    A Fun Stay at Finjam
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Basic Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    There is a fridge to put your drinks and things in, but you have to ask the owner to put them in and give them back to you, which isn't very convenient.

    The place is just past the centre of town, so easy to access restaurants and shops. It's also quiet and breezy on the hill. The room had a fan and mosquito net, so it was comfortable to sleep in.

    The time we were there unfortunately the water pump was on it’s last legs and would make a horrible loud noise every time it went on, which was often. It’s jarring sound occurred anytime anyone in the facility turned a tap on or flushed a toilet. It was loud and annoying. Tony is a handyman, so I suspect he will have this fixed soon enough. This isn’t the property’s fault, but good to know, the town comes alive, loudly, at night. There is music and big voices on loud speaker megaphones. If night life is your jam, this could be a good thing; but for sleeping, not so much. It all ends by 4am, just in time for the roosters to begin singing!

    The layout and space of Finjam Cottage was great. There are three communal covered outdoor spaces that were great to sit and talk to each other and the other guests, or to quietly enjoy our morning coffee. Since I was travelling with my family, the kitchen was very useful for preparing meals and so we used the dining table to sit together and eat. The rooms were large and had warm water. Comfortable beds and pillows. My husband and I had room 4, which had a private balcony that we enjoyed. The property is surrounded by tropical trees, and has a great view to the water on both sides. Lots of birds to watch in the trees, and some neighbourhood cats would come to visit too. It was an easy walk down the hill to town to visit the market or walk the marina park. The roads out of town to the beaches are classic Jamaican roads, so 12 km to the beautiful public (by donation) Winifred Beach took over 40 minutes to drive! Tony, the owner of Finjam, is a very personable and kind man. He was helpful in all the ways and easy to talk to.

    I didn't like that there was no cable (Netflix etc...) and the bathroom was too near the bed. Also, there was no soap holder inside the shower.

    Rooms werent ready despite arriving after check in time (this seems to be a theme in Jamaica which I was expecting before I even arrived), floors could have been swept a bit better and bathroom was quite small. Water from bathroom tap was barely a trickle but shower was OK.

    Use of the kitchen was free and decent amenities in there. Rooms OK, fairly spacious, whole place a little dated, seemed a little nicer in the photos but OK for 1 or 2 nights stay. Location alright, you can walk to the main centre for restaurants.

    We did not receive towels, toilet paper etc unless we requested. Not clear if we were expected to bring our own. The wifi and TV were very temperamental. When we did ask the host, he did try to fix the wifi and TV.

    Location for proximity to banks, food etc. The host was pleasant, helpful, and accessible. He was also responsive to our needs. Allowed is to experience a lival Jamaican experience, as opposed to a resort.

    Great guest house, a mixture between a travelling hostel and guest house... loved the fact we had a balcony and quite but very close to town. Tony the owner is great and we loved its rustic charm.

    . Local beach was not available for swimming . There was no breakfast as advertised on the booking. There was no door on the toilet, only a curtain to pull acrossed the doorway

    Location was good, short walk to the town centre, beautiful scenery, bed was comfortable. Host was a nice person.

    I loved itd Rustic charm. Its tranquil and beautiful scenic environment. The staff went over and beyond to make my stay comfortable. When my feet were swollen, Tony used his massage skills to soothe them. The property has coconuts, fruit and vegetable trees and plants, its a nature preserve. The security was good. I felt comfortable and at home. The town centre and food shops are close by. My stay was better than expected.
