Polish Princess Guest House

In 43 years of business/relaxation trips to Jamaica, I cannot recall a more welcoming and positive place to stay than Barbara's Polish Princess Guest House, a few miles from Port Antonio. VERY much a bargain for those not needing the All-Inclusive experience in JA. The lush foliage of Portland Parish surrounds her comfortable location, and is a mile or so from one of the island's most beautiful beaches, Frenchman's Cove. An excellent breakfast is served each morn. The accommodations make for a simple, clean setting, the staff is efficient, and the owner is a fine source of recommendations for this area. No hassle, no stress: just one of the best corners I've experienced on this island.

We loved our stay at Polish Princess. The guest house is very nice, with spacious rooms (including walk-in-closet) and a big terrace to hang out. Barbara is the nicest host, always helpful and charming. Breakfast is plenty and delicious and two wonderful, local Winifred Beach is just a 20 min walk away. And only few minutes from the Guest House you’ll find Tropical Lagoon Resort, which has free access to a small beach down at Blue Lagoon. Make sure to ask at reception whether the bar at the beach is open, Steve serves the best cocktails while you dream away in a hammock. You can also rent kayaks and go see some turtles. For us, Port Antonio was definitely the best place to stay in Jamaica!

Of all the places my boyfriend and I stayed in Jamaica, this was my favorite. There, you can be closer to nature, connected to other travelers, and more in touch with a little slice of authentic Jamaica. After the road riddled with potholes to get there (hopefully this will be fixed soon), the opportunity to relax in the outdoor chairs (each with a table and outlet nearby) or on the rooftop (with fun games/activities, too) was wonderful. The hostess, Barbara, has created an extension of her home, both in terms of the rooms she has added on and in terms of they way she warmly welcomes and cares for her guests. Her knowledge of the area, her sound advice, her amazing cooking skills, and her willingness to go above and beyond to cater to our requests (a hot water kettle, a set of dishes to use, beach towels to borrow) made her a stand-out owner and solidified my love of this place. The effort to get there is well worth it, as the beaches in the area are, in our opinion, the best you'll experience in all of Jamaica. It is a place you'll want to book for more than one night, for sure...We would certainly book it again if we were to find ourselves in Jamaica once more.

Excellent Excellent home experience the food is wonderful... staffs are friendly the environment is clean.. this is an excellent place to have some family time. Miss Barbara is such a wonderful soul .. hats off to everyone

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The place was clean and the environment was fresh. Close proximity to all the attractions that are popular in Portland. Breakfast was inclusive and freshly prepared.

My family and I decided on enjoying our weekend in Portland the vegetarian 🌱 parish, we were introduced to the polish princess guest house by a fail manger who mess our reservation up☹️. Upon arrival to the Polish Princess Guesthouse, we were greeting by this smiley blonde name Barba. And from that moment until we checked out the hospitality has been above and beyond. I’m in the tourism industry for 11 years and this is far the best experience I’ve seen. Big up Gary the all rounder and he’s right hand, can’t remember her name but they ensure that our breakfast 🍳 is ready our time and that our rooms are clean 🧼, I recommend this place anytime and we will definitely be back one day 🙏🏽
