Amazing in so many ways!

Last week I had the honor to stay at Couples Tower Isle in Ocho Rios Jamaica. I know what you are thinking . . . I have wrote a few times already about this resort. However in the past it was words from my clients that have stayed there and this time it is from my own personal experience.

As many of you know Jamaica is one of my favorite destinations however I have never been to Ocho Rios and after last week I am so glad I vacationed there! This resort open in 1949 by a Mr. Issa and at that time many Hollywood stars vacationed there. I quickly found out that it was the first resort to be open year round in Jamaica and in 1978 is when they introduced the adults only all inclusive experience. This resort was recently renovated in 2009 and Couples truly kept the 1950's style. I had the honor to meet two of Mr. Issa's daughters during my stay, what fun women!

There are a few things that I loved about this resort:
1. Service - The service was amazing upon our arrival the bellman got to know us and always greeted us by name as we would pass thru the lobby area. One evening at dinner our server use our names many times and paid attention to all details. This service was consistent the entire time there.
2. Food - Each meal we had was completely enjoyable, just when I thought I found my favorite meal then next evening would amaze me even more.
3. Size - As a travel agent I have found the size of a resort to be very important to some clients. Couples Tower Isle was perfect not to big and not to small.
Couples Resorts offer 4 different properties to enjoy on the beautiful island of Jamaica, and what makes them different beside my top 3 favorite things is the amenities they offer their guests, yes they have the typical kayaks, sailing and non motorized water sports but they also offer and make easy to enjoy is the diving, snorkeling, glass bottom boat tours, Dunn River Water Fall tour, Shopping Tour, water skiing, and a afternoon catamaran cruise along the coast.


I hope for your next vacation you let Couples Resort spoil you!
