Mokko's Prices

Staying at Mokko's guesthouse is a lot like camping, though with a bed and a cook.  It is without a doubt the "real Jamaica" with all its many facets. But you move freely throughout the community under their protection.

Cabins at Riverside Cool Cottages are clean and dry. Each cabin has its own lock. Dinners are Ital, freshly prepared from freshly gathered natural food.

You are nestled safe in your bed, but you can hear the night country noises, roosters mainly. Words we discovered with these noises are cacophony, racket and din and there was much talk about chicken dinner.

Mokko's guide service is safe, knowledgeable and affordable. Guides in Jamaica get into tourist areas for free.  However, when arranging prices for guide services, $1,200 JD/day (about $20 US/day) you should also figure food and taxi costs in addition to guide fees. Call ahead for guide service as he must have time to prepare. Read Marc and Line's Trip Report about their experiences with Mokko as their guide.
