Re: Trip help! September reach :)
Hi Vacationlovaa! Going back to Portland???? SWEET!!! I’m excited and jealous LOL. According to your accommodation wish list, these are my suggestions in order of preference. Sea Cliff, Pimento Lodge, Villa Rasta, Goblin Hill @ San San.
Sea Cliff (starting at $125/nite) is a ways out of town (about 25 minutes from downtown Port Antonio). Personally that’s the only inconvenience and a minor one at that. The units are not overly decorated, but immaculate with gorgeous, comfortable beds. The views from the upstairs units are breathtaking. I liked how those units are so private and secure; I wouldn’t hesitate to sleep with the verandah door opened all night. Which I will get do come October. The grounds are spacious and beautiful. Restaurant and bar are on the property. Daily breakfast is included. The people who deem it "boring" probably didn't have pre-arranged drivers/transportation and were stuck at the property. You won't have that problem. Like you said, you can book your excursions that go in that direction…Reach Falls…Under the Rock beach…Reggae Falls… Oh and ask for Mr. Hanna and mention me. You might get a special rate...who knows. He's a lovely man.
Pimento Lodge (starting at $125/nite) Located in Long Bay, about 25 minutes from downtown. These immaculate, romantic AC units are located in a stunning garden setting. Beautiful pool on the property along with a restaurant and bar. The only inconvenience is it’s about ¼ mile up a lane. It’s an easy walk down, but I would NEED a ride going up. I would stay there also, but this is the kind of place where I would miss being a couple. Not something you want to experience alone.
Villa Rasta (starting at $60/nite) also located in Long Bay, about 25 minutes from downtown. Easy access to route taxis. These are cute bungalows on a hill, located directly across the street from Long Bay Beach. The owner, Bigga, is a sweetheart of a host/owner and excellent chef. Not sure if you want to go that rustic, but worth checking it out.
Goblin Hill @ San San. (starting at $160/nite) Gorgeous facility with eye-dropping views. Fantastic reviews. Located about 15 minutes from downtown. Easy access to route taxis. I put this on my list because a friend stayed there and raved about it. I plan to check it out this summer.
Devon will take you anywhere, as you already experienced. Just call him ahead of time and let him know your plans.
Michael is still driving his ice-mobile faithfully. He won’t have a problem with the Long Bay route either.
