probably going to be pricey...best bet is a house on the water...
there are a variety of properties at a reasonable rate . . . depending where you want to stay . . . price point?
Demontevin Lodge right near the center of town seemed really nice and in hindsight I wish we would have stayed there. We toured it and it's a historical property run as sort of a B&B 3 years ago the price was $79 US. It doesn't have AC. We ended up staying at the Jamaica Palace which is a beautiful property closer to The Blue Lagoon, and Frenchman's Reef. Much pricier at $175 per night.
Just had a close friend return from a stay at Hotel Jamaican Colors http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Rev...h_Jamaica.html
Nice pool, nice view, quiet and a bargain at @ $70-$75 US per night including the taxes.
Hope this helps.

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.

In 2001 we stayed at Goblin Hill Villas outside of town. A short walk to Frenchman's cove (beach) and the Blue Lagoon.
At that time there was not a large taxi network as in Negril. We felt that without a car we were somewhat isolated.
The villa came with a cook...a very good one at that.
Checked Trip Advisor and they are still in operation.

The Pool:
The Blue Lagoon:
Frenchman's Cove:
Tim Bamboo and Ivanhoe Guest House are both in town and good options. I have stayed at Ivanhoe and toured Tim Bamboo, both are priced well with Ivanhoe probably a little cheaper.
Match Resort - Dolphin Bay area(have toured)
Bayview Villa Anchovey area (have stayed)
I posted reviews on tripadvisor for the properties I have stayed at and have photos there as well.
There are a few guest houses in the area as well some even with a/c if interested let me know and I will post phone numbers as there is no website etc
Love Portland any questions let me know.
I think Fern Hill is still closed or I'd suggest that.
Needing a pool narrows it down a bit - Goblin on the higher end, Jamaican Colors I have also heard good things about.
Air BnB has a few places with a pool, one very inexpensive 15 mins from PA, the others more $ (Mockingbird Hill, for instance)
