I was really looking to stay at Drapers San after so many years.. We had a wonderful experience and we had the opportunity to meet Carla who is really helping the local community to grow up. She is doing a great job and started this business where are working also locals. Chris the chef is very good and you will... More

We spent two nights with Carla and her folks in January. We can't say enough good things about our stay and the village of Drapers. We were trying to arrange travel to a couple of different lodging options during a quick visit to Jamaica in January. We came across Carla's place and decided to book and our confirmed dates changed... More

We can’t think of a better place to stay than Drapers San Guest House where the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. It is the ideal place to meet other travellers and to share experiences. In the evenings, people sit outside in the garden to have a drink, chat and listen to the sound of the waves and the concert... More

This guesthouse is anything but bland. It struck me as more European than Jamaican, and certainly not 'Anglo-Saxon' or American. The other guests when we were there were speaking French and Italian (and seemed friendly and pleased when I joined in rather haltingly), and there was some (tobacco) smoking in the garden. The property nestles on a steep and narrow... More

Drapers San is a wonderful guesthouse. We spent 7 nights, dinners and breakfast are delicious and our room was perfect! Drapers is a little village in Portland parish, 10 minutes from Port Antonio and the guest house is perfectly located - close to the most beautiful jamaican beaches, especially Winnifred Beach, a public area where you can spend long hours...

for a tiny room with shared bathroom, this is over priced, the worst guest house we have stayed in Jamaica. Full of dogs and cats...Jamaica is a great place to visit, just don't visit Drapers San.

Tiny , small , cell block rooms. For the same rate at various places, we had huge rooms, or seperate chalets. Overpriced. Dogs maul you at the gate, cats come into you room. On a busy main road. No access to gardens or beach. Breakfast was fine, and nice local girl serving us. Go to Long Bay and stay at... More

I stayed here on 2 occasions while I was a student in Kingston. The rooms are comfortable and basic. It's really no frills. If you want a place where you'll be looked after, this is not it. If you want a place to lay your head at night that is comfortable and relatively safe, and insider travel advice from the... More

Many of us have options as this area has no shortage of cute places to stay. There are a few things that does not keep drawing people back to this hotel - the owner can be stand-offish to certain guests and friendly to others. We went to the guest house because of the owner's profile on the internet - and... More
