Couples Swept Away, Negril, Jamaica – Adults-Only Paradise for Honeymooners & Romantics

This post is also available in: German

Five-star Luxury and Premium All-Inclusive Service at the Romantic Couples Resort

When you think of Jamaica, the first thing you think of is reggae. And in fact, it can be found everywhere on the island. But Jamaica has so much more to offer. The tropical surroundings are breath-taking, the people are lovely, and the hotels are fantastic.

With the Couples Resort, the all-inclusive concept was virtually invented on the island. In 1978, Abe Issa, the father of all-inclusive resorts, built his first hotel, the Tower Isle, in Ocho Rios. He transformed the hotel, popular with many Hollywood stars, into the world’s first all-inclusive resort for couples only. His vision of the perfect romantic getaway for couples is now being continued by his son Lee, other members of the Issa family, and the dedicated managers and staff.

Today there are four couples hotels, which as Jamaica’s most popular all-inclusive luxury resorts with their adults-only concept, promise relaxing, romantic, and luxurious holidays. And this promise is kept – the wonderfully chilled atmosphere, the stunning long sandy beach, the friendly staff, the personal service, the delicious food, the cocktails and activities without end – here you will be spoiled from head to toe.

Situated on the world-famous Seven Mile Beach in Negril, the elegant Couples Swept Away is the perfect place for romantics, sun worshippers, and sports enthusiasts.

“TRUE LOVE IS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.”

On 19 hectares, there are 39 bungalows with 312 suites in the Caribbean style, six restaurants, eight bars, three swimming pools, five jacuzzis, and a 4,000 square meter sports complex, hidden in the palm trees and surrounded by tropical nature. The love and respect for the natural scenery are evident everywhere here. No roof is higher than the palm trees around it.

At the heart of the Couples Resorts, are the friendly and dedicated staff. Initially, many foreigners were working at the hotels, but now the local employees have been trained and equipped with the necessary skills to such an extent, that all employees, except for three, are Jamaican. Terrific!

ALL THE FUN, ALWAYS INCLUDED

With the All-Inclusive Unlimited concept, more is included in the room rate than you would expect. Not only are you spoiled from morning to night with delicious food and drinks, but there are also plenty of (water) sports and excursions.  And even the wedding ceremony is already included.

PURE WHITE SAND BEACH

Crystal clear warm water and an endless beach for relaxing and swimming, the palm-fringed Seven Mile Beach is simply gorgeous!

Here you can relax and enjoy tasty cocktails and snacks with a view of the ocean under wafting palm leaves.

NO KIDS –  NO SINGLES – NO HASSLES

Those who don’t want to swim in the sea can also refresh themselves in one of the three pools or enjoy a cocktail at the Swim Up Bar and marvel at the sound of silence. Well, there is the twittering of birds, the roaring of the ocean, and a few laughing and cheerful guests that can be heard, but otherwise, it is wonderfully quiet!

ISLAND CHIC STYLE

The 312 suites are distributed in the tropical garden in bungalow-style buildings. Some offer sea ​​views, and others have views into the tropical garden. They are stylish and elegantly furnished in Caribbean style.

GOURMET DINING

Patois Patio

This open and caribbean style restaurant was our favorite. It offers an ingenious a-la-carte breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes in bistro-style with Caribbean and Latin American flavors and wood-fired oven pizzas. Really delicious!

The Palms

The open-plan main restaurant offers a huge selection of fresh fruit, freshly baked bread, and omelets in the morning. Lunch and dinner consist of salads and fresh seafood and are served with live music in the background.

Really enchanting are the staff and also these little feathered friends.

Lemon Grass
This cozy restaurant serves Asian-style dishes under the starry sky with a view of the main pool. It is best to book in advance.

Feathers
The Fine Dining Restaurant serves continental cuisine with a distinctly Caribbean flair. Reservation in advance is advisable.

Reggea Beach Dinner
This beach barbecue party with live reggae music and a fire show was an absolute highlight. A great party with delicious food – right by the ocean.

OASIS SPA

The award-winning spa features eight private treatment rooms, a long Buddha plunge pool, and a eucalyptus steam bath. Massages, facials, body wraps, and body scrubs are offered using local ingredients such as ginger, lemongrass, and sugar cane.

Are they not gorgeous!

Margaritaville

SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT

ISSA TRUST FOUNDATION
With this foundation, Couples Resorts has been supporting the improvement of the health of the population and the education of children since 2005. Excursions to the Oracabessa Elementary School, Ocho Rios, or the Happy Hearts Early Childhood Institution in Negril can help you to get to know the culture of the Jamaicans and Jamaica’s education system even better.    

This is a list of urgently needed school supplies that you can bring along and donate during your vacation.

ROMANCE REWARDS

The number of returning guests to the popular Couples Resorts is impressive. Those who sign up for the “Romance Rewards” program can get free nights and other benefits. There are even special dinners for returning guests.

As a family-owned resort, we take pride in providing a delightful experience that reflects our cherished island traditions. Our sadness to see you leave is only tempered by the excitement that one day soon, we will open our arms and “welcome you home” again. – Lee Issa, Chairman

FEELING IRIE

Everywhere in the romantic Couples Swept Away, you can see happy faces!  And we also felt really comfortable here – “Irie”! The enchanting people, employees, and even guests, and the unique concept make a holiday here particularly relaxing and unforgettable! There is so much to experience that a few days are hardly enough. Due to the Adults-Only concept, it is also wonderfully quiet and perfect for a honeymoon or romantic break. Each of the four Couples Resorts has its own charm! We liked the endless beach, the a-la-carte breakfast at Patois Patio and the catamaran cruise the most. Jamaica and Couples Resorts are definitely worth a trip and highly recommended! Our stay at Couples Swept Away felt much too short!
