Carla and Francesca will make your stay memorable thanks to the tips and clues tailored to what you would like to explore further in the Portland Parish. Communications flown effortlessly since the start (and yes. they will help out in arranging anything needed if you ask them on time.)

The location was excellent, walking distance to Frenchman’s Cove beach, Blue Lagoon, and many bars. The place was very cozy, and everything was very clean.

The shared kitchen for guests was very basic with minimal equipment.

Excellent location in between Port Antonio and the beaches, very helpful and friendly owner and staff, clean, cozy and comfortable, delicious meals prepared in the guesthouse restaurant, affordable. It was really nice to sit and look out at the garden and hear the ocean so nearby.

Perhaps freshly prepared Jamaican chocolate tea could be offered or lime leaf tea to showcase the variety of beverages in Jamaica.

The breakfast was delicious: omelette with as much toast as I wanted; tea/ herbal tea and fruits - citrus, papaya, pineapple.

There were a few bugs, but that is not in anyone’s control!

Carla and TJ went above and beyond In my situation. I ended up staying in a different room and it really felt like home for the four days that I was there.

Very lovely Garden and wonderful Host. Free Sanco Bay & supermarket just 5 minutes walk away. Stayed 3 weeks and enjoyed every day. Thanks Carla!

Heavier curtains on the front window to shut out the security light at the front gate of the property.

Breakfast was excellent. Omelette with chopped banana, pineapple or papaya on the side and generous helpings of toast and tea. The dinners were excellent: a choice of fish, chicken or beef with rice and salad, pasta and vegetables.

I really enjoyed staying at Drapers San Guesthouse. Carla was super nice and hospitable. The location is really good to visit nice spots in Portland. My favourite was Winnifred beach. i enjoyed my meals at my guesthouse and every bit of my stay.

Carla was a superb host. Would gladly stay again.

Stayed in October 2024

Carla was a sweetheart of a host. She provided me with assistance before and after I got there and even gave me a sweet upgrade due to the availability at the time.

Stayed in September 2024

The rooms were modest but clean and functional. There were fans in the rooms and the water pressure in the shower was good. The kitchen was fairly well equipped (bring your own coffee-maker though) and there was a dining room that accommodated up to 6 people. Additional seating was available outside. The WiFi worked well in certain areas. Nice and quiet public beach was just five-minutes walk away. The staff was friendly; especially the owner, Carla, who was keen to make sure that we had everything we needed to feel comfortable during our stay. We were able to park our car inside the gate, but inquire beforehand, as the space is scarce.

I loved the charming, homely and authentic feel here. I could hear the gentle sound of waves nearby my room which was so soothing. The host and staff are attentive and friendly and very helpful. There's lots of beautiful beaches to visit and there is a sweet beach within walking distance of the property.

Leaving.

Carla is a wonderful person and together with TJ a great caring host. She has all the knowledge of Portland and beyond and can tell how to find your way. The clean and well equipped guesthouse has a relaxing lush garden with the sound of sea and birds. Beautiful beaches are within walking distance and Port Antonio within minutes by taxi for JMD 150. A lovely place.

Clara and TJ were so kind and helpful. The yard is beautiful. Great value for your money

Sweet garden, great hospitality!

Stayed in March 2024

Some of the furnishings could do with updating. Near a busy road that can be noisy at times. This did not disturb our stay though. The green garden backing on to the sea makes up for this.

Carla and her staff TJ and Verona do everything to make your stay at Drapers comfortable and to make you feel looked after. Carla was great with communication before we arrived and during to help us get the most out of our stay. She organised taxis and trips to Reach Falls, Rio Grande River Rafting and a hike with a wonderful guide called Rufus to learn about the local nature. TJ is a wonderful cook, the best we had in Portland and we can highly recommend his meals. Verona cooks up a tasty good value breakfast and keeps your room clean. There is a little beach 5 mins walk away where you can have boat trips and Rafting trips. We saw turtles here and can recommend the boat guide Mario. The locals are friendly (watch out for the hustlers, if you say you are not interested they will quickly leave you alone). We went to Vinyl Sunday at one of the local bars, we can highly recommend for old school reggae and great vibe. Geejam is opposite if you want to go to a nice bar and play pool. Drapers San was easily accessible by getting Knutsford Express to Port Antonio and then getting a taxi to Drapers San Guesthouse. It is also very easy to get route taxis to travel around the area. We felt that we had a great authentic Jamaicam experience at Drapers.

If you are looking for a place to calm down and enjoy nature, Drappers is the place. Fall asleep while hearing the waves from the Sea and not that far from beautiful beaches like Winifred or Frenchmans Cove. Carlota and her team were really helpful and helped us organise excursion/transportation on short notice. Make sure to have dinner or breakfast while staying there. TJ will make you a wonderful and delicious meal. Big up and blessing to the whole Drappers team. Felt like home and not a guest house.
