Haiti is going to get an Autograph Collection property in 2017.
"Autograph Collection Hotels will add The Habitation Jouissant – a boutique hotel located in Cap Haitien, Haiti – in the fourth quarter of 2017. The property, located in Haiti’s second largest city and situated on the country’s northern coast, will be Autograph Collection’s third hotel in the Caribbean and will proudly serve as Marriott International’s second property in Haiti."
Cheers. Sharon

It would really be nice if Marriott would pick up Habitation Le Clerc in Port au Prince. Now, that was a fine deluxe hotel in the day and not downtown in the slum. It was not on the beach but was a huge property, an oasis really, as you did not see outside the hotel grounds due to all the foliage. Mr. Karen2 and I honeymooned there but, from what I read, you can never go back. Haiti saddens us as it has so much potential.

I'm staying there this weekend. Anyone have any recent feedback? I saw some reports on another website that service has gone down (dirty pool and rooms). I'm staying there this weekend. Hope to explore a bit of the neighborhood.
Airport transfers are now $45 each way. Seems steep but probably the safest option.

The hotel itself is very modern and safe. No metal detectors or anything. However, there was a security presence on the property to be sure.

I ended up staying there in 2017 -- so not super recently.

I stayed for three nights recently. Staff were friendly and service was good, almost all staff speak a high level of English. The breakfast was just fine and included with the room rate. I don't expect much from having Gold status but was surprised that nothing came of it here, as the hotel is mostly empty due to the current situation in Haiti. The restaurant is pretty standard for Port-au-Prince, a mix of some Haitian dishes (griot, lamb, etc.), some seafood, and then a smattering of pizzas and pastas. Alcohol is quite expensive compared to other restaurants in the PAP area.
I can't speak to transport from the airport as I currently live in Haiti. As for the security, it felt fairly secure, although I didn't explore the neighbourhood on foot, and I have my own transport here so I can't speak to whatever transport the hotel might provide. Overall the only realistic choices for big Western-style hotels here are the Marriott, Karibe, and Montana, and I definitely preferred this to Karibe. Can't speak to Montana.
