These days, tourists in Haiti usually have another compelling reason to be there, other than tourism. This hotel isn't for the tourist looking for only a luxury Caribbean vacation, but is ideal for people who are in Haiti for another reason and looking for a getaway weekend. Undoubtedly the best feature of Cormier Plage is the food - amazing lobster, seafood, and breakfasts. There wasn't a meal we did not thorougly enjoy. And the prices for food and drink are quite reasonable (breakfast and dinner are included in the $146 per night room charge). Wireless internet throughout the property definitely attracts several people. The grounds of Cormier Plage are gorgeous, particularly the gardens growing throughout the hotel. There is a short shallow stretch of beach before you reach a coral reef that's impossible to swim over in low tide, which makes this an ideal spot for children to play in the short shallow space of water available, but perhaps not an ideal beach for adult swimmers.

It seems that Cormier Plage has been declining since it's hayday and is now cutting corners on rooms and service. Staff make sure the grounds are immaculate, but take a few steps down the beach off the property and you'll find the beach littered with garbage. Service in the dining room and bar is very slow and not entirely reliable. The room wasn't as clean or as nice as you'd expect for the price. If you're spending more than one night in the hotel, don't expect housekeeping to change your towels between nights or provide any more than two handtowels and two regular towels. Air conditioning only functions after 6pm. Water pressure improves after 6pm, but isn't great.

All this makes Cormier Plage a wonderful place to spend the day lounging on the beach and at the bar, but probably not worth your money to pay for a room so you can stay overnight. If you can find other accomodations in the area, we recommend you do - Norm's Place in nearby Labadie is much more charming and reasonably priced.

great service, wonderful staff, terrific beach -- and excellent food -- the road to the hotel is a mess -- but that is not unusual in Haiti!

I finished up a mission trip to Haiti with a week of relaxation and rest at Cormier Plage. I almost had the beach to myself and the view was absolutely beautiful. The food and service was great. It was a little difficult to get the waiter to understand "I want ice tea." The weather was divine and the rooms very comfortable. I would love to go back again.

Myself, husband, 2 children, and cousins (who live in Haiti )decided to spend 1 night here after learning about it's reputation through word of mouth of being one of the best hotels in Cap Haitian(It was so nice we ended up staying 2 nights). I have to say I was truly impressed with the resort. It was much like a tropical paradise with a beautiful clear beach and calm waters. The waters had a strong sea smell but we got used to it. We were maybe 1 of only 3 rooms booked at the property so it felt like we were staying at a relative's mansion. Very personal and quaint. The check in reception personal took the time to show us several rooms to choose from. The grounds were lush with tropical greenery and that's when I knew right away this was a property that was well taken cared of.

Rooms: We chose a large 2 room suite which was perfect in giving my husband and I complete privacy from our 2 kids, ages 12 and 17. The rooms were simple in decor, all white, with a very tropical feel, large beautiful colorful paintings of the sea on the walls. It was a refreshing change from the dreary looking Mont Joulie Hotel we stayed at in Cap Haitian the night prior. My husband did not appreciate the rooms as much and enjoys the more modern hotel style rooms with t.v.s and all the newer furniture and modern conveniences, but I'm more of a minimalist and felt the rooms beautifully matched the theme of the resort and the island as a whole.

Dining: The room rates included breakfast and dinner and I have to say I was more than satisfied with the quality and value. Where else can you get a nice sized fresh lobster grilled or in a savory butter sauce every night included in a rate you would be lucky to find for a simple room in the states. My daughter and I agreed it was the best lobster we ever had. My hubby enjoyed the fresh grilled snapper which we witnessed brought by the local fisherman right off the beach. The service is very, very slow and overly formal. This probably reflects a french style of service since the owners of this quaint resort are frenchmen. They should consider changing this style of service for who wants to wait 20 minutes for a second glass of water during dinner. Either way, the wait staff were freindly and acommodating.
Breakfast was great with island style fresh fruit and fruit juice. Overall good food but wished they had some more traditional Haitain cuisine to choose from. I love Haitian food!
Activites: We tried to head to Labadee beach Friday morning but found out it was open to the public on Saturday and Sunday only and we were heading out that Saturday.Maybe next time. We spent our time snorkeling off the beach and saw some small fish and sea urchins but nothing spectacular.
I would definitely return to this tropical paradise but instead fly directly to Cap Haitian and forgo that horrible 7 hour drive from Port-au-Prince. Still well worth the trip!
