We all know that there is something about Jamaica. The island is rich in history, music, culture, food, and its warm, hospitable people are the heartbeat of the island. Royalton knew all of that and more as it opened their resorts on the island. In doing so, all their searching for just the right spot to open their doors, led them to what we would call some very well-positioned resorts that embody the essence of the island. If you know Jamaica, you know that it's an island with a vast array of options, activities, views and vibes. I went down to check out a few of their offerings and they did not disappoint. Let me start with them nailing the current situation as best as can be anticipated, based on…

Getting outside and connecting with nature does wonders for the soul. Nowadays, it’s one of the best travel options on the planet, and what a way to see the world. From the saddle of a bike, it becomes apparent that you would be hard-pressed to find a more moving connection to the outside world. The visceral reactions that wash over you while pedalling down a coast road and seeing the ocean,outstretched, and lapping at the shore make some pedal faster while others pause to take it all in. We wanted all of this and set out to find a company that was swanky enough to accommodate our discerning tastes. While we looked around for that perfect fit, practically a butlered ride, we discovered Escape Adventures. Their motto suited us perfectly,…
