Laundry
Laundry service is available for $7 (plastic shopping bag size). As we try to keep laundry to a minimum, bedding is changed weekly. Towels are changed regularly as are bathroom towels and mats.
Entertainment
Although Haiti is relatively safe, it is not encouraged to go out unless it is an organized event arranged by someone you know in Haiti. At the First Fruit guest house, evening entertainment consists of games, reading and friendly and stimulating conversation with other guests. We encourage you to bring your favorite books and games for entertainment.

Money
- The Haitian currency is the Haitian Gourde. The rate to USD changes regularly, but most purchases can be made in USD. If during your travel you require local currency, exchanges from USD to gourde can be done at a local grocery store.
- It is not advisable to depend on banking machines for cash; they are limited. If you wish a safe place for your cash, documents or valuables, the guest house has a safe. Please speak to the manager.
- Tipping individual staff at the guest house is not advisable. We work as a team, and if you wish to tip (and it is of course, greatly appreciated) please give it to the manager who will ensure equal distribution. If staff members approach you asking for money, please report it to the manager immediately.
