Jacmel is a beautiful place. This hotel was full of very warm and helpful staff. The history was in the walls, it’s a very nice hotel. I stayed all 14 days and I enjoyed my stay. WiFi was faster during morning.

During my stay, I only had internet access the first night I arrived. That same night, I was unable to communicate with anyone, which caused my friends and family to panic, thinking something had happened to me. When I asked the staff what was wrong with the internet, I received vague and inconsistent explanations.

By the second night, I was determined to let my friends and family know I was safe. I asked the front desk if they could help me make a local call, but I was told it could only be Digicel numbers, not Natcom. Even then, they were unable to get through. Eventually, a gentleman kindly connected my phone to his private internet service so I could communicate, and I had to pay him for that access.

I do not recommend this place to anyone who needs reliable internet service. The place itself is not bad, but the internet service is extremely poor.

The hotel is beautiful, and typically has great amenities. Hotels are struggling to offer menus and 24/7 electricity in Haiti due to the insecurity and political turmoil. But this is my favorite hotel in Jacmel!!

Restaurant service was terrible. Several times we waited more than an hour after we ordered to get our food. Many items on the menu were not available. A beautiful location but no other restaurants are close. We were told a taxi would cost $40US each way. Can’t recommend.

Customer service is excellent.
The hotel is positioned right in front of the beach, as a result, the views are amazing.
The room need some updating and the bathroom can be cleaner.
They had entertainment on new year eve. Food and drinks are very good.

A decent hotel with an amazing staff

The staff were amazing. The hotel need some upgrades. They don’t have a gym and no direct access to the beach. The view and the staff make up for what the hotel is lacking. So I was pleased with my stay.

Cap Lamondou is an okay hotel for Jacmel, Haiti. The hotel has some of the best views. The staff are really nice people. However, the actual building is rundown. The generator runs all night just in case you desire sleep. There was no hot water.

Needs more attention to details

First off, the hotel is cute and comfy. Tge staff are ok and polite. The rooms a big, and new mattress.

But the hotel needs a full coat of paint! Access to the beach is a good walk down in dirty stair, with leaf and branches. The beach is full of garbage locals left there, and it's rocky beach.

As for the pictures with the 12 long chairs, well only 2 brokens one left. The breakfast lady making pancakes, she is not there, not for the 7 days we were there. Breakfast is scramble eggs and few other things, that's all. Lunch are ok, few thing are out of, and they do not resupply. The dinner main meals are really good.

Room 103-104, 203-204, 303-304 are near the noisy generators, so in the middle of the night, they will wake you up.

But the place is clean, a/c works well and the mattress are comfy, the food was ok to good and the view is amazing.

The hotel was nice. Service was excellent. The only drawback; we had to drive about twenty-five minutes east of the city to go to beach at Raymond Les Bains in Cayes Jacmel, because the beach behind the hotel is not too appealing.

The hotel could be better

A maintenance program should exist in order to remove stuffs that are no longer useful and repair where is needed. Lack of paints in the rooms there is too much in Jacmel for having a hotel room without paints.

Great stay, would stay again

By Haiti standards, this hotel had about everything I needed: air conditioning, no mosquitoes in rooms, hot water for the shower, delicious complimentary breakfast, and approximately one English channel that I watched some Aliens on. One main thing that could have been improved sad the reliability of the Internet--it didn't work for me at first, but luckily spoke with an employee who reset the router for me, and then it worked. Was occasionally available from room, but I couldn't rely on it.

The view from my room was incredible and jaw dropping. Took a dip in the pool, too.

Pleasant and very nice hotel with good food

One day stay. Present security, pleasant and nice receptionists. Good food, nice prices. Agreeable staff that was service minded. The room was very nice. The safe was out of order and useless. 3 TV channels is not really much to have a TV up for. Free WiFi in the room makes up for some of that.

Excellent hotel and pristine locaton

The Hotel is on the outskirt of the Caribbean Sea and the location is beyond what Haiti has to offer. Many people wouldn't believe that pictures I took there are really from Haiti. The wonderful morning sun and the dawn hours took my breath away and I cant wait to take my entire family to this place. It there is one word to describe the experience it would be: \"WOW\".

The streets could be paved before getting into the hotel. For the price payed, the construction should be up to par. Great customer service but no entertainment at all. No music by the bar and place was completely dead. The view was just breathtakingly beautiful. The setting is very nice overall. Food was great. Great customer service and would definitely recommend it.

Great View, Good Food

The view was beautiful, the pool was nice but had way too much chlorine! The food was good but the service was slow and some things took so long that we eventually just gave up (drinks one night and extra pool towels) Room was comfortable but advertised satellite tv. In reality it was only 1 working channel. Overall the stay was pleasant and we will be going back.

Great hotel, poor service

If you want a hotel that is well located, Cap Lamandou is good. The view from the terrace is spectacular. There are stairs that go directly down to the beach although you must be in shape to climb them back up. Room was fine, nothing impressive. Food was good and very affordable compared to other hotels we visited in Haiti. The staff is not very enthusiastic or friendly. Overall, I would recommend it.

Beautiful Jacmel on the Beach.

No running water in our rooms the morning of the marathon race. Occasional power blackouts. No mosquito nets on the beds. The windows did not seal tight and insects could enter. Armed guards protecting the entrance to the hotel property. The food was good and safe.

Please check out Cap Lamandou; you'll love it

Cap Lamandou has a breath taking view of Jacmel Bay from a cliff, reminding me of the French Riviera. The rooms were clean. The architecture was modern and tropical. The space was well maintained; the pool inviting. For a relatively small town in a country with limited resources, Cap Lamandou settings exceeded all my expectations. The price was reasonable and the beach 200 feet away. The last quarter mile of road leading to the hotel was however disappointingly not in shape and should be addressed.

Hôtel très bien placé, calme et agréable !

Très bon hôtel. Un + pour le calme, la tranquillité et l'amabilité du personnel qui est correcte, ce qui est une bonne surprise pour Haïti. La vue est superbe sur la baie de Jacmel et la mer des Caraïbes. Un petit bémol : les peintures s'écaillent, la butte en contrebas de la cuisine sert de dépotoir et quelques fils traînent dans une piscine pas toujours très propre au fond. Mais cela ne vient pas du tout gâcher le séjour.
