"Arrived at Ocho Rios Sunday evening and after a walk round the town found the Reggae Kitchen. Can't praise the staff enough. They gave us advice about the area, made sure we got home safe and the food was excellent. We had coconut shrimp. Lovely bar full of the usual beverages and overall a great experience. Thank you guys we will no doubt be back!"
