Sorry I do not know anything about Jamaica Colors Hotel.
ONE LOVE !!

It's a very small "hotel" run by a lovely French couple and is very secluded. It is east of Manchioneal and is not close to any of the main Portland attractions. On the other hand, it will give a very quiet, relaxing stay. The site is on a cliff above the sea and I believe the nearest swimming beach is back at Long Bay or on to Hector's River. There is a small pool on the grounds.
There are no nearby eating options, as far as I know, but Martine will prepare meals.
I've been on the grounds but have never stayed there.

Hi there.
Thanks to everyone for their brilliant advice. We had an absolutely fabulous time backpacking around Jamaica! We spent the first half in Portland - Ivanhoe's (where we explored PA, Frenchman's Cove, Winnifred's beach, some hiking/river punting), then Likkle Paradise in Long Bay and then Jamaican Colours Hotel. Then we moved to Port Royal for one night (to see Lime Cay). And then the second half of our trip was in Treasure Beach.
It was great and wouldnt have been as easy and fun without all the tips so we really appreciate it.
Cheers, K
