Ground transportation at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) in Port-au-Prince can be difficult to arrange last minute. But it’s easy to get to the hotel from the airport via Decameron Explorer ground transportation if you book in advance. Details from the hotel follow:

“Clients should book their air into PAP which is the Port-au-Prince main international airport that is serviced daily from the US by American Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Delta Airlines and JetBlue. It is suggested that you pre-book your ground transportation to the hotel as ground transportation if left until you arrive Haiti is difficult and therefore it is easier if this is prebooked. Transfers in shared vehicle between the Port-Au-Prince International Toussaint Louverture Airport and the Royal Decameron Indigo at a per person rate of US$75 (round trip). Transfers must be pre-booked by emailing the flight information to: transfers.haiti@decameron.com. A transfer confirmation will be sent by email, as well as payment details. Please carry a printed copy of the transfer confirmation email with you upon arrival in Haiti. Upon exiting the customs area of the Port-Au-Prince International Toussaint Louverture Airport, you will be met by a Decameron Explorer representative and directed to the transfer vehicle. The ride from the Port-Au-Prince International Toussaint Louverture Airport to the Royal Decameron Indigo takes approximately 90 minutes. All passengers must reconfirm the departure transfer 48 hours prior to their scheduled departure, at the Decameron Explorer Counter in the Hotel Lobby. Payment for the ground transportation can be paid directly to the hotel upon your check-in.”

Cote des Arcadins, Haiti: Untouched Beaches on West Coast of Hispaniola

The up-and-coming resort area known as Cote des Arcadins lies on the Haitian side of Hispaniola Island. Here you’ll find the turquoise waters and long stretches of white sand the Caribbean region is known for, but much smaller crowds than in the neighboring Dominican Republic, where the tourism industry is more firmly rooted. Conditions are prime for beachcombing, snorkeling, swimming, and lounging in the sun. On inland excursions, you can trek to waterfalls and learn about Haiti’s history and cultural traditions. The capital city, Port-au-Prince, is about an hour’s drive away.
