Jamaica surprises most visitors with its diversity of adventures and the abundance of fun experiences from which to choose. It’s a quick trip from Galina Breeze into our Parish seat known as Port Maria. You can get lost in the rich history of a little town known for its history of pirates. Walk along Pagee Beach where the local fisherman sell their catch of the day or explore the old British cannons, still seated above the town at Ft. Haldane, the British used to fight off the Spanish.

 

Above us is Firefly –  The playwrite Noel Coward's great escape. It used to be owned by Captain Henry Morgan, the great pirate who the British could never overtake. Finally the British made him the first Governor of our area, originating the term, “if you can’t beat them join them!”

 

If your heart is set on exploring and local treasure hunting, our front desk staff will be happy to book a fun day-trip to the Black Sand Beach and Emerald Falls. This is a special spot only locals and special friends get to enjoy. Our kitchen will prepare a picnic lunch and goodies to take along. Be sure and bring your camera and your swim suit. The views are spectacular and the water from the falls is delightfully refreshing.

 

Ever wonder what school is like for a Jamaican child? Galina Breeze sponsors two local primary schools, known as elementary schools in the U.S,  grades first through sixth. Take a morning to visit and see how Jamaicans learn. Galina Breeze has worked closely with the teachers of each grade helping develop a “teach me” bag that you can pick up at the front desk before leaving for the school. This will give you all the instructions you need to help tutor a student who may have challenges in learning.

 

Winston Churchill said it well: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

 

Galina Breeze has many other nearby sites you can explore during your stay. Ocho Rios, the country's largest tourism center is just 30 minutes away where you can golf, shop, dine, and climb the famous Dunn’s River Falls. We offer shuttle service daily.
