Clean room, peaceful vibes and they have the chillest cat named Boots. Althea is lovely and I enjoyed insightful conversations.

There was nothing to not like

It was exceptionally clean, comfortable beds. Hosts great people, and they made amazing breakfast - the best one we've had in Jamaica. Althea's peanut porridge was 10+.Great location, very close to local beaches.

Lovely welcome and stay, no negative points for us

Althea and Alfio were superb hosts. Lovely original character bungalow home (maybe 1950s) and we were lucky enough to have the double ensuite - beautiful view through both bedroom windows while drinking first coffee in bed. Alfio was an excellent cook and catered for my wife’s gluten-free diet on the two occasions we ate at the house. Highlights of our stay was watching Alfio DJ at the Vinyl Club’s ‘Vinyl Sunday’ night (highly recommended), dancing in the street, and of course our morning chats on the veranda with Althea (highly recommended also). We stayed in February 2025.

Actually I liked everything 😀

The hospitality of the owners Alfio and Altea, the delicious breakfasts that Alfio prepared for us every morning - big portions and varied food, he's a professional chef! - and fish, the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful rooms, and veranda. And the beautiful Boston Beach that you reach by a 10 minute walk.

Be prepared for the mosquitoes in Portland and get a bug spray, but they have it covered with mosquito nets on the beds! 😉

Alfio and Althea have a great place in the heart of Portland. A walkable distance to Boston beach and places near it. Alfio himself is a great guy with a lot of travel experience, which shows in his incredible hospitality. And thanks Althea for sharing your herbal tea! Boots, the cat is one of the laziest day-time sleepers you'll ever meet :D Great internet connection and perfect if you're remote working, I would recommend to book long stays here! And then the highlight of staying here - the food! Alfio has magic in his hands! Some incredible Italian food with a touch of island fusion here and there! I kept coming back for food even after moving to other places :D Thanks for everything, Alfio! See you again!

This was a great option for our budget. It would have been fantastic to have access to a kitchenette, but we knew that since the guest house offers meals, it wasn't possible, which is understandable.

The guest house is located in close proximity to a few great spots. Highly recommend the Blue Lagoon! The room we booked was spacious and clean. It's hard to keep the bugs out, but they do provide a mosquito net. Alfio and Althea are welcoming and helpful hosts. Fantastic breakfast!

I’ve had a very pleasant stay with Elthie and Alfi. They are nice friendly people. The room was clean and spacious, the location good, close to Boston Beach. I’ve enjoyed morning conversations with Elthie on the Veranda with a nice view. Stayed longer than the night I’ve booked. Recommended!

It’s hard to find if you don’t have a sat nab, it’s dark and raining because the sign is down. So a new preferably light reflecting sign would do the trick. Apart from that nothing else is needed.

Rustic, clean and comfortable. Excellent professional hosts. Alfio, is a first class chef and his meals are spectacular. So much so that I didn’t want to eat anywhere else. Presentation was out of this world. Alfio , I hope I got the name right is Italian and is Chicken Alfredo is divine. Breakfast are fabulous. His beautiful Jamaican wife Althea cooks beautiful ackee and is a craft woman in her own right make lovely crochet outfits

Alfio called to confirm the booking and to make sure everything was fine on getting to the property. Once there, all our needs were met. Great hospitality from the start.. disappointed we were only staying one night and didn’t get to try the food. Great location, will def come to stay again!

Nothing

Althia was a great host and she made us feel welcome like if we were at home. Coffee and tea in the morning and also great tips about the area. The house is well located and very close to boston beach (10min walk) and not far from others amazing beaches. Restaurants and bar close to the guest house and possibility to store your food in the sharing fridge. Clean and comfy room with all you need. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a stay in Portland but out of the crazy traffic of Porto Antonio. Grazie Althia 😘

Perfect and delicious breakfast.

We weren't told about the facilities. The owner was more interested in watching wresling videos it seemed that telling us about the facilities. The door to the room literally opened up into the reception area.

The room was massive, and cool, bed huge, great location for 1 nights stay.

Best price value in Jamaica. Best breakfast in the Carribean. Completely exceeded my expectations. If you're in the area this is your place to go.

Everything, Alfio and Althea are great hosts and Alfio is also an excellent chef. Is really close to Boston beach and the other landmarks The breakfast was the best we had in our roundtrip

The Booking.com site sent us to the wrong place and we had to ask directions.

Good sized room, clean bathroom, friendly host.

There are a lot of mosquitoes around, as the house is in a rural location, so not the fault of the owner, just unlucky for me. It's a long way from town, so it's not ideal, unless you pick up supplies before arriving.

Alfio is a lovely host, and a great chef; the breakfast and dinner he cooked for me were both excellent. The place is nice and quiet, apart from the neighbours' Saturday night party, and the room was very comfortable.
