At The World on Wheels, it's time to find out what's out there beyond the walls of our resort in Runaway Bay. Let's jump in the car and take a drive along the north coast of Jamaica.
It's another brand new Cocktail Hour at The World on Wheels. Instead of a pub crawl, a pool crawl as it is. A swim up tour of the cocktails of the Bahia Principe at Runaway Bay, Jamaica.
