I have been participating in One Love Cycle Jamaica since 2022, and it never disappoints! Storm and the entire Team are absolutely the greatest! They organize everything to the tee, and all logistics are taken care of as soon as you land.
The Highlights:
The Rides: The bike rides and rest stops are fantastic and well-organized.
The Experience: A huge highlight is visiting the schoolhouse to see the children sing and dance—a truly heartwarming experience.
Flexibility: I love that after the rides, you can relax by the pool/beach or take part in planned excursions.
Friendly Staff: Everyone involved is incredibly friendly.
Accommodation Feedback (RIU):
While the event itself is 5-star, I wanted to share some feedback regarding the RIU hotel.
Rooms & Maintenance: The rooms are small, and I encountered small bugs. Additionally, only two elevators were functioning in our building, and one was broken most of the time, forcing us to walk up five flights of stairs.
Atmosphere: I prefer the Bahia Principe (an adult-only option) as the RIU was very crowded with children, which made it feel less like a relaxing vacation.
Conclusion:
Don't get me wrong, I love children, but I prefer a more adult-centric atmosphere for my post-ride relaxation. Despite the hotel issues, the Cycle Jamaica event is spectacular. I will keep coming back for the amazing team and experience!
