, which leads to serious discrepancies at check-out time, my suggestion do not stay here.
