Your trip sounds wonderful! My husband and I have been thinking of flying into Kingston, heading to Strawberry Hill and then to Port Antonio to see a different area of the island (we used to go to Negril, now we go to Treasure Beach). I don't want to rent a car so I guess we would have Strawberry Hill pick us up in Kingston and then figure out how to get to Port Antonio. Once there are taxis pretty easy to find to get around?
ooh, i think you guys will love that trip, and i highly recommend having strawberry hill collect you from the airport, since their drivers know the roads so well. they picked us up in a range rover, which is comforting compared to driving in a regular taxi car. from strawberry hill to port antonio, i'd recommend contacting one of the local portland parish drivers that folks here recommend (we've engaged warren mckenzie based on info i received on tripadvisor from folks who also post here). and yeah, once you hit port antonio taxis are easy to find. i figure we'll be taking route taxis from great huts to winnifred beach and port antonio town and asking warren to drive us one day to moore town and rio grande or swift river.Originally Posted by Rumghoul
have you been to strawberry hill? i loved it when i was there for my honeymoon. the hotel is a great combo of laid back and elegant, the air smells so good and the views are incredible. my husband kept thinking he was in haiti (irish town looks exactly like furcy, a mountain town directly north of port au prince). i'm really excited to hear what he thinks of port antonio. he got tired of people in negril (locals) asking him if he was a drug dealer. i'm pretty sure porty people will have more chill.
