DeMontevin Lodge Hotel

Port Antonio

This "hotel" was absolutely awful!! Do not stay here under any circumstances! No AC, no bathrooms in the rooms. You have to go down the hall to the shower or toilet. They were in terrible shape! And the water wasn't working.

We travelled with another couple and stayed one night, one couple got a room with a bathroom (separated from the room by a curtain for 7000 J.D) and we got room 3 with access to a common shower for 6000 jamaican dollars after a hard bargaining. 
The view from the rooms was beautifull. Sitting on the porch was a historic experience.

BUT there were no screens on the windows and even if we closed them, the mosquitos came in through the openings over the door. The openings might be there to allow the air to circulate, but I got most of my mosquito bites that night AND we could her everything happing in the other rooms on the same floor.
The other room was falling part, the light bulbs could be replaced, but the bathroom was not funtional and there was no warm water. the drain in the sink was clogged, the water in the toilet didnt fill up, the door to the closet didnt open and so on.
The hotel is very quaint, but is really in need of refurbishment.

Quaint with a lovely view, but very rundown

This charming Victorian hotel was built in !881. Queen Elizabeth stayed here twice. It is on Titchfield Hill and has a view of the bay. If you are a fussy tourist that wants a generic chain hotel that looks like anyplace in the world, you will be disappointed. If you are a traveller that prefers unique charm, history, and the feel of old movies, this is your hotel. The rooms are colorful, the linen is tropical, the furniture is vintage. The shared bathroom had old fixtures. Fewer and fewer historic hotels survive. They get 'updated' and ruined. This is one of my two favorite Jamaican hotels.

A Comfortable Hotel For History Buffs

We spent one night at this place 4 children and 4 adults and paid $17,000JMD for two rooms. Firstly the room and sheets were covered in dust which were changed on request. The bed was old and so were the pillows extremely uncomfortable. The worst situation was when the lights were turned out the children felt something crawling on them ....to out surprise when we put the lights back on the place was teaming with cockroaches. We had to ask staff for spray to kill them but the children were do distraught   and wanted to sleep in the car. In the end we all ended up sleeping in one room.....never again.

Never Again

Actually traveled June 2006(no option) After staying at a couple B&B'sThought this would be something a little different for a night or two.Arrived early evening after a long day to find the lodge on a hill of a quiet side street. It looked interesting.We checked in and went up to our room.It wasn't quite what I had imagined. It was old yes but bed, sheets, all old and felt like no one had stayed there in years. Every surface felt sticky.We did ask for and were able to get 2 floor fans, it was hot on 2nd floor & no breeze. As we were discussing dinner the power went out.We thought we would give it till after dinner & then hopefully would be back on.It didn't & were told it was a big outage.Being hot,tired, no power, were getting the creeps & managed to catch the desk person before they left for the night. They seemed surprised we didn't want to stay the night. Couldn't reverse our charge because no power but assured us they would as soon as power was back on. So we drove back to Ochio Rios in the dark, in the rain.

What was I thinking?

+ staff is friendly and helpful
+ rooms are big and clean

- You can really hear EVERYTHING throw the walls (Local couple next door stayed up the hole night, so I couldn't sleep at all: 8 hours of talking, tv was screaming and they were having sex). The hole house was empty except us and that couple next door. The staff could have put us to different part of the house...but they didn't.
