From the sound of your last post, I do believe Sea Cliff will be a fit for you and your boyfriend. It’s an easy flat access to the main road whereas you have to walk up a lane to the others places I listed. Yes you are guaranteed amazing views. Besides the garden grounds and the majestic Caribbean Sea you’ll also have the John Crow Mountains to visually delight in from the units and the bar. Oh and those gazebos scream relaxation. Now I don’t know about you, but I prefer a kitchen or at least a mini fridge. None of the units at Sea Cliff has either. But I’m sure you can get ice. I’ll be starting the next part to my trip report next week when I go into more detail about Sea Cliff.

The route of the bike excursion is beautiful. It’s a very organized and educational experience and at 25, it will be a breeze for you. The route from Long Bay is through Port Antonio then on to Buff Bay heading south/west from there. If I remember correctly, it took almost 2 hours to get there from Port Antonio. Also, research excursions hiking the John Crow Mountains which are closer to the Long Bay area.

As many times as I’ve been to Portland, I still pre-plan what I’m going to do day-to-day so I think you’re making a good decision to do the same. That’s because there is sooooo much to explore and it takes time getting to some of these locations. THEN once you’re there, you don’t want to leave right away. I’ll be happy to answer your questions to the best of my ability. Besides, I want to make sure you have PLENTY to write about in that report
