Couples Negril

Small laid back resort, waterfront and beach located in a cove, calm, clear and shallow water. The hotel is dated but well maintained, our room was facing the beach with a view we appreciated. Included were snorkelling and other excursions on catamarans owned by the hotel. Rooms were clean, good food, staff friendly and motivated. [Details]

Not sure where begin.

Jamaica is gut wrenchingly beautiful. Couples Negril was a perfect home away from home. The facilities were top notch. We wanted for nothing. Room: simple yet stunning. Food: OMG! Tons of healthy options which we really appreciated. It was fresh, delicious, every drink and meal clearly prepared with care. Staff: they were simply astounding. Seriously the best customer service I've ever experienced. Extra special big up to Dushane and Maliki Taylor. These two went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They are truly amazing human beings and we will remember them fondly. I hope our paths cross again.

The night life is minimal at best but the water activities, beach, facilities and food more than make up that.

Stay here! [Details]

Very clean and good maid service

Traveling to the resort was organized and easy to navigate to! From start to finish the staff at the resort catered to us well and were super friendly! The rooms were clean and they truly had the most comfortable bed ever!! The rooms were a little out of date but still great! The resort layout is easy to navigate and everyone was super kind. The gym was fully stocked of great equipment and in a good area. The beach was phenomenal and definitely shows why it's so famous! [Details]

We enjoyed a quiet week at this lovely small resort [Details]

We recently got back from a week long stay at Couples Negril and we loved every minute. Staff are friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. The resort is clean and small enough that you don't need to take any shuttles to get around - everything is within walking distance, nice and close together. We ate at all of the restaurants and were impressed with every single meal. The grill on the beach is excellent for lunches and late night munchies. If you have the opportunity to do a private dinner on the beach or in the treehouse - DO IT! We had a private dinner in their treehouse and it was magnificent. Large portion sizes, excellent food and beautiful romantic decor. The pool bar is a lot of fun and the bartenders really take care of you. Highly recommend this resort and can't wait to go back one day! [Details]

This is a great resort, it is small, cozy, romantic, clean, the staff is amazing and always polite. The beach is always clean, chairs are neatly placed every day, there are plenty of chairs for everyone. The food was good everyday and every meal. The rooms always clean and fridge re-stocked everyday. If you are missing something, they will quickly help you get what you need. Gym has everything that you need for a workout. The spa was absolutely perfect. [Details]

Had a great stay at Couples Negril. Staff were very friendly. Staff on the beach could use some work though. Had a little bit of a tough time getting drinks while on the beach. Rooms were clean and modern and housekeeping staff were great. Only negative thing I would say about our stay would be that we paid to be in a beach front deluxe room and our room was not even close to beach front. It was a garden view room. Beyond this, the food at the resort was fantastic and the amenities and entertainment were very good. Excursions, free or paid, were both very good. [Details]

We are back to the cold…..but what a stay!

We just got back from Couples Negriland love your property, staff and activities.The Couples Resorts are truly a ALL INCLUSIVE experience!

I was not sure about Jamaica..Heard comments say people are pushy and rude or loud. Not true or maybe in certain areas, I experienced some of the most pleasant and accommodating people at Couples Negril. My wife and I really like this place and it was the first place she actually said she wants to come back all the time…Finally I found a place she loves to go back to lol.

Off to the review.

Property :
We stayed in building 7, room 7203 view was spectacular and well kept .
Its an older hotel but the condition is great, and is one of the best I have seen . I felt like I was in a tropical rain forest every morning looking at a garden and a opening that gave you a noce view of the ocean if you like nature this area was great .In the evening all the critters make nocturnal sounds there were crabs that came out at night ,frogs and a whole lot of other critters.

We walked the property every morning looking at the other buildings and there is really not one area that is better than another all locations are great and offer a different view of the resort.

Activities:
The Couples Resorts include everything ,this is where we had a blast all the water sports and outings were included from a boat ride out to the reef for snorkelling where I was able to see Sea turtle, and eagle rays among other marine life. They go out twice a day ,if you want to go for night snorkelling there is a small fee per person. Tried water skiing for the first time and loved it . They offer so much at no extra cost even a Catamaran ride to 7 mile beach , they include drinks and music . When you arrive to the destination you can swim in crystal clear water and go into caves or take plunge into the ocean on a water slide that in on the catamaran and its all included how nice is that.

Beaches are immaculate, and the calmest warm water I have ever seen. No rushing for beach chairs there are lots available, and this was the first time I saw beach chairs with a foam pad/floater that you can take in to the ocean and float around. Really nice idea and everyone used it.

I read many comments about people bothering you on the beach ,this is far from what we experienced at The Couples Negril, go to the Dominican Republic and you will be harassed but not in Negril they stay near the water and are not allowed to come up to you.

Restaurants , Ahhh the tasty Jamaican food and they have real hot sauce like Busha Browns Scotch Bonnet sauce yummm.

Everything is good, So there really is not much more to say the food at couples is the best we have had at any resort in the Caribbean ,even Friday they serve lobster .Jerk Chicken and Jamaican Patties were always available at the Helicona beach restaurant amongst a nice menu of other things to choose from.

One thing I must mention for the Otaheite restaurant ,there is a strict dress code.So men must have a collared polo or shirt its written but I didnt read it my bad, I had a nice T-shirt with dress pants but it was not good enough, but OMG they we're so accommodating they wanted to give me the menu and they would bring the food to me at another restaurant , I appreciated the offer and they were so sincere about it but I said its fine no worries.

Alcoholic drinks are real no water down stuff and taste great .

Gym:
This is where I was a little disappointed, they had lots of equipment, I would start my workout a 6am but it was so hot in that room I had to leave, tried to work out twice but couldn't last. The AC seemed to be on a memory setting so you couldn't adjust it.
I would suggest that management look at that and adjust the AC temperture.

**We took an excursion to YS falls and Black River nice outing saw crocs and our guide even kissed an incredibly large one called Josephine.

I cant say enough or write everything it would be too long but rest assured you cant go wrong with Couple Negril for quiet and a relaxing vacation.
If the Issa Family's other couples resorts are the same im hooked for life!

Couples thanks for making this vacation one of the best I have ever had with no extra expense or negative experiences. [Details]

Once again Couples Negril lived up to our expectations. Beautiful surroundings, beautiful staff ! [Details]

We have been going to Couples Negril for the past 3 years and feel that this is the resort for us. The staff make you feel like family and the rooms are impeccable. [Details]

We were treated like royalty...the food was awesome and the staff were so friendly and the wedding planner Kenisha went out of her way to make our wedding day very special....our only negative comment would be that the hotel itself is run down and could you a good facelift and the pool & jacuzzi need better care as there was always algae growing in both..as a pool owner I know this is a difficult situation to deal with but i did not see anyone adding and chemicals to combat this not did i see anyone doing and water tests...I only saw them vacuuming the pool in the early morning and quit frankly they did a lousy job at that...regardless we would gladly make a return visit there! [Details]

Great honeymoon experience. All of the included activities made it a blast.

The food, service, staff and location were all great.

Only downside is some of the additional services are priced pretty steep. [Details]

This is our 8th trip to Couples Negril. Washrooms in all buildings have been re-done and room renovations (decorations) are underway. The resort has a "home" feel and the staff plays a large role in that. The dive boat was having issues while we were there and played a factor in limiting the amount that we dove. After 8 years we can say that the food quality/selection is not as good as it once was. It is still great but not outstanding like it was. They do identify food in the buffet that is Gluten Free which is an improvement.
Drinks are always available and the beach service is slower than in previous years. We were there during a storm which brought mounds of seaweed on the shore the staff worked tirelessly to get the beach back to pristine condition. In previous years there was a beach towel exchange program that has been removed. Without the towel exchange program many guests just walk away from their towels on the chairs leaving them appearing occupied when they are not. The staff has to pick them up at the end of the day so it is all fresh in the morning. [Details]

Clean, Bright, Polite, RELAXING.
These are just a few words that can express the experience that you will receive once you arrive. Staff are by the most part personable and professional. The resort clean, the staff are polite and the atmosphere is very relaxing. If you want to party, maybe this resort is not for you, if you want / need to unwind from stress of a busy life, then this is a great starting point, the rest is what you make it. [Details]

Hotel was exceptionally clean. Staff were very accommodating. We like the smaller resorts so this place was perfect. Very clean. [Details]

Check in on Saturday morning was horrendous. Seemed very haphazard and uncoordinated. After that - everything, and I mean everything, was top notch. The food, drinks, water sports, people, entertainment, etc. were all VERY good. [Details]

This was one of our best vacations ever. Can't beat this location and the resort is one of the nicest we have ever staying in. [Details]

was worth the price. Service was exceptional. Bathroom could do with a little TLC but room was very comfortable and clean. Resort is beautiful, food excellent. Included excursions were great. [Details]

very good, beyond my expectations [Details]

My wife and I have been to alot of all inclusive resorts through-out the carribean (never had a need to return to the same one twice ) up untill now.This place has a small occupancy , exceptional food. They say no tipping , trust me this is Jamaica they except tips.This joint manufactures fun,you will have a blast. Ron from Burlington Ont. [Details]

We all had a fabulous time at Couples Negril. The food was fantastic; the service was exceptional and the whole atmosphere was very relaxing. [Details]

2nd time to this resort. Maintenance has improved since last trip Dec 2010 but food not quite as good as before. Staff very courtious and make an effort to accomodate your needs. [Details]

Lovely, quaint hotel with everything close by ~ never too far to walk to anything. We especially loved the fact that the beach lounges came equipped with a floating mat that you could float around on in the beautiful Caribbean waters .... paradise found! [Details]

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. [Details]

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! [Details]

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! [Details]

Everything and more in a holiday. The beach is amazing, the food is amazing, the rooms are very clean. Pool was spotless. Entertainment was the best we've ever seen at a resort. Services and staff were above excellent. Overall a fantastic resort and we would highly recommend it to all couples. [Details]

Met or exceeded our every expectation. Best beach ever - rivals cuba
Great tennis facilities and instruction
Superb food of all types
All services are free including scuba [Details]
