    Worth the long airport transfer!

    Quite a long transfer from the airport but it was worth it! Lovely hotel with lots to do. Quite a hilly complex but we embraced this as exercise :-) Lovely beach area with plenty of water activities. Food was good. Quite a few little areas to have sundowners. A really enjoyable holiday.

    Honeymoon Paradise

    Everyone on the resort, with staff and guests were so kind. The resort is absolutely gorgeous. I liked how the beach wasn't too deep. There were so many activities to do such as line dancing, painting, volleyball, watersports, and a wine tasting. We enjoyed all the foods we tried. There were a lot of stairs and so much wildlife!

    Met friends from Canada there. We first met them there many years ago. Enjoyed the leisurely time.

    Been there many times. Quality always there. The food and the beaches are important to us. My wife always looks forward to her massage with Ruth. Reading on the beach and sitting in the water is a good way for us to spend time after our morning walk.

    Picture perfect!!

    We can’t wait to go back!! This was a dream vacation, everything was perfect. This is a beautiful resort with fantastic food and great staff. The small number of rooms combined with the large property makes you feel like you have the place to yourself. We enjoyed the quietness of this resort made for a very relaxing holiday. Thanks to Natasha and Jackie for the excellent massages in the picturesque Cliff side spa huts. Carole’s breakfast specials were a treat to look forward to every morning. All of the meals were excellent, I can’t pick a favourite!

    Don't waste your money with this subpar resort!

    This beach vacation was the worst I have experience. Firstly, the room was supposed to be recently updated. It was painted over, with an updated bathroom and updated furniture. You could see the outside at the bottom of the door, and we had to put towels down at night to keep the bugs out. Secondly, the food was very disappointing, with low variety and a lack of taste. The same foods were served every day. The resort only has two restaurants and one buffet. Thirdly, the workers come into your room when you aren't there. I didn't request turn-down service, but my bed was turned down every night. I feel like my privacy was invaded. Also, the workers were not friendly toward my husband and me. They were very stoic most of the time. We even tipped them when tips were included in the price. They almost made us miss our flights returning home because the shuttle bus wasn't called on time. They weren't concerned about us getting to the airport promptly. This is our 5th or 6th time staying at Couples resorts and it will be our last. I will not waste another dime with this company. If you want a subpar Jamaican experience go to this resort, but if you want a good experience look elsewhere.
