“Will stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2011

I think what I liked most about Mikuzi is the fact that it is a 10-15 minute walk from the best beach in the Portland area. This was my third time back to Portland and the other two times I stayed at Great Huts. What no one mentions about Great Huts is that the sleep quality is quite poor at that resort because you can hear the music from the dance hall a couple of times a week until 3 or 4am...Once I heard the music until 5am when I stayed at Great Huts. There is a dance hall up the street from Mikuzi, but the music ended at 1 or 2am and it happened only once during the week I was there....Maybe I got lucky, but I think Fairy Hill is a little quiter than Boston Bay (where Great Huts is located).
So, if you are ok with cold showers (Mikuzi does not have hot water), I highly recommend Mikuzi.
I agree with all the other comments about Steve...He is a wonderful soul and went out of his way to make sure I was happy.

“Mikuzi - BEST place in Port Antonio!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2011

Steve will go out of his way to make sure you have what you need. His love for this place, which he built with his family, is definitely made known by how much he puts in to his guests, and the landscape that surrounds. The plants are amazing, the rooms are clean, and lucky you if you get a visit from the kitty, who seems to have selected Mikuzi as her spot. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

“A very special place, a REAL Jamaican experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2011

Mikuzi is a unique destination for people who want to experience a slice of REAL Jamaica. This is not a resort, not even a hotel, really. It's a small group of cute cottages, tucked into a hillside, on the edge of a small village called Fairy Hill.
Steve, the manager, is a wonderful man, a great local who will walk you into the village to get dinner at the small, simple restaurant along the side of the road (great fried chicken!)
This is definitely a place for the slightly adventurous, the traveler as opposed to the tourist. We felt completely safe here, less than 100 feet from a lively church and a collection of small tin-roofed bars playing great reggae and serving cheap beer and rum drinks. Stop by for a drink with the locals at night and you will dance and laugh like a local. You will probably be the only tourists there.
Ten minutes down the hill is the ridiculously pretty Winnifred Beach, where you will also probably be the only tourists all day, sipping Red Stripe, napping in the shade and snorkeling. Heaven.
This quiet corner of Jamaica has The Blue Lagoon (from the movie,) waterfalls, more quiet beaches, and generally has a lost in time feel that is peaceful and gorgeous.
Oh and Boston Bay, the HOME of jerk chicken, is 5 minutes away and is killer!
For the money (I mean really...it is cheap!) Mikuzi is a gem, an absolute delight. I'll be back as soon as possible!

“Mikuzi: Cosy nest with the right beat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2011

Mikuzi made me feel very welcome. Steve who runs the place with heart, is extremely kind and genuine.
Rooms with nice decor surrounded with a beautyful garden. Its like a little peaceful nest where from you can go to explore the safe and friendly neighbourhood with its beautyful beaches and laidback lifestyle. Good food (or barbeque your own in the backyard!) and bars, all just in walking distance. Couldn´t ask for more.
Im sooo happy that I got to have the experience of staying at the Mikuzi, it truly is something special <3

“Great place to stay at Port Antonio... a small piece of paradise...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2011

Very nice place.. nice cozy main house... great garden.. very relaxing.
Steve the caretaker was amazing.. the winifred beach is nice... close to the Boston Bay Jerk Center. Would love to have stayed longer.
It may change its name in to Winifred Guest House... but Steve will still be there to serve you with a warm smile..
