A Wealth of Exotic Options
National dish ackee and saltfish, pumpkin soup, bammy, festival and the catch of the day, baked plantain, home-made ice cream or coconut pie for dessert, Red Stripe and Appleton rum—Jamaican food is full of verve.
Our prix-fixe breakfast on the Hummingbird Terrace is US$18, our bar menu is $12 and up, and dinner is $30. Please order meals in advance. Or choose to relax on your villa terrace or balcony and enjoy meals overlooking gardens and the Bay, for an additional 18%. Let us know which you would prefer.
Personal cook-housekeeper service is also available in very limited quantity at your villa for $48 a day. Your groceries are bought at cost plus 10% service charge, or you may bring your own.
You may wish to give your cook-housekeeper a gratuity directly if you feel her service has equalled or surpassed your expectations.
A guest writes, "A dinner for two in New York costs the equivalent of a whole week of Joan's delicious meals."
Why not try...?
A visit to the main Port Antonio market with your housekeeper on a Friday or Saturday can provide an insider's look into daily Jamaican life.
