Wellness travel tips
Get the most from your wellness experience.
Book spa treatments at least one day in advance — hotel spas have limited staff and appointments fill quickly
Drink bottled water before and after all spa treatments — tap water is not safe
The best wellness experience in Haiti is often simply relaxing at a secure beach resort with good food and a hammock — embrace the Caribbean pace
Bring your own wellness products from home as quality varies — especially sunscreen, insect repellent, and any medications
Hotel pools at Montana, Marriott, and Karibe offer day passes for non-guests — a great affordable wellness option
Morning yoga or exercise is safest done within hotel grounds or secure resort areas
