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!

Our first time in Jamaica, we have been all over mexico. The water was the calmest water I've ever seen. If you are a mermaid and want to be in the actual ocean alot, this place is your dream. They have a swimming area marked off, and all of the water toys you can dream of. Boat bikes, kayakes, paddle board, sail boat, free life jackets, free snorkling daily, free scuba diving daily and night scuba! You can get scuba certified here for super cheap. The resort is super relaxing and quiet and calm. Not tons of music blaring everywhere all the time. The piano bar is a fun place to hang out and get more top shelf alcohol. All of the food was fresh everywhere we went. I loved that a short walk down the beach there were tons of beach vendors selling all kinds of stuff so we never had to leave the resort! Got everything we needed right there. Felt safe the entire time. Super fun couples games daily and had tons of fun. Would recommend to all couples! Read less

Special shout out to the entertainment team… Deshane, Franchesca, and Iesha…they were all so much fun! Also Shamarie was insanely fun for water aerobics and Shemar the night cook on the beach makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever! (He’s also funny!!) Be sure to check out Paul at the piano bar and see Ivy at the pool bar! They are both incredible! We will definitely be back! Read less

We were there for Xmas and New Year and had a wonderful time. We are repeater guests and can sometimes be a bit complacent about expectations. Positives: 1. The staff, take time to get to know them and ask them how they’re doing- they will repay you with the brightest smiles and friendly service. 2. Housekeeping I loved that we got fresh water and clean towels everyday. Coffee accessories were replaced and if you had DND sign on during the day; the evening turn-down service would ensure towels and coffee were replaced, if need be. 2a. The coffee pods were excellent. 3. Plenty of shady loungers! When I’m on holiday, I don’t want to have to be rushing out at the crack of dawn to grab a bed- no worries of this at Couples, you can easily find a shaded bed all day long. And the loungers are comfy!!! 4. Location Sandy beach, beautiful clear water. Loved watching the beach traffic and supporting the musicians and vendors. 5. Free Activities The catamaran, snorkelling, scuba-water-skiing etc - should never be taken for granted. Water sport staff are great! Negatives 1) Entertainment Some of the daily entertainment activities could get a bit intrusive, especially if you’re trying to have a quiet lunch at the Grill bar. 2) Wine All the house wine is undrinkable! We ended up having to spend money on the Managers Wine list which could be improved-please! Top Tip - Bring a few bottles from home. Read less

We stayed here for 8 days in December. As others have mentioned, the location isn't great. The journey to and from the hotel is troublesome and lengthy. You can of course book trips if you want to explore Jamaica, but this resort isn't in a prime area. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, boasting white sand and clear, turquoise water. The hotel itself is well kept but has dated decor. Beds were spacious and comfy. Our shower wasn't hot and this didn't get resolved until the 3rd time of asking. The nude beach is a fantastic addition for sun worshippers like ourselves. There were resident cats which I loved! The food in the restaurants was great. But the buffet area is a little underwhelming and samey, in all honesty. The games room is fun, especially for us Brits who love pool! Minus one or two individuals, the staff were apathetic and unhurried. We were actually shocked to see such positive reviews with regards to staff being super friendly and helpful - that wasn't our experience at all. However, 90% of the guests were incredibly welcoming and kind. The gift shop and clothes store were nice touches. The activity timetable was good, it was great to have access to the watersports. Unfortunately, the boat trip doesn't stop at Rick's Cafe which was a real shame. We enjoyed our vacation but we wouldn't return again. Areas for improvement: * Better breakfast selections (more fruit, cereals, smoothies etc). * A revamp of the entertainment areas * Staff to work on their hosting and communication skills * Factor in luggage transference for guests who are up high on 2nd/3rd level apartments - no lifts or ramps Read less

We took our closest family and friends to Couples Negril for our destination wedding over New Years Eve!!! It was amazing! We have 48 people in our group and Couples did a great job organizing with our Travel Agent. Shelly-Ann set up our private bonfire for our wedding party that included a fondue fountain and bar. She helped coordinate our catamaran wedding ceremony, checking on everything I needed as well as help set up our beach volleyball game with our group. The staff was amazing, the NYE celebration was fantastic. This was the 4th time we have been to Jamaica and 3rd time to Negril, this was by far our favorite resort we have stayed at!!! So thankful for Couples Negril for making a magical wedding week for myself and our group!!!!!! Read less
