Haiti Tourism - New Resort in Labadee Haiti

Did you know that there is more to do in Labadee, Haiti besides the cruiseship? Yes, you can cruise with Royal Carribean or you can vacation directly in Labadee (Labadie) at Marquis Paradise. The resort is known for its sunset boat rides and honeymoon packages NBC6.com/honeymoon. The nearest town and city to Labadee is Milot and Cap-Haïtien. The city of Cap-Haïtien is known as the Paris of the Antilles.

Cap-Haïtien is Haiti's largest center of historic monuments. It is an unspoiled tourist destination. The calm water of the bay, picturesque Caribbean beaches and monuments have made it a resort and vacation destination for Haiti's upper classes, comparable to Pétion-Ville. Cap‑Haïtien has consistently attracted more international tourists, as it has been isolated from the political instability in the south of the island.

It has a wealth of French colonial architecture, which has been well preserved. During and after the Haitian Revolution, many craftsmen from Cap‑Haïtien, who were free people of color, fled to French-controlled New Orleans as they were under attack by the mostly African slaves. As a result, the two cities share many similarities in styles of architecture. Especially notable are the gingerbread houses lining the city's older streets. When you visit Labadee, do not forget to explore Cormier Beach, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Citadel, and the Heros de Vertiere.
