“This family-owned hotel stands out for its location on historic James Avenue, strongly connected to reggae culture, placing you in the heart of Ocho Rios near nightlife and local eateries; I think this creates an experience focused on genuine exploration rather than just a resort stay. The beachfront location with private access and complimentary breakfast sweetens the deal, while the small scale lets the staff provide truly attentive service.”
