Drapers San Guest House

The owner greeted us and we were able to chat and connect because we do similar activism and I've been to Italy before. I was given a choice as to where we could stay and invited to the local evening entertainment which i wouldn't have known about if the owner hadn't told me. There is a beach near by and it is lovely. its unassuming from the outside but once you enter the gate it is very peaceful and has a lovely vibe to it.

There was nothing that i didn't like. It is great value for money and good location to stay when in Portland.

The location is quite good if you have your own wheels; otherwise, the guesthouse will provide a relieable taxi for you; there are many beautiful beaches nearby. Both the room and the common areas are clean and cutely decorated. Both the room and the bathroom were large enough and well lit, allowing to read in bed. Breackfast was tasty and dinner was always excellent. All the staff members are efficient and kind. Last but not least, the owner is an extraordinary Italian lady who will provide lots of information about the area and also about Jamaica: she has been living in the country for more than 30 years and works there as a Human Rights activist.

The guesthouse is on a steep slope, therefore it is necessary to climb lots of steps in order to reach the different areas; moreover, these steps are uneven and are to be found even in unsuspected places, such as one inside the room I had. There are no thick curtains to prevent the bright morning light to fall very early on your eyes. There is a roaster who starts making a very lond noise at around 06.00 AM, preventing you from sleeping a little longer. It is not possible to pay with a credit card.

Perfect location for nearby birdwatching places for me. Lovely garden..Carla was really accommodating and promptly replied to messages.

You should definitely stock up on cash in Port Antonio. Drapers has a small shop where you can get everything what you neee. The accommodation is located right next to a small park with access to the sea. It's a wonderful place to relax. You have the option of cooking for yourself or ordering breakfast and dinner there. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need; only a few knives were missing during our stay. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. It's lovely to sit on the terrace in the evenings and enjoy the garden. Our host was very kind and asked daily if everything was alright, if we needed anything, or if she should bring us anything when she left the house.

A few knives were missing, and the room was a bit too warm for my husband

Excelente. Simples mas incrivel, no meio da mata, nosso quarto era lindo, vista mar com as cores da Jamaica e roots :) Port Antonio a parte mais linda da Jamaica

Nada, td otimo A unica coisa, se é para dizer algo, o chuveiro nao encaixa pq a peça quebrou e temos que segura lo. amsd nada que desmeraça.

Drapers is an amazing, tiny, rustic guest house. Carla and her staff are welcoming, kind, and helpful any moment, for anything. It is located just few minutes away from Port Antonio, but it is a central, perfect location to drive to main beaches and attractions. Drapers also offers many other services that tourists surely would enjoy: paddleboard, tour guide, and so on. There is a free little beach (Sanco beach) just around the corner. The breakfast was great: honestly, Jamaican breakfast was much better and totally overcoming the continental one, but remember to ask for it 1 or 2 days before. The place is silent and surrounded by nature. Here you can feel cultural and natural vibes as in few other places. It needs little, tiny things to fix but I recommend it 100% for a nice, short stop of few days in Portland, to enjoy peace, relax and comfort.

Struttura molto bella e pulita, in posto strategico per visitare tutta Portland e Maria Carla che ci ha ospitato persona fantastica. Consiglio a tutti quelli che vogliono visitare Portland

Carla is a great host and her service is excellent.

Carla es genial, nos acogió muy bien, la zona es ideal para ver todo el entorno. Muy tranquilo, auténtico y rural.

Baño compartido con otra habitación y falta de AA, pero con el ventilador tuvimos suficiente cabe decir.
