Pimento Lodge: Commanding The Heights

travel along the sweep of Portland's  spectacular Long Bay and the surf, wave after wave of liquid azure crystal, dominates. The sea hurls itself against the accepting shoreline.

Journey up the short, steep hill that runs off the main "square" however, ans a different perspective emerges. The water appears calmer, almost as if one could walk on it


From the balcony or from the expansive pool deck of the Pimento Lodge hotel, if you look down at the Caribbean, closes your  eyes, then open them again, its not hard to have visions of some Mediterranean hilltop villa say, in Italy or Greece.


Billed as "a boutique, family run hotel born of a Jamaican/German partnership" the resort first took shape just about six years ago, when owner Lloyd edwards and his wife returned home after living for many years in the UK as well as in Germany


He had no prior experience in the hospitality industry, but he knew he had a gem of a property on his hands that could be transformed, with not inconsiderable amounts of capital and  sweat equity, into an attractive resort.


Six years later, with the aforementioned stunning poolside panorama, Afro-inspired artwork (by artist Katapul) and eight "suite-sized" guest rooms, Pimento Lodge stands ready to welcome all looking to add that critical extra dimension to the splendid but  well-worn "sun, sea, sand" vacation experience.


Visitors can choose from any number of accommodation packages, from room only, to all-inclusive. and hey, as long as you don't test the wicked undertow, sun, sea and sand is a short hop down the hill if you still desire.
