 Magnifique

La plage de cet hotel est tout simplement magnifique, sable blanc et eau turquoise. Les gens sont très accueillant et sympatique. Hotel sans pourboire ce qui fait que personne ne vous fait la tête lorsque vous ne laissez rien et le sourire est toujours au rendez-vous. Comme nous avions réservé plusieurs mois d'avance, l'hotel nous a offert 300$ échangeable en vin, boutique, massage... Il y a un service de bar dans votre chambre, nous avons pu commander des bouteilles de RUM et les rapporter avec nous gratuitement.

Nous avons rencontrez des gens qui en était a leur 4e visite sur le site et nous comprennons pourquoi, nous y retournerons assurément.

Si vous cherchez un endroit ou il n'y a pas que des Québécois, c'est l'endroit, nous étions les seules durant toute la semaine...

 Amazing is an understatement!

If someone wants to know what paradise is like, it is definitely Couples Negril. From the staff to accommodations, activities and the food was all amazing. A very stress free environment. There is something for everyone at this resort. Always lots of spots on the beach anytime of the day. So many extras which is such a nice touch. It is rated at the top of our list to go back to really soon. This time we will definitely stay longer.

 Would definitely go back to Couples Negril

Couples Negril is a beautiful place! The beach is amazing - better than any other beach we've been to. The sand is white and soft like velvet. The water is a beautiful shade of turquoise-blue and not rough and choppy like the beaches in Punta Cana.

The staff are so friendly and warm and attentive. All the bartenders, waitstaff, entertainment staff, housekeeping and maintenance people are so nice and genuine.

With respect to the food, while there is not as much selection at the buffet at this resort compared with other resorts we've stayed at, the quality and taste of the food here, by far, exceeded our expectations. The food had so much flavor and the presentation of the a la carte items was gourmet by any standard. The desserts were phenomenal! Every other resort we've been to in Mexico, Cuba and DR, all the desserts tasted bland and had a fruity sweetness. The desserts here were rich and tasted as good as they looked!

We had no issues that were not dealt with promptly. The only complaint I can think of is that the paint and grout in the rooms needs to be freshened up. This was not a big deal for us because the time we spent in the room was minimal. The mattresses and pillows were very comfortable (and I have a lot of problems with my back so this was a real bonus for me).

We would definitely return to this resort again in the future, and would recommend it to anyone who was traveling to Jamaica!

 Jamaïque - No probleme

La Jamaïque, pays de mes rêves.... nous avons arrêté notre choix pour Negril a cause de ses plages sans trop de coraux. Le site Couples se situe à l'intérieur d'une baie donc offre une mer hyper tranquille (d'un calme plat - pas de vague). Entre Montégo Bay et Negril il y a 1 heure et demi de transport parsemé de beaux paysages, de montagnes et aussi de bidonville. La pauvreté se vit à l'extérieur du site Couples. Le Couples est un vieux site très propre mais qui demanderait une touche d'actualisation et quelques rénovations afin d'être comparable a d'autres sites d'un point de vue qualité prix. La nourriture est très bonne et varié, les restaurants à la carte sont excellents. Il y a assez de chaise longue sur la plage et Couples offre des cousins sur les chaises qui peuvent êtres transportés sur l'eau afin de flotter en toute tranquillité et sécurité. très bonne carte de boisson internationale ainsi que plusieurs bars sur le site et plage. Le site est grand et petit a la fois, tout est à la porté de la main. Le personnel est souriants et respectueux. Les locaux (vendeurs sur la plage et près du site) sont généralement très présents et à la limite harcelants, surtout pour la vente de drogue. La sécurité cependant sut le site est excellente, de jour comme de nuit. Il y a des gardiens sur la plage a tout les 50 pieds. Cela dit bien des choses... En sommes beau voyage, hôtel moyen et rêve réalisé. Est ce que je retournerai à ce site ...malheureusement non et ce uniquement pour le rapport qualité prix.

Bon voyage

 Great place to relax

Everything about this resort was great, the food, people, beach were all top notch. This is the perfect place to get away for a quiet and relaxing vacation - if you're looking for a party that goes all night, keep looking. If I was being picky the only comments I would make is that the rooms could use a face lift; they had everything you needed, but were a bit dated. We also found the entertainment at night pretty weak. I rated the resort as a 3 (as expected) only because I did a lot of research so we knew what to expect, the resort was great!

 Couples Negril March 2011

March 5-12 2011
This resort is absolutely incredible! From the quality of the service, to the food and drinks, there is nothing that disappointed me on this vacation. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The one thing that I love about this place is their NO TIPPING policy, so everyone gets equal treatment and you don't have to walk around with $ at all times. The restaurants are great, hardly any waiting times for the a la carte restaurants, and if you do have to wait, they offer you drinks in the mean time and check up on you every few minutes to see if everything is alright. No matter what time of the day you can always find a spot on the beach or near the pool, never over-crowded. The RED FLAG drink service is awesome, so no need to walk back and forth for drinks when relaxing at the beach or pool. As well as the security on the beach was nice, so that the beach vendors, although comical would keep their distance and not come up to you and harass you, if you want something, you go to them. Overall and amazing experience for our first time in Jamaica. We are very happy we choose Couple Negril. Everyone has a beautiful Jamaican smile!

 Un séjour de rêves

Nous avons passé 2 belles semaines, le personnel très attentif, nourriture savoureuse. Chambre confortable, resort de grandeur moyenne, donc tout à quelques pas. Plage de sable fin, entretenue de façon impeccable, ombragé par la végétation naturelle. Un seul restaurant demande une réservation. Restaurants à la carte illimité, à l'heure qui vous convient.
Terrain très bien entretenu tout en gardant l'aspect naturel.

 Couples Negril, Jamaica

Hotel was very clean, a little slow for maid service, but this was really the only negative point. Food was awesome, the staff was awesome, and the beach was the best we seen. (lots of trees, beach was raked every morning, no weeds etc). Would recommend to anyone who really wants to relax.

The entertainment was good, but they should have had more. Usually only 1-1.5 hrs each night, and sometimes during lunch.

Overall, good place to relax, and we are making plans to return.

Couples Negril is a small resort with everything at your fingertips. It is big enough to get lost but small enough to be handy to everything. The food alone was worth the trip! We really enjoyed our stay and would return.

 Enfin un vrai tout inclus !

Un excellent endroit pour se reposer, bien manger et se faire dorloter. Le petit déjeuner au lit est inclus. La plage est belle, propre, magnifique. Les activités nautiques sont inclues (tour de catamaran, plongée, etc.). Le vin est bon (un vin chilien, il y a même du rosé). Même s'il est interdit de donner des pourboires, tout le personnel n'a qu'une idée en tête : rendre votre séjour agréable. De grands hamacs (à deux), des chaises longues avec coussins qui flottent sur l'eau (mer et piscine). Des soirées et repas thématiques : dont un feu sur la plage avec chansonnier jamaicain. Bref, beaucoup de plaisir et de détente. Nous avons trouvé ce que nous cherchions depuis longtemps.

 2nd Wonderful Trip

We've gone to a number of different islands over the years - but for everything we are looking for Couples Negril stands out on top! We've been to a number of Sandals resorts and Couples is as good if not better in some respects than a Sandals Resort. If you are beach person - this is the place to be. We love Couples Negril - I would say the only thing they really need to improve on is the rooms - they are comfortable but could really do with some updating. But how much time to you really spend in your room? Don't hesitate to give this resort a try...I'm confident you'll like it. My only advise is don't pay for a upgraded room - I don't believe it is worth the money.

I hope you enjoy this resort as much as my wife an I...we will return!

 Vavances de rêve

L accueil a l aeroport dans le salon reserve a Couples est fantastique. Une debarbouillette et de la biere est offerte en attendant l autobus. Vous pouvez aussi vous changer. Environ 20 minutes d attente pour l autobus et 1h30 pour le transport au resort. On vous offre un verre de mousseux pendant que vous remplisser le check-in. Environ 10 minutes pour recevoir vos cles. Les valises suivent 10 minutes plus tard.

Nourritures excellentes, plage fantastique, chambre a 2 minutes de la plages (250 chambres seulement environ), service extraordinaire, activites (ski nautique, hobie cat, planche a voile, introduction a la plongee avec une sortie en mer, excursion en catamaran en apres midi, snorkeling et bateau a fond de verre)inclues sans supplement et sans restriction en temps.

Toujours une chaise disponible sur la plage. Pas besoin de reserver sa chaise a 6:00 le matin.

Le gym pour les sportifs est pas mal complet.

Pas de discotheque pour les oiseaux de nuit mais un piano bar qui ne ferme que lorsque le dernier client quitte!

Les Jamaicains sont fantastiques et tres relax avec leurs: "Yeah Man no problem"

Donc vavances parfaites pour nous. Je recommanderais ce club sans hesiter.

 Vacances de rêve

Nous avons vraiment senti pendant tout notre sejour que le client prenait toute la place dans leur souhait de nous satisfaire. Tout le personnel s est montre affable et empresse et le service lui-même etait tout simplement superieur. La bouffe excellente dans tous les restaurants a tous les repas. La plage superbe et petite attention bien apprecie, le coussin de la chaise de plage se transformait en flotteur pour s etendre sur l eau. Beaucoup d extras inclus dans le forfait, etc..., nous avons passe des vacances de rêve dans ce complexe pour adulte ou tous peuvent y trouver leur compte selon nous.

 Absolutely Fantastic!

We have been on several all inclusive vacations over the past few years but this was our first time at a Couples Resort and it surpassed all of our expectations. The food and service at all of the restaurants was incredible. The ocean on Bloody Bay where Couples Negril is located was crystal clear and calm. We floated all day long on the ocean on the provided lounge cushions. One of the highlights was waiting for the starfish to magically appear everyday around 4 PM at the beach. The all inclusive water sports were really great too. We never had a problem booking a time for the snorkelling or catamaran cruise. Hobie Cats and paddle boats were readily available. Although we found the rooms slightly dated and less posh then some of the newer resorts we've stayed at this did not bother us in the least as everything else at the resort, especially the service, was superior. It was by far the most relaxing vacation we've ever had.

Excellent all-inclusive. I have visited Jamaica on five other occasions through another all-inclusive company, and Couples Negril is by far the most pleasant Jamaica vacation I have enjoyed. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

 One of the Best

We booked Couples Negril and were very delighted that we did so. This was one of our most relaxing and satisfying vacations we have ever had and it was due to the resort and the people we met while there. Trip Date: Nov. 28th – Dec.5th, 2008.

Background – we consider ourselves average travelers with simple needs. We book standard rooms and have visited many resorts thoughout the Carribean Islands.

Weather – for this particular time of the year the weather varied from cloudy to solid sunshine with temperatures ranging from 28 – 31 C (83 – 88 F) during the day and only slightly cooler at night. During our entire stay we only experienced one morning where it sprinkled for a total of approximately 10 minutes and by noon the skies had cleared to brilliant sunshine. Note: It did rain on the trip to and from Montego Bay but don’t be alarmed while making the trip from the airport because the showers have everything to do with location (windward versus leeward side of the island).

Travel – Air Canada … just your standard check-in and flights with no issues or delays. Our trip from the airport to the resort took 2 hours strictly due to bad timing. We arrived Friday afternoon just as everyone had completed their work week so the streets and highways were congested with vehicles and in the smaller villages people seem to congregate on the streets making the journey slower than normal. Trip back took 1.5 hours and the only difference was that it was earlier in the day before the congestion started. We did meet a couple that booked Tim Air (small commuter plane that uses a landing strip located across from the hotel). They informed us that it took them approx. 10 minutes and by the time we arrived, they had already checked in and had a sunburn. We inquired and the cost was approx. $200 / couple if you pay with cash while it would be $205 if using a credit card.

Resort – what can be said about a resort that treats you like you are royalty? CN was one of the smallest resorts we have visited but in our opinion that is what made it so very extraordinary. Because it is smaller you get to know all the employees and they work so very darn hard to make your stay an enjoyable one. Everyone took the time to learn your name and within days you were being greeted as though they had known you for years. The grounds are immaculate and I am sure that they are raking the beach behind you after you walk through. Pools and hot-tubs looked clean but we are beach people so I can’t really comment on them other than how they looked when we passed by.

The rooms showed their age (12 years) but they are in the process of upgrading them. It didn’t bother us as ours was kept clean and immaculate and we only spend time in the room to sleep.

Two beaches and they are separated by a hedge. The smaller section on the right side (facing the resort) is the
