“Secluded in the hills a short drive from Port Antonio, this place appeals to travelers seeking an authentic taste of rural Jamaica. The rushing Swift River and home-cooked Ital breakfasts are highlights, and evenings bring star-studded skies after local domino games. While the roads getting there can be challenging, the experience promises peace, comfort, and connection with nature.”
