Drapers San Guest House

The dog

The room lacked privacy; one could see everyone passing by through the nearly transparent curtains. My room was not cleaned during my entire stay, and the cost of the taxi service to the bus station in Port Antonio seemed excessive to me. There are no beaches nearby.

From the veranda at Drapers Guesthouse you can see the sea and listen to its music day and night. The staff are exceptional. The owner has an excellent chef who welcomes your choices from the menu with individualized options. The room staff instill trust and clean regularity— and do the extra job if you ask. Drapers Guesthouse is ideally located right next to beautiful Sancho Beach, which is a non-populous public beach where you can find privacy and tranquility. A few hundred yards from Drapers’ front gate is the lovely Frenchman’s Cove, which has an approximate $20 entrance fee, and not 3 KM away is the exquisite Blue Lagoon, which is virtually free. The Lagoon offers some of the best swimming in the world. Carla Bulotta, the owner of Drapers, is an excellent host who knows the area like the back of her hand and who is generous with her time and offer of suggestions. Carla is also very dedicated to Jamaican communities and does human rights work in Port Antonio, Kingston, and in other areas of the island. There is no better place to stay on the north coast.

N/A. I loved my stay in all aspects!

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.

Host Carla was very nice and the water pressure was high.

Beds in the triple were not comfortable, bathroom was tiny with a faulty basin pipe which sprouted water and wet the floor and your clothing. The toilet seat was coming off. The accommodations in which we stayed, a party of 5, would benefit from a renovation. I read the reviews and made my choice based on the reviews to stay for one night but unfortunately I cannot comment positively as I did not experience what other people wrote. There were other rooms on the property, so the comments were made probably from staying in those rooms. Electrical outlets needs to be checked. Parking is a challenge.
