Port Salut Beach House Bar & Grill The Port Salut Beach House Bar & Grill is a great refuge from which to visit the surrounding countryside and experience the real Haiti.

A former lodging establishment located right on the Caribbean Sea in Port Salut. It is now a defunct memory of a better and grander vision of Ayiti.

is a joint Haitian-American operation created to spur the nearly non-existent tourism industry in Haiti. Haiti, and Port Salut especially, once offered the international “jet-set” plenty of five star tourist destinations. After the American Occupation of Haiti (from 1915 - 1934), the relatively nearby tropical paradise beaconed tourists. Increasing political chaos, always a problem in Haiti, and grinding poverty, however, began to take a toll. Then, the brutal Duvalier dictatorship provided a stable political climate that allowed tourism in Haiti just like the rest of the Caribbean. However without the 30 year long regime’s iron fist, the burgeoning tourism industry in Haiti crumbled with the inevitable chaos that ensued. The Jimmy Buffett song, African Friend, echoes the dichotomy of danger and allure that was the Haiti of the era.
The ’Beach House is unique in all of Haiti (and largely, the Caribbean) in that it offers hostel-type accommodations - and does so at hostel prices. Throughout Haiti, and especially in the capital city of Port-au-Prince, Hotels offer less than standard quality and at higher prices than typical international tourist markets. And, there are no budget choices anywhere in Haiti for the “shoe-string” traveler. That is until the Port Salut Beach House Bar & Grill began offering safe and comfortable, Caribbean-style services to the adventurous few.
To see a “real” tourist in Haiti is indeed a treat. To be sure, there are plenty of foreigners in Haiti such as embassy staff and missionaries and UN personnel who frequent our establishment. But, those who come to Haiti to experience Haiti are exceedingly rare and precious. Voodoo is by far the attraction to this special place, however, Haiti offers the same sunshine, sand, and sea that its neighbor the Dominican Republic offers without the crime of, say, the popular Caribbean destination of Jamaica.
A holiday to Haiti and the Port Salut Beach House Bar & Grill will be a life-changing experience with wonderful memories you will not soon forget! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is Creole cuisine at its finest! And the well equipped bar offers Caribbean breezes and lovely views of the beautiful Pointe Sable Beach.
Not so incidentally, all of the profits from your visit stay in Haiti for Haitians. This is surely not the case with any of these other Caribbean tourist options. So, you can feel good about that. The tourism industry is perhaps the best and only path to eventual economic prosperity for Haiti.
Thanks for your business.

The Port Salut Beach House Bar & Grill
is a great refuge from which to visit the surrounding countryside and experience the real Haiti. The place was built into the existing dynamic. There was a thatch roof hut initially on the site that was soon transformed into a gangway with “gingerbread”-type, peaked, tin ceilings, leading into several of the hostel rooms as well as the “big house” and up to the bar and grill on the rooftop. The bar and grill has very high arched ceilings covered in local palm fronds. The bar, itself was made from the smooth, white stones indigenous to the Port Salut area. Eons of waves crashing these white stones against the shore have produced the beaches’ famed white sands. In fact, the entire “big house” structure is made of these local white rocks, 40 inches thick. The entire property is situated literally inches from the crystal clear Caribbean Sea. .....(---from the old website)

Time wastes too fast… the days and hours of it… are flying over our heads like little clouds on a windy day, never to return more – everything presses on – whilst thou art twisting the lock, - see! it grows grey… and every time I kiss thy hand to bid adieu, and every absence which follows it, are preludes to that eternal separation which we are shortly to make!” ― The Life And Opinions of Tristram Shandy

Our Story

PSBHBG is a small 5 room joint perched on a rock ledge overlooking the crisp Caribbean sea, which you can fall right into directly from the back yard of the beach house and swim for hours in its buoyant waters. All rooms have plenty of lighting when the thick wooden shuttered windows are swung open and a touch of Haiti painted or hung somewhere on the walls, as well as mosquito netting, which wasn’t needed during our stay. The place is clean and bathroom amenities are surprisingly functioning. The upstairs dining room, bar and hammock haven is perfectly laid out with a high thatched roof, plenty of breeze and 180 degree views. You can spend most of your day on the top floor and never feel guilty about not having gone to the beach. As for the food, well the toughest part is choosing between large fish yellow tail snapper or lobster which were certainly caught that morning or even better that afternoon. And the preparation is a pleasant surprise of Haitian spice. The white sandy beach covered in coconut trees is just a 5 minute walk down the road past the pleasant homes and smiles of the Haitian fishing families that still live her. And for the “overly ambitious”, this is a lazy beach atmosphere, there are 2 beautiful cascades just a few minutes hike outside of town. The staff, though just learning the trade is kind, courteous and on the ball. Anything we asked for we received.
