My disappointment started on the warf when they picked us up on a tiny boat than that was featured online. It was nerve wracking to board the boat and I did not want to cross the ocean in this tiny vessel since there were a lot of big waves. We were soaking-wet when we arrived 30 min. later at the resort. It is not worth the cost.
At the resort, I was given a different room then what I reserved which was not a big deal but the toilet seat in that room was old and rusty. It looked dirty because it was so old. They changed the toilet but did not change the seat; the seat was too small for the new toilet. I asked to be moved to my reserved room which took them 55 minutes to do although there were only 3 couples at the resort. The second room was nice and comfortable.I asked for a wash-cloth on two different occasions that I never received.
You can’t relax at the beautiful beach on the broken beach chair with missing cushions without being bitten by mosquitos. The resort is infested with mosquitos. They use a commercial fan in the dining area to keep the mosquitos away instead of treating for infestation. When I asked at dinner to treat my room for mosquitos, I was told I had to wait until tomorrow morning. That was another sleepless night for me.
Abaka Bay is in need of repair. The featured pictures are not current representation of Abaka Bay. Having said that, I missed the the polite wait staff who did their best everyday to keep our stomach full.

We are sorry that you got wet while crossing the sea, unfortunately when there are large waves that is beyond our control. We are happy you enjoyed the service from the wait staff and the beauty of the beach. We are also happy you enjoyed your room. We are revamping certain things so thank you for bringing those things to our attention. As for mosquitos if it rains alot there will be some but not always. We do treat the area but we use things that are not harmful to the environment. We are sorry to read that you were not completely satisfied. We have taken all this into consideration so that your next stay will be perfect.

Breathtaking Beach...
Posted 3 Mar 2018Abaka Bay is truly one of the most gorgeous beaches I’ve seen. The cottages are lovely and the one minor problem we had (a toilet that stopped flushing at one point) was very quickly resolved. My only complaints were about the food, which was bland to the point of being almost unbeatable- which is shocking given the delicious Haitian food I’ve had over the years! I suspect they may be attempting to tone down Haitian spice for foreign tongues, but AB would do much better to allow for authentic cuisine. Given the soul filling loveliness of the resort I rate this as a minor complaint.

Hidden Paradise
Posted 17 Dec 2017
Pros: What I like the most, there was no phone or television in the room complete relaxation without all the disturbance of the modern world.
Cons: Use a bigger boat when the sea is not so calm, a small one it's scary for some people.
Location: It's a walk in the nature, no cars to pollute the environment, horse back riding, snorkel,complete relaxation , long dinner under the veranda.
Getting to the resort could be a challenge, however after you collected your senses, and your expectations are just begin to materialize,and your worries are things of the past,now you wonder it's real or fiction.
The sandy beach , the deep blue warm water, the sound of the waves crashing you think you are in paradise .

I didn't want to leave!
Posted 15 Dec 2017 on HotelsI can't wait to go back! Beautiful beach, lovely room with comfy king bed, kind and helpful staff that treated us like royalty, delicious Haitian food and fresh seafood, kayaking, amazing walks, swimming in the warm turquoise sea, gorgeous sunsets... I can't say enough good things about Abaka Bay. They made us feel like family. I highly recommend this gem of a resort! We stayed ten days, but I wish it could have been longer...

Poor Value in very lovely setting
Posted 5 Nov 2017
Pros: The beach, pretty setting, the possibility
Cons: At the dock have a sign that helps people find the boat.Write down the request,coffee,food,fruit juice, &h2o Either offer services or lower the price.
Location: We were given a ridiculous price to get a tour of the island, we went for our own walk. We met some locals who were very friendly.
So much to offer, yet at every turn this "resort" falls short. Starting with the minimal greeting at the dock, where if we had not walked up to and inquired we would not have found the boat to cross from Les Cayes to Isle a Vache. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted, told we were the only guests, and offered a drink, introduced to the property and then found that our room request had not be forwarded to the staff.
I requested a cup of coffee as we had been travelling since early morning, it never came.
The room was adequate, except that the shower drain was open to below allowing insects and mosquitoes inside.
We went for lunch, found our table next to a pole blocking the view of the beach area, we moved to a table with a better view. Chicken drumsticks and fish steaks, average at best. Asked what we would like to drink I requested fruit juice, since I do not drink Sodas. Later I was given a bill for the fruit juice, this was to be the first of many additional fees, that for 22 hours seemed excessive.
Upon arrival we were told that the choices for dinner would include, lobster, shrimp, fish. goat, lambi, and chicken. We requested lobster and goat. Lobster not available, shrimp either. We ordered the lambi and the goat. Only the Goat was served. At breakfast the same with the eggs. Why serve a buffet for two people? When I requested an additional bottle of water i was told that it was in the room, the 1 bottle per person.
Sadly disappointing excursion,

We are happy that you appreciated the setting, the beach, the warm service, your welcome drink and the beauty of the island. We are also glad that you enjoyed your free upgrade. We are sorry that your trip did not meet all your expectations. We are not an all inclusive hotel and do not advertise as such. Anything ordered separately is additional although we do offer 3 complimentary buffet meals that includes juice with breakfast and soda with lunch. Sorry that things were not clearer at the wharf in the port city. We have noted all your suggestions and thank you for your review. Please note that we do offer a complimentary guide for a tour of the local village as well as complimentary kayaks, games and complimentary horseback riding,
