🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Jacmel market zone (Marche de Jacmel) → Hotel de Jacamelienne
💡 Flag down any brightly painted pickup truck heading toward Rue du Commerce. Tell the driver 'otèl Jakamelien' – they’ll drop you near the gate. Keep small change ready.
Port-au-Prince bus terminal (near Marche de la Croix-des-Bossales) → Jacmel bus station (Route de la Montagne)
💡 Sit on the left side for ocean views after Leogane. Expect a dusty, bumpy ride – bring a scarf for your mouth and nose. From Jacmel station, it's a 10-minute walk or 50 gourde moto-taxi to the hotel.
Jacmel city centre (Place de la Liberation) → Hotel de Jacamelienne
💡 Haggle before riding – 50 gourdes is fair for one person. Hold on tight; drivers weave through potholes. Ask for a helmet; they often have one under the seat.
