Couples Negril

This hotel resort was small and very nice. Rooms were spacious and comfortable with private balconies. Air conditioning was good and cold. Beaches were clean, beautiful and well maintained. Float mats on each chair and plenty of shade if you wanted out of the sun. Beach and pool side had food and drink service. The huge pool was clean, warm and had a swim up bar. Restaurants were good, however there are only 4 and sometimes one was closed. Not alot of night life and it was very quiet by 10:00. Piano bar with karaoke, occasional band and a beach side bon fire. Lots of water activities at no additional cost. Staff was very friendly and always attentive. Tennison and Odean were our favorite server and bartender. Caterman sunset cruise is a must do activity. Diving was great and had decent gear provided. The dive master and crew were also great. This cashless resort is a must on your bucket list.

The Room: I always try to book the Beachfront Suites when available. If you were any closer to the beach you'd be sleeping in water! The AC is always nice after a "Hot, Hot, Hot - Andre" day in the sun. The housekeepers do a great job keeping things tidy. I don't get to see them too often though. . . They are like ninjas! The personalized mini-bar is always great! I think they maybe ran out of some Ting as I kept getting Schweppes grapefruit instead but not a big deal. The room is simple, understated, clean and efficient. Dining I am not a buffet fan so I usually eat lunch at Heliconia everyday. I love watching people on the beach while relaxing after a morning of diving. The offerings at Heliconia stay pretty much the same everyday so I switch between Jerk Chicken and the Jerk Burger. Other couples we were with would often times go over to the buffet but bring it to Heliconia to eat. They loved the buffets I believe the hardest working server is Odean. THIS KID IS KILLING IT! He is always aware of what is going on around him and constantly working to give the best service possible despite some groanings from Mr. Reid the manager about checking in at the hostess stand. Odean is quick to get tables put together and fast on the ice cream delivery! He is very guest-centric. ODEAN! THANK YOU SIR! We can't wait to come back to visit you! Tahjai, Natoya, Tennyson and the others at Heliconia, Thank you for putting up with me each day! Breakfast at Cassava is always good. . . though I primarily stick to the waffles with mango (and now coconut). Coffee is always quickly refilled. Lychee - 3 words . . . FRIED ICE CREAM! SOOO GOOD! Everything we ate at Lychee was excellent. Service is always good too. I don't remember the hostess' name but our group was eating dinner at Heliconia but wanted the fried ice cream at Lychee. I went over and asked if we could get 6 fried ice creams for our group from the hostess. She was super accommodating and got it to us quickly. I was anticipating a little push back from her on this but she came through in spades! I don't remember her name but THANK YOU! It made our evening. Otaheite - Always professional, Always great! We try to get reservations there multiple times during our stays. One of my favorite things at Otaheite is the personalized salad. . . so good. The one thing I noticed this trip that changed was the wine list. . . GREAT IMPROVEMENT! CAYMUS in JAMAICA! Yes please! Spa I don't usually go to the spa. . . that is my wife's cup of tea. However, I know Doreen only because my wife wouldn't stop talking about how awesome her massages are! ASK FOR HER! Thanks Doreen! Watersports Mr. Karl Stewart runs a tight ship but gives his people freedom to be themselves. If you've never scuba dived before get with Richard! Almost every trip we go on, someone from our group gets certified to scuba dive and Richard is normally the guy doing it (We keep missing Sugar the past few trips. . . how many holidays does this guy get?! JK!). He is fantastic at making you feel comfortable. Richard is the consummate professional and we are excited to see him back in the water! Omar - this guy! Super genuine guy who is always making sure you have a good time. I dove with Omar about 13 times this trip including a night dive. . . great guy to dive with. He keeps promising seahorses but doesn't deliver. . . he could work on that! "These are things you MIGHT see - Omar" Derrick . . . no offense to Omar but he plays better music on the boat! I can't wait to get to dive with Derrick when we come back. Thanks Derrick for the good time! Byron, Courtney, Jermaine, Thelia, Mr. Brown, England, Rayon . . .the list goes on and I know I am forgetting some of you. . . The pools are always sparkling and the activities are great! THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WORK YOU DO TO MAKE OUR VACATION GREAT!

I was only here for two nights...my loss. I should have extended my stay. Warm and welcoming staff, great beach and pool, good service at all restaurants and bars, and a very comfortable room. The gardenview from my room was lush and pleasant, very near the spa, so that was convenient. I was not aware that Scuba was included at Couples resorts for certified divers....what a bonus for those that are divers. Will I be back to Couples Negril? I certainly hope so...I loved it.
