Nice respite from the heat, interesting art pieces in the heart of a street filled with beautiful architecture. The food was extremely slow, probably took over an hour to reach us because they had to buy the ingredients from the market first. But the food was extremely delicious (had some pizza, chicken in sauce, salad, and plantains ) and the servers were very patient and nice to our team. Would come again in Jacmel (maybe I would take a nap while waiting for food though!)

My friends and I came here after Bassin-Bleu and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We had paella, lambi, and club sandwiches between the four of us and everyone was satisfied with their choice. The food took a little while, but not out of the normal time you would expect. Until it arrived we walked around the hotel grounds and enjoyed the beautiful views. Once our meal was served we all agreed that the food was delicious and flavorful and we had some yummy ice cream and coffee afterwards. Our portions were large, so we were even able to take home leftovers. Definitely a treat!

This place is sketchy and inconsistent. Power was intermittent and they had manifestations in street that created security risks.
