    A dream retreat Property in Portland-Jamaica is calling you. My name is Angela and iam an holistic healing Art Therapist, I am German Jamaican and I will be the lucky one to welcome and introducing you to your new temporary home and work project here. This is my favourite place in Jamaica because of its bautiful settings, location, tranquility and calm atmosphere. This unique Ex-Eco Boutique Holel was one of the first Hotels in the world to be certified as environmentally friendly. Therefore you can say we helped to set the trend for environmental awareness in the world of tourism. I seek help, to maintain our beautiful property. I tell you about what we expect. You should be self-driven, self motivated, flexible and know to work independently. Let me explain, we had to close our Eco Boutique Hotel in March this year because of covid 19 . Our main stream of guests came from Europe so the Pandemic and the precautions which are in place ect.ect. made guests from Europe reconsidere to come to Jamaica. We are still close and do not have in consideration to reopen. The both owners of this place are my dear and close friends, left the property in my hands because they retired and left Jamaica 2019. After 27 years of excellent service and contribution to the tourism industry. I worked for 15 years with the Hotel in the Wellness area and for the past 2 years I also was managing the Hotel. I feel a personal responsibility to maintain all that was created with so much love and care on this property. The financial situation" no guests no income" encouraged us to work speak support the maintenance of this place on an volunteery basis. Our 3 remaining staff members agreed to a minimum salary and are totally overloaded with the 7 acre garden and the 11 bedroom Villas . Our two loyal gardeners looking for volunteers to help them in the garden. So if you have gardening experience (or willing to learn gardening) and even want to improve your gardening skills we are waiting for you. Aaron our diligent, ambitious and kind young maintenance also looking for help with keeping the buildings in an good condition. Painting, small reparations, woodwork and Mason work. We also would be happy to get help with housekeeping. The entire property is in excellent condition so it is important to us to maintain this. This place is all you need if you want to improve your skills and talents, experience reconnection with nature and yourself.
    Our property is interiorly environmental friendly.we use solar and have our own water catchment and purification systems. You can learn with us how to operate a sustainable environmental friendly business. So even that we are closed, we can give you much past experimental informations and encouragement for your future. So you should come with an open mind and you will gain in every aspect of life.
    'Each one - teach one' is our motto and with only 3 hours a day, 5 days a week volunteering, you can learn to gain independence in multiple skills of life . Just read on to know more details about your opportunity to spend a time in a tropical and magical Paradise

    You will be staying at our place, in a small community called Williamsfield in Drapers hights. Just 5 to 15 minutes away from some of the most beautiful beaches and bays in Jamaica. Only 10 minutes to Port Antonio, a small rural town, where Jamaica still remains at its original beauty and charm. Its super easy to make contact with all locals here because they are open, friendly and helpful to every visitor. Shared Route Taxis are the local transportation and carry you for 100 J$ to Port Antonio and are the common transport all over the island. Your temporary working colleagues will be happy to teach you Patwa (Patois),the jamaican insider language even if English is the official language of our island, everyone here speaks favourably Patwa.
    We are also open to teaching you about our culinary skills. Food is very important for every Jamaican so each one is like a chef here in Jamaica. There are so many different fruits and vegetables which as an outsider can't know and it is wonderful to learn about even our healing herbs.
    The Unique Jamaican Flora and Fauna is well known to our gardeners so they can teach you all about it.

    Hi yes it's me Angela again and I am looking forward to welcoming you for an unforgettable experience. I just want to tell you a bit more about my motivation.
    This is my favourite place in Jamaica because of its natural and tranquil, calm, environmentally- loving (not only friendly) settings and atmosphere. I have seen a lot of treasures here on our beautiful little island and the natural mystic is flowing very strong here. Come and see for your self, I will be happy to guide you and assist you to reconnect and transform, so that when you leave here you carry something for life. I was born in Munich Germany and live in Jamaica since 1986. I am living a holistic life where love is unity and by living in the present moment, we invite the blessings to flow. I am practising healing art therapy, so you can, (if you wish) learn or just be inspired to become a peaceful warrior like my self.
    I invite you to challenge your self, to discover a way of naturaly reconnecting.
    You are welcome to stay with us for a minimum time of 4 weeks up to........ no limitation.
    Oh, and, I guess understandable, there is a one week probation time, in both interests.
    I can arrange an airport pick up (for a minimum cost) for you, or if you are in Jamaica already, I will give you directions.
    Please contact me for any further arrangement. Do not hesitate, just be honest and let me know why and when you want come to Jamaica and join us in Paradise .I will reply to your inquiry in 24 Hours.
    One love and I am looking forward to hearing from you !
    Angela Roots
