Hi JamSun, Port Antonio is my perfered Jamaica destination. I love everything about it including the ride to get there. When are you planning to go?

Hi, Vi: Would like to go in January and February 2014. Any suggestions for a very reasonable place to stay for 2 adults young sixties.
Close to beaches, possibly a studio with kitchenette.Also within walking distance so we won't need a car.

Greetings JamSun,

I'll be there in a few weeks and would be happy to take pictures of your points of intrest if you have any. I thought I had the perfect place to suggest for you. The house, located in Fairy Hill, is beautiful and very affordable, however the drive way,although not a long one, it is rediculously steep. Match Resort has a studio unit and a lovely pool. If you talk to Mr. Harris, I'm sure he would give you a special long term rate. It's closer to town, but I know an excellent red plate driver who will also give you a good rate when you want to go to the beach. Another obtion is the one bedroom villa at Fern Hill. There is a pool there...however a car or driver is a must. Those are the places with cooking facilities that I know about. They are all VERY reasonable, however have conditions as I stated.

Since you aren't going until the winter, I can spy out more options for you and get them to you when I return.

Jamsun,

In addition to what Vi has mention I would add Ivanhoe - guest house in town, Ms. Burke is a wonderful host, check reviews on tripadvisor.com. There is a unit with a kitchen, if I remember correctly but it doesn't have a/c. She has two a/c rooms on the top floor but no kitchen, you are however able to use the fridge in the main area and she provides breakfast for a small fee. It's a great location with easy access to taxis and things in town and very reasonable.

Hotel Tim Bamboo is another option in town and has a suite with a/c and a full kitchen and priced pretty well.

Tropical Lagoon is a very nice property and has a few units with a kitchen but it's a little more expensive than others mentioned here.
