Is there anyone on the list who has spent time in Les Cayes? I would like to know what it's like to live there, housing availability and cost, etc. Thanks for any information someone can send my way.

I have never been there but i hear mostly good things compared to PAP or Okap. it is a small city and i have been told it is often boring wth little to do but some activity like a few small disco techs with live music and DJs, bars and a few restaurants. there are large carnivals several times a year. I heard it is rather peaceful and the crime rate is lower than most areas and there is little violence.
I am sure you can find many fun things to do if you look for them and are creative. as far as cost it should be like okap.
I may be wrong but i know for sure it is cheaper than PAP. in OKAP you can find a good apartment with current and running water for around 350 US. yo ucan even find decent places cheaper than that but a place that you pay 350 at may even provide you with drinking water but i am sure you could find a good place for 200 but you need to look and not let people take you for a ride people will do all they can to over charge you and there are many people that will do all they can to remove yo from your money...dont let them.
food is cheap if you go to the local market and produce is very cheap a single person could eat well on less than 150 even 80-100 dollars us 7-800 haitian dollars /4 thousand gourdes the grocery stores are more expensive but you will not have to deal with hard sells and people ripping you off or causing trouble for you. taxi fare is 25 gourdes/5 haitian dollars for a ride in town across town it goes up 50 gourdes and triple the distance 100 and goes up like that tap taps are 5 gourdes in town thats like 2 cents restaurants are often cheap depending on where you go.you can get a plate of beans and rice for 50 gourdes and add chicken or meat 100 gourdes but i suggest you eat in nice restaurants. basic medical care is cheap ect ect

dave6 - Thanks for the info! Since I am more into walking the beach and enjoying nature than I am into going to clubs, this sounds great to me!
