This is probably the BEST and CHEAPEST place to stay if you aren't afraid to rent a car and drive it on Jamaica's intimidating roads. Otherwise, you'll be taking cabs, buses, or rides to the various sights on this side of the island - all of which Winston (aka: "Chubby"!) can set up for you.
In Port Antonio, you will see the "real" Jamaica, and I highly recommend it! The people are the friendliest I've ever met, the food is totally amazing (stop by Chubby's shack when you're there!!), and there are many places on the island that are magical and have to be seen to be believed.
This was an amazing vacation - thank you thank you thank you Jamaica! - especially Winston ("Chubby"), Lee (the "Baby Driver"), Garfield, and Tyrone.
