In the 1940s, Errol Flynn sailed here. He left his heart behind. In the heady jet-set 1950s and 60s, royals and aristos, celebrities and eccentrics, adventurers all, flocked here for the winter party season.

A favorite of moviemakers from The Blue Lagoon to Cocktail to The Mighty Quinn and Lord of the Flies, Port Antonio is now sleepy, a secret getaway, without all-inclusive resorts. It's relatively unknown -- except to weekending Kingstonians in-the-know who come here for its lush, green, primeval, intoxicatingly natural vibe...

Bring your camera and your sense of adventure. Beyond Belmont's private beach club membership at San San -- a one minute stroll down the hillside -- there's another world to explore: Somerset Falls, the Rio Grande, coffee plantations in the Blue Mountains, a fairytale castle, an infamous folly, Boston Bay for surfing and spicy jerk pork, Devon House stout or guava ice cream at the Errol Flynn Marina, janga or river crayfish at Norma's.

No waterslides, no dolphin rides, no "hip strip".
No rent-a-dreads, no spring breakers, no lager louts.
No could-be-anywhere mega chain hotels.
If your idea of vacation is slowing down, relaxing
and rejuvenating your sense of wonder,
Port Antonio never disappoints.

The former estate of the Molson family of Canadian beer fame, BELMONT sits dramatically on one acre of manicured lawns and gardens that overlook the sea. Stroll past the pool & gazebo down to a sublime sandy beach. Swim, sunbathe, snorkel. Sea kayak out to Pelleu Island or over to the famed Blue Lagoon. That is, if you ever stir...

Recently, host to the yachting crews of the Clipper Round-The-World race, BELMONT provides a full staff to pamper you: cook, butler, housekeeper, gardener, laundress & night security service.

Enjoy lush gardens, terraces, cozy lanais off each bedroom, hideaway nooks, chaises, hammocks and chairs, dining areas indoors and out that commandeer spectacular ocean and sunset views.

Said one reviewer: "This place is the ultimate died-and-gone-to-heaven piece of loveliness".

Pool, Beach, Gazebo, Gardens, Superb Staff and Jaw-Dropping Spectacular Views. 3 a/c bedrooms. Sleeps 1-6.
