<CENTER><FONT face=tahoma SIZE="2" COLOR="#660000"><H3>Port Antonio </H3>
<B>Jamaica’s heart and soul retreat.</B> <BR><BR>
Nestled between twin harbors on the island’s northeast curve,<BR> where mist-shrouded mountains drop down to the sea,<BR> Port Antonio more than lives up to its reputation as<BR> <B>"the most exquisite port on earth." </B><BR><BR>
Founded in 1723, Port Antonio was Jamaica’s most important <BR>center for banana growth and export in the late 1800s.<BR> <B>One of the island’s first hotels was built here in 1905</B>,<BR> and it soon became a vacation mecca for <U><I>the rich and famous</I></U> of the day. <BR><BR>
<B>Today</B>, Port Antonio’s unrivalled beauty makes it popular for movies and fashion shoots,<BR> while its resorts and villas continue to provide inspiration for celebrities, writers, royalty, and captains of industry, commerce and politics. </CENTER></FONT>
