Holiday Home

Port Antonio


This charming gingerbread-style home on Titchfield Hill is a great, quiet retreat. Rooms vary widely in size, from compact to positively spacious, but take care when choosing: some of the rooms have thin wooden walls that easily let next door's sound leak through. Guests are welcome to use the kitchen, but good Jamaican cooked breakfasts are also available on request, to be taken on the veranda.
