Three Places to Visit in Haiti.

Labadee, It is a private resort leased to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. The resort is completely tourist-oriented, and is guarded by a private security force. Although most people describe it as an island Labadee is actually a peninsula contiguous with the island of Hispaniola.

Sans-Souci Palace, The Neves Palace
(New Palace) was constructed to commemorate the end of the 7 Years war. The king unfortunately was only allowed to enjoy the waterworks of the palace once before his death. The waterworks of the palace didn't work correctly until the 19th century.

Citadelle Laferriere, most of the offensive and defensive materials and weapons that were used during the colonization era are still present in the area. Renting a horse is advised so that people can take quality pictures and record movies without being tired of going up and down in between spots and places. Walking is not a good option since the citadel is an uphill spot.
