I stayed in a nice B&B in Petit Valley on Morne Coco Road and it cost me $ 50.00 U.S. a day in 2016. I don’t know what kind of accommodation you would get for $22,17 and what kind of area that was.

Hi Angels, we stayed at accommodations secured through Airbnb.com and Booking.com. We were very happy with what we booked and would gladly return to any one of them again.
