Hi Jitters,
Yes, I know it is. As a matter of fact, I no longer like staying in Port Antonio proper (at least at the lower priced places I have used). As I think I told you, I was once robbed by a break in just off the main street. When I go now, I stay outside of town. I think that is a good recommendation for people who have never visited Port Antonio before.
I love the area. Just my personal opinion.
Peace and Guidance
