GREAT HUTS

Port Antonio

After four nights at Round Hill, we got a driver to take us to Port Antonio, which is a very wet part of Jamaica. It’s a bit like going to Manchester: always rainy. (Much less grey, though!) The journey takes four hours, but you’re so excited by what you see out the window that it goes really fast.

I wanted to do this trip on a ‘high low’ vibe, so we stayed at this eco-hut place called Great Huts. If Round Hill was your classic resort, Great Huts was your eco-touristy, backpackers spot. It was cool and really interesting, but the basic accommodation came as a bit of a shock after the luxury at Round Hill. It would be perfect if you and your boyfriend just wanted to smoke weed, have sex and do a bit of surfing, but it’s not the place to go with a baby.
