La Familia

Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & the North Coast


Friendly Italian-run guesthouse just off the main road with a clutch of simple but cheery rooms decorated with old ska and reggae vinyl records. There's an open-style kitchen-dining room, and lots of friendly cats and dogs. Your hosts, who are well-connected to the local music scene, can also cook Italian dinners on request.
