Concierge "It may look like a misplaced paddleboat from the Mississippi—or a tourist trap—but this floating double-decker eatery serves terrific food, and to a mostly local crowd."
Frommer's "The setting for this unusual and very laid-back restaurant is a houseboat built around 1960 that floats at permanent anchor from a pier beside Freeport Road." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Half the fun of eating at The HouseBoat is the location: a floating restaurant that’s permanently moored (and softly rocking) at a pier overlooking the Montego Bay Marine Park." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Unusual location in a refurbished floating houseboat, with tables inside and on the decks."
Rough Guide Star
"Fantastic, unique setting in a converted houseboat moored on Bogue Lagoon."
Frommer's "You can dine in the nautically woody interior or up on one of the two covered decks above for the best views of the fish in the water...the food is international fusion, well prepared, and tasty" Full review

Eden Bower Rd., Ocho Rios, Jamaica
From $3/night
Fodor's "Evita's commands a wonderful view of Ocho Rios and the sea from its outdoor verandah dining area." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Set on the mountainside above Ocho Rios, this long-standing favorite of both locals and tourists delivers magnificent from the terrace so arrive early to grab a seat."
Rough Guide "The best-advertised (if a little overpriced) pasta and pizza on the north coast, served on a gingerbread verandah overlooking the bay."
Frommer's "You can dine in the wood-floored interior surrounded by paintings, photos of Evita’s many famous patrons, at the mahogany bar (good cocktails)...some dishes are straight-up Italian" Full review
