Fodor's Expert Review Jamaica Palace Hotel

Rte. A4,, Port Antonio, Portland, Jamaica

This Port Antonio hotel might be distinctive for its Jamaica-shape swimming pool and surrounding black-and-white pool terrace, but that's just the beginning of its unusual aspects as the all-white building is designed to resemble a 17th-century Italian palace. Deemed "the art gallery hotel," the facility displays 2,000 pieces of art from paintings to sculptures, some by the hotel's owner. Guest rooms are surprisingly stark, most having beds with curving footboards, flowery spreads, and little other decoration. There are a handful of dining options at the hotel and guests can choose between a "bed-and-breakfast" or an all-inclusive package.

PROS

  • large rooms
  • large poolside area with plenty of seating
  • good on-site dining options

CONS

  • no beach
  • basic guest rooms
  • somewhat remote location
