Jacmel (Jakmèl in Kréyòl) is a city in southern Haiti founded in 1698, it is the capital of the department of the Southeast. Jacmel is a quiet city but full of charm situated on Horseshoe Bay. Its population is estimated at 15,000. The city has not changed much sinced the late 19th century when this charming port city was home of wealthy coffee merchants living in gracious mansions influenced by the New Orleans Style; the architecture of the city boasted cast iron pillars and balconies purchased in France. Today, many of these homes are now artisan shops that sell vibrant handicrafts, papier-mache masks and carved-woods animal figures. In recent years, efforts have been made to revitalize the once flourishing cigar and coffee industries

Answer 2

It entirelly depends on whether you want to do the all-inclusive, gated compound, meals on their scheduale, bars,casinos,swimming pools,discos etc on SOMEONE ELSE'S whim, or perhaps you actually want to see a truly different culture, warts and all, and truly learn not only new food, lingo, and how to scuba-dive in the treacherous swimming pool.
Haiti is a place I think all of us can learn from. The value of literacy,education,justice,freedom, and most of all perseverance.
Haiti does have cool beaches, especially Cap Haitien, and Gonaives, and one heck of an exchange rate.
I lived next door in the D.R. for 14 years, and had at least a dozen occasions to visit Haiti.
To a casual tourist... NO WAY, you'd be scared shitless, and to those adventurous types, be careful, be open-minded, and never flash $, the people aren't thieves, just desperate.

Answer 3

It's really a chance to see something different, to get out of your comfort zone. It can be scary, yes. But I think I learned more about myself in my short time there than in years normally. The weather and beaches are nice. I really like the food. The people are amazing. If you are going to go, go with a missionary/humanitarian group. Don't go by yourself, go with someone familiar with the area.

Answer 4

Caribbean island, so the weather is nice, blue water. but i prefer Jamaica because it's beautiful and the people are extremely friendly.
