I had a lovely stay at this guest house, which features a beautiful garden view and a peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast served near the swimming pool was fantastic, and I appreciated the comfortable apartment accommodations. However, the location requires transport to get to Port Antonio, and it's essential to plan ahead as food options are limited on-site.

I recently spent a weekend at this hotel, and I truly loved my stay. The view of the river while having breakfast was absolutely breathtaking. The room was clean and comfortable, offering a perfect escape. Unfortunately, I did encounter some issues with the amenities, such as the TV not working and problems with the Wi-Fi. Overall, it has excellent potential, but some areas could definitely use improvement.
