Negril & Port Antonio

[lahoge]

We've been coming to Negril for the past 10 years or so and are planning on another trip this November. This time we'd like to split our time between Port Antonio and Negril. Any advice or suggestions on where to stay in PA? I've tried their forum, but it's basically defunct. We've been staying at White Sands in Negril and Love it! We'd like something comparable in size and $$ to that in Port Antonio. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

We are probably doing Port Antonio in the fall as well. I've wanted to go there for years. TONS of advice here.

Maybe we'll see you there!

If you enjoy White Sands...comparable would be Bayview Eco Resort in Port Antonio...it's one of our favs & for a funky place to stay, we like Great Huts which is located right on the water.
Nothing is really within walking distance...you'll need a car or regular driver. Many hotels are a long walk to the main road to catch a cab.

Make sure to check out Blue Lagoon, Reach Falls for adventure, Errol Flynn Marina is a nice visit, Boston Jerk (great jerk sausage) which is on the same road as Great Huts and Woody's for good burgers & great conversation.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it! I actually looked at both of those properties along with All Nations Guest House. It's always nice to get someone else's perspective! I'm a Negril addict, however my husband wants to do some coffee plantation/blue mountain tours.

you MUST visit port Antonio. I go back every year All nations guesthouse is amazing phenomenal hospitality and they just bought out their sister property as well beautiful landscape views and scenery. I have my go to local taxi Devon whose a safe driver. Been using him for 3 years. Just message me for any info needed on port Antonio. I’ve done nanny falls , non such falls reach falls as well as toured and stayed from long bay down to all nations. I really Have to do some trip reports. Food is also phenomenal visiting belindas after rafting rio Grande. I also Have a private taxi too (knows the area can provide tours for the day ) who has decent pricing as well if you’re not into Jamaican taxis (Devon will cater to you but his taxi is just the typical ones) just depends on your budget.
