Couples Swept Away

Food was not what we expected. For the amount of money we worked hard for and saved all year this was a complete let down. The Jamaican beef patties at the outside bar was awesome! Workers not much much enthusiasm to help a first timer out on where to order or if u sit and wait. My husband and I actually left the resort nearly half our stay just to get decent food. Breakfast went straight thru us. Not sure if it was the oil used in the eggs and potatoes but that was a no good. Settled for pastries the rest of our stay. Don’t get me wrong beautiful beach good lunch but dinner definitely not. Also we were celebrating our 5th anniversary and in the 5 years and traveling to different resorts this resort didn’t even acknowledge it. We questioned it at checkout. They offered us a bottle of free champagne to take with us but declined as we only had carry on luggage. 7 days there and delft will not return. We will stick with Mexico or Dominican for future vacations. Beach vendors are quite frequent. Always trying to sell but politely said no thanks. And on repeat. Read less

This was our second visit in two years, and certainly won’t be the last visit. We stayed August 12-19 and it was super slow, which was both good and bad. While it was nice to basically have the run of the resort, Patois wasn’t open for breakfast, and our Bamboo Bar (right outside of our Ocean Veranda Suite #4113) was closed the entire time. Neither were deal breakers, but if you’ve been, you know it’s a long walk from our room to the other end of the resort for breakfast. A plus was the ability to get a good palapa without playing the towel game. Plenty of space for everyone. I'd be surprised if there were 100 people there during our stay. Our room was great and the AC worked very well. The grounds were incredible as always, and obviously the beach and water are perfect. Cleaning, beverage service and turndown service were all awesome, and all requests were happily honored. THE SUNSET BAR! When I say we spent a lot of time there, I mean if you were there, you saw us at the bar with our green mugs. An entire week of Shenar, Tyrice, Judeen and Anisha keeping the drinks flowing and the laughs rolling! Spend some time getting to know these people. It’s worth the investment. They made every day of our trip better, and we are better knowing them. Food was a great as always, from the snapper sandwiches at Scotch Bonnet that we crave all year, to the lamb at Feathers, to Lobster Night. We missed seeing Ms. Patricia at Patois this year, but we heard she was around. Just never found her. The retuning guests dinner was a highlight. Just outstanding food. All of our servers were great. All in all, we met some wonderful fellow guests, ate incredible food, and were treated incredibly well by the staff. I know there are other reviews claiming things have gone downhill, and clearly everyone has a different experience, but we just didn’t see it. Honestly, neither of us is sure what could have been better. We came here last year as a one-off vacation, fell in love with the place, and we plan on coming every year for a long time to come. See you next year, Shenar, Tyrice, Judeen and Anisha! One Love, from Jonathon and Paula! Read less

Couples Swept away is an amazing tropical resort set in Paradise in Jamaica. We are so grateful that we chose this wonderful hotel to elope and get married. We had a super day, arranged by Fiona and her team. The staff helped create the most beautiful occasion for us. The ceremony took place on the gorgeous Negril beach, followed by an intimate reception. Then later a romantic candlelit dinner under the stars . It was a dream come true, a special memory to treasure always. The romance continued the following week (our honeymoon) spent sunbathing, exploring & swimming in the pretty turquoise ocean. The food & entertainment here is excellent. Sorry for the late review (Wedding/honeymoon April 2023), Debbie & Darren Read less

We visited CSAJuly 31-Aug7th. The last time we visited was in 2017 and gave the resort a five star review on TripAdvisor. First, let me say this is a personal opinion. I know other people think differently, and that’s fine. We were very disappointed in the grounds and property. We felt like it has not been kept up. A lot of the sidewalks are deteriorating and holding water causing mud around the entry to our room and ice cooler. We stayed in ocean veranda suite 4116. We had a constant drip in the access hole in the bathroom, the telephone in our room did not work, I had reported it four different times (three times at front desk , once on the app), still no one bothered to come check it. The ceiling fan could only be ran on the lowest setting, otherwise it shook so bad we were afraid it would come off the ceiling. We had red ants in our room. After dinner we Wouk enjoy going back to our room to relax and read. There was only one chair in our room and you couldn’t prop up on the bed, because there is no headboard . We did sit out on our patio some but the bugs were so bad in the evenings that we had to spray down with bug spray to make it tolerably. Feathers and Patios had some large cobwebs attached to a few of the light fixtures. Several of the thatched roofs on the beach huts were in poor condition or partially missing. On more than one occasion, security guards asked us to bring lunch to them.(They said they couldn’t leave their post.) Lastly, to address the vendors walking the beach. We have been to the Dominican Republic, Saint Lucia, US Virgin Islands, Cancun, and two different resorts in Ocho Rios and we have never had vendors any where except on the 7 mile beach. I understand these people are trying to make a living, but it was hard to even enjoy being on the beach or taking a walk without someone trying to sell you something. I told them I was not interested then they asked for money or food. They throw the word respect around a lot, but it seems to me it doesn’t work both ways with them. They walk up to give you a bracelet, etc. and then they come back and want money for it almost to the point of harassing. As far as service and staff it was exceptional. Chris at the scuba center was very patient and knowledgeable . I have not been diving in three years. he was very good and attentive in the pool and open water. Temilla at the front desk was great assisting us with a room upgrade. Jackie at the tour desk was so very helpful to schedule excursions for us since our phone wasn’t working. Tryce at the beach bar was always very accommodating and friendly We enjoyed doing the catamaran cruise, and the snorkeling excursion was fun. Read less
