The hotel

Surrounded by coconut trees within 18 acres of natural, lush tropical gardens, Couples Negril is nothing short of idyllic. Set on a secluded stretch of pure sugar-white sand, this couples only resort is an attractive, contemporary hotel right on the shores of Bloody Bay. There’s plenty to do for those who enjoy more than just a soaking up the sun, with endless activities including snorkelling and scuba diving. Alternatively enjoy simply splashing about in one of the pools or lazing on the beach. Be sure to venture out on the complimentary Couples Catamaran cruise to see the sunset and the pirate caves. The restaurants at Couples Negril are formidable, each one serving authentically prepared traditional dishes ranging from Caribbean to Asian cuisine. Otaheite offers intimate Caribbean dining in a relaxing romantic setting — get your reservation in early though as the tables fill up fast! For a more casual setting, the Cassava Terrace is sure to impress you and your taste buds. A delicious buffet restaurant offering a wide variety of culinary treats, you’ll be spoilt for choice. The low-key yet lively atmosphere at Couples Negril Resort adds to its popularity. Entertainment is provided every night of the week, look out for the talented pianist, he will be sure to get you up for a sing-a-long and a dance!

This was my first experience with the Couples brand, and unfortunately the resort didn't meet our expectations, so we transferred to Couples Swept Away after one night. This resort felt like a retirement community and not just because of the ages of the guests, but because of the energy in the resort and the demeanors of the staff. Vibe: Everyone was incredibly quiet and unfriendly, and most people were quietly reading. I still rate this as Average, because that's what some people like on vacation, but it's not for us. I see many people call this resort "lively" and this is the opposite of "lively", but is quiet and relaxing. Food and service: were sub-par - staff appeared to be inconvenienced by us and there were flies everywhere at the breakfast buffet. For comparison, when we switched to Swept Away, there were almost no flies or bugs near the food. Grounds: Beach was beautiful, but nothing compared to Swept Away. Pool was nice, but the jacuzzis closed early so as not to bother guests at the open-air and very casual restaurant. Management: Very accommodating when we asked to switch to Couples Swept Away. Rooms: We stayed in the "party room", which was overlooking the beach and was massive. The room was a bit dated and the view was of the watersports equipment. Read less

We spend a quiet, relaxing anniversary week with Couples Negril. The highlights of our stay: 1. The beach. Negril is one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen. Couples also has floats you can take into the designated swimming area, which was a nice touch. Beach vendors and musicians are abundant, but not excessively persistent. There is plenty of natural shade under the trees. 2. The people. While not overbearing, all Service teams were nice, polite, accommodating and caring. Other guests were also very nice. We met people from all over. The beach party was delightful. No one tried to sell us any time shares. 3. The spa services. Couples massage and facials were very relaxing. 4. The cat cruise was a ton of fun! Amazing cliffs, caves and beautiful water to enjoy. 5. Food and drinks. All the restaurants served great selections, and they showed commitment to food safety with constant cleaning and temperature monitoring. 6. The grounds were clean and well maintained. Resort cats are spayed with tipped ears and are in good physical shape. 7. Entertainment. Beautiful voices and nice resident band. We did not partake in many resort activities. The resort offers a day trip to Swept Away, which we enjoyed. This visit, we did not take advantage of water sports. The transfer vans are air conditioned and have WiFi. It’s a 1.5 hour coastal drive from MoBay to Negril. What can use improvement: the property is pretty dated. They do a nice job maintaining it, but if you’re into crisp modern construction and decor, this property is not it. The check in is in the piano bar which is very dated. Wish that was not our first impression, it gets better from there. They also don’t give you an option on quiet vs entertainment area, please ask as the entertainment will keep a weary traveler up till 10 pm. We ended up upgrading to a suite. Overall a lovely experience, worth the additional drive to Negril. Read less

We are staying in an “oceanfront”suite. We have been here for 4 days. We have not had any hot water now we have no water at all to shower. We have stayed at other couples resorts. This is a huge disappointment. The resorts always appear worn however this one seems neglected. Our concerns have gone unaddressed and we were also told by staff that “Jamaicans don’t need hot water to shower that it is an American thing.” They also advertised 24 hour food service which also is untrue. We arrived hours late due to airline/weather delays and were rushed through check in. We were then told we had to hurry we could only get food in the buffet until 930. This is our third visit and will be our last to a Couples Resort . I am very disappointed. Read less

We’ve just got back from an amazing week at Couples Negril - everything we hoped for from a chilled holiday and more! The whole atmosphere and vibe made it…really laid back, great staff and all guests were so friendly. Good choice of restaurants (although some are closed on certain nights so worth planning out if you’re only doing a week), plenty of daily and evening entertainment, and a lot included - daily diving, water sports, tennis, pickleball and catamaran cruise which was SO good! Our only downsides were the wine choices (pretty much undrinkable sadly), no option of pint glass for beer, and the piano bar was disappointing - quite naff entertainment (karaoke etc) when the resort is missing a nice lounge bar for after dinner drinks. Other than that, we couldn’t fault it and would 100% recommend to any couples looking for a relaxed but fun break! Read less
