"A lot of fun, if you make the effort... you'll forget that you are in Orlando! His relatives helped design this replica of his Jamaican home. With an open air courtyard and live Reggae and steel drum bands playing nightly the island atmosphere and rum drinks set the scene." Text Source: (visit link)
