How far is it, how would I get there and what would the cost be? Also, are there any hotels there?

Labate, Haiti from Cabarete?
There's a bus (kind of a Caribe Tours) from Santiago to Cap Haitien, here are the details:
Isla Instituto Genao Perez #17 Rinc?n Largo Santiago
30US$
829-660-6942
It runs twice a week.
Once in Labadie, you can stay at Norman's place (Norman is an american... he's there since 30 years...)
Or Cormier Plage (Jean-Claude used to be a diver with Cousteau...)
Labadie is truly beautiful, don't miss it !!!

Yes, Labadie, I am sorry. What days of the week do those busses go? the people I am meeting are only coming for the day!
It's pretty much the same... Labadie is the Haitian village, and Labadee is the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines stop-over... Both are in the same bay...
Cormier Plage is said to be a pleasant hotel the bay next to Labadie Bay. Cap-Haitien is only 10 mile/45 min by 4x4 away, there Mont Jolie is a nice hotel.
You can only enter the Labadee beach and complex on days when there are no Royal Caribbean cruise ships there. Labadee complex is impressive, but the beach is nothing special. The surrounding Labadie bay, and adjacent bays are incredibly beautiful though.
You can only enter Labadie village by boat, and perhaps a trek on foot through the mountains.
For buses from Santo Domingo to Port-au-Prince (Petionville actually) you can contact Caribe Tours or Terra Bus. I'm sure there are numbers somewhere on the forum if you do a search. If there are any direct buses going to Jacmel from the DR, which I doubt very much, they would go via Port-au-Prince anyway.
