Latest info (9/28/03): We have recently received a call from Voyages Lumiere, the tour operator, who has informed us of the following: Since many dignitaries will be in Port-au-Prince on the same day as our tour, we have decided to stay at El Rancho hotel instead of Villa Creole in order to spare us the inconvenience of having to go through extensive security checks every time we enter and leave the hotel. It appears that the president of South Africa might be staying at Villa Creole on the same night we had booked. El Rancho is actually a very comparable Hotel (most people say it is nicer) and is in the same immediate area. The tour price will not change.
