      I won’t go to any of these compounds of opulence in a third world hell. Wonderful people being severely oppressed and in extreme poverty. I am sure that any profit gotten by this compound benefits the average citizen about .00001%. I prefer neighboring Dominican Republic. Where you can actually experience the country and it’s true beauty and people without a compound of make believe opulence.

I feel for the people that are beautiful and just trying to barely survive. You are seeing an isolated compound of a make believe paradise in the video. And it benefits the privileged and corrupt “officials”. And a handful of people that work there for very little.

    These are the tourist areas. Most of Haiti is in major turmoil with gang wars and survival. All of the trash from these tourist places literally cover many areas. The capital has some of the highest kidnappings in all of Haiti. The G-PEP and G9 have checkpoints all over the island, but sure there are $4000 night rooms in the tourist areas. It’s just like Jamaica and many places on the coast of Mexico. Money needs invested into people. Literally the average wage is $3.50 USD daily. The money you spent does not go to the people of Haiti. Most Haitians can’t afford to eat that steak. It’s beautiful there just like many many many places that are in desperation.
