Couples Negril

Fabulous resort - you won't regret it! Great location, food, drinks, and consistently good service/friendly staff. We met many returning visitors; it's a relatively small resort, which was just what we were looking for, perfect for a chilled week away. We had a large corner garden room with a hammock and partial sea view, which was great. Highly recommend the included boat trip. We will be back, it's just a question of which Couples Resort to book next!

My husband and I just returned from our first visit to Couples Negril for our honeymoon. The Couples brand was recommended to me by a coworker who has been many times. They recommended Swept Away, but I decided with it being our first all inclusive the smaller resort would help us to not feel overwhelmed. I researched many AIs, in many countries, and found that Couples seemed to be the best bang for our buck. The price includes water sports and excursions (snorkeling, scuba diving, catamaran cruise, glass bottom boat, and more). The water sports staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Another thing that we liked is there is no tipping at Couples, and they do not have tiers of service. It is a true all inclusive experience. There was NO other AI brand I came across that offers these things. We are 26 and 33 years old. We saw many people say this resort is a much older crowd. When we went, we found it to be a good mix of ages. We talked to many other young honeymooners, as well as people celebrating their 10th, 20th, and 30th anniversary. We are not partiers, and we found the vibe to be exactly what we were looking for. The food is good if you find what you like and stick with it. We loved the breakfast buffet (especially the omelet station), Lychee, and the beach grill. The coffee bar was absolutely incredible. Special shoutout to Daneica, she makes the best vanilla latte I’ve ever had. The rooms were nice and very clean. You can tell the property is older and there are some parts that could use some fixing up, but it was still a gorgeous resort. For example, some parts of the pool looked rough. We weren’t bothered by this as we spent almost all of our time on the beach. THE BEACH IS INCREDIBLE!!!!! The water is so, so clear. Imagine purified water out of a bottle clear. The beach is kept in absolutely impeccable condition thanks to the groundsmen of the resort. I always made sure to show appreciation for their work when I saw them. They are incredibly hard workers and do such an amazing job. The sunsets were the most beautiful I have ever seen. I truly could not believe my eyes when I looked at the sky each evening. It is truly the beach of your DREAMS. Before booking I saw multiple reviews saying the employees are rude and do not always provide good service. My opinion is that those reviews are WRONG. We found that you get what you give with the staff. If you are kind, the staff are so appreciative. I have never seen people respond so positively to simple kindness and respect. One of the main reasons we plan to return to this resort is because of the amazing staff. Getting to know them brought so much joy to our trip. Shaquan brightened my day each time I saw her at the different restaurants. Donna took great care of us each morning at the breakfast buffet. We received the most amazing couples massage from Venecia and Doreen at the spa. Lindon took care of us on many occasions at the Terrace bar, he made us special shots based on our preferences and they were delicious. Denva kept us laughing at the piano bar and remembered our order each time he saw us. My husband and I can’t wait to go back to see all of our new friends! Overall we had the most amazing honeymoon, and we cannot wait to come back to Couples Negril!

Just returned from eight days at Couples. Very pleased! We had requested a room in Bldg 6 or 9. Got the "premier room" - best we've ever had anywhere! Room 6301 - third floor overlooking the beach, ocean and pool area. Huge and well-anointed! The food was pretty good - an A minus. Staff was wonderful - an A plus! All smiling, friendly, and helpful. Thanks, Roshay! Service was great. Activities were plentiful. Games, volleyball and music. The only down-side: (for the guests who like the nude beach): I heard one guest complaining to another that his spouse didn't like nudity, but he, as a "solo" was not allowed to go on the beach. Even though he "paid as much as the married guests". Probably a good argument. Guess they had some weirdo solos. Solve that problem by kicking them off! We recommend!

Booked this resort as it only had 234 rooms. It was amazing, the food was plentiful and of a high standard, the drinks were all well known brands including Red Stripe !! There were healthy snacks, wraps, salads and funky juices during the day as well as set menus, patties and ice cream. The fine dine restaurant was awesome. You could not go hungry. The room service we had one night was also top notch The pool area was spotless with ample loungers and excellent poolside service. The beach was stunning, safe and clean. Most of the watersports activities were included, snorkelling, Scuba, paddleboards, sailing dinghys and the best was the 2 1/2 hour catamaran trip. Room was a good size with the best pillows ever. Mini bar stocked well. Towels aplenty. View of gardens and beach. It was also cleaned twice a day. The vibe was great and everybody seemed to be in great form. This, in my opinion, was down to the Entertainment Staff - Keana, Deshane, Franchesca, Rhasidat and Iesha. Always smiling, engaging, making us feel welcome. Then when it came to the events, games and sporting activities they were not overly pressing you into taking part. When we did take part, which was a lot, it was great fun. The Funny Money idea was absolutely magnificent. The more people knew about it and its value, the more people engaged. Brilliant. The rest of the staff were also fantastic and I am sorry for not getting a lot of their names. Everyone acknowledges you when they pass and are always smiling. Would I go back? In a heartbeat.

We just returned from Couples Negril , and we enjoyed every minute of it . It is located on Grace Bay extension of the 7 miles beach . The water is so clean and transparent that looks like a swimming pool . We didn't even go to the resort swimming pool except for a drink at the pool bar . What i like in the pool bar , is that it is separated from the pool itself , not like most resorts i went before . It gives a cleanliness to the pool itself We had room 6307 on the third floor across from the main restaurant overlooking the ocean . As we return to the room late at night , we escape the sound of the entertainment program ( music mostly ) available in the restaurant before 10 pm . After 10 pm there is always things to enjoy in the Piano Bar like sing along , danse . Karaoke, where we spent out late evenings and nights , and the drinks at the bar were great and genuine Did I mention that the service was great . Every one working in the resort does its best to please you . When you have a request like missing ice , they provide it as soon as possible . When you arrive in the resort , they greet you with a glass of bubbled wine and give you a bottle for you the keep . You can fill it with ice and water to take to the beach. There are 4 restaurants . One is located near the beach , very convenient for lunch where you can enjoy a cob salad , burger , pizza or fries with a variety of sandwiches Next , you have a French or Italian a la carte restaurant that serves excellent food . A Asian restaurant offers its specialties , but I do not eat Asian food or sushi . Finally , you have the main restaurant the alternates between a la carte and open buffet . Tastes are different , but you can always find something that you like to eat There is a coffee bar that serves fresh coffee daily also . Beach is beautiful and you do not need to wake up early to book a spot in the shade , because there are so many trees offering shade areas everywhere. Did I mention that the resort was not even half full because it was in the low season , that could be the reason why we has so much choices in the beach to find easily shade areas. I met people that returned to the resort several years in a row and are always happy to find the memories of each year vivid and renewed. Finally a quick note about our room . It was clean and spotless , ac was uninterrupted and a ceiling fan added to the cool and freshness of the room . It is basically furnished , but functional . it has a well replenished mini bar too , and was sea front positioned with a balcony where you can sit and see the bay at an angle . I do not recall having seen a direct ocean front balcony in any room close to me . They had only windows . The only point to mention is that the resort is 75 minutes away from the airport and traffic close to Montego Bay is very busy
