It is more like staying in someone’s home than in a hotel and the lovely lady who runs it is utterly charming. There is the occasional wedding party and I’m sure no one would notice if you joined them on the porch for the buffet. The food is out of this world.

The hotel is not in Port au Prince but up the hill in the cooler and more calm Petionville. It is a short walk from the main square so you can easily take public transportation and walk up to Kalewes. There are taxis available if you don’t want to walk.

The lovely courtyard is so peaceful. You feel like you are in another world. You can walk down into Petionville for the shopping and restaurants but when you enter the Villa Kalewes, you are in a cocoon of quiet. It’s a lovely place to rest and recuperate.

There are easy trips to Kenskoff, Bouteille, Fermathe and the Barbancourt Rum Factory from Kalewes. The price is between $20-$40. That is less expensive than average.
