Finjam Cottage

Previous reviewers have spoken about how basic the property is and that is fair comment but it is still good value for money. The cottage was established by a Finnish lady and her Jamaican husband Tony (hence Finjam) however she sadly passed away two years ago and Tony has kept it going. His strengths don't lie in communication (better to phone him on Whatsapp rather than text or email) or administration but what I will say is he could not have been more welcoming and helpful. My daughter came down with dengue fever and Tony made her garlic and ginger tea to help her recover. It was only 5 minutes walk from the Knutsford Express bus station (the best way to travel in Jamaica) and the Marina which has a lovely beach. Make sure you arrive when it's light, come out the bus depot, turn left, up a hill, left again at the Catholic church, left again and the top of that road on the left - lovely view over the marina. I'd far rather give my business to Jamaicans if I can than these all inclusive places that don't really benefit the local economy.
