Couples Sans Souci

This was our first holiday to Jamaica and wow, it didn't disappoint. The food, staff and facilities are amongst the best we have experienced around the world. Our penthouse suite was amazing and the 750ml bottles of spirits along with beer and wines and soft drinks incredible. Our huge bathroom with his and hers sinks and double ended shower was ideal. The choice of restaurants was great and service friendly and prompt. Carol's breakfast omelette was outstanding! The variety of pools in different locations suited my wife and the water sport equipment made our stay varied. We did the snorkelling and glass bottomed boat trips which we both enjoyed. We just didn't have time to use the tennis and pickle ball courts. The entertainment each day was professional and the daily trivia quizzes by the pools entertaining. The mineral pool was used along with the various hot tubs and cold spring pool. We enjoyed the sunset beach facility and in fact it was far better utilised than the other beach. The only issue we had was the selfish individuals putting towels and bags on sunbeds under the beach umbrellas early in the morning and then not appearing until later after their breakfast right up to 1130. All in all, it was probably one of the best resort holidays we have ever experienced. Thank you!

We had an absolute delightful holidays at Couples Sans Souci. The staff was so kind. The food was excellent and it was just a beautiful atmosphere. We had s beachfront room which were very convenient. Their room was well appointed.

I am very disappointed with lunch at San Souci. We have visited Couples San Souci for the last 5 years during September. In the past we had ala cart service at both Palazzina and Bella Vista for lunch. This September Bella Vista is closed and Palazzina is now a buffet. The buffet was not good. The fish dish was luke warm. I did not see anyone testing the temperature of the food in the buffet.

This is our fourth trip to Jamaica and third trip to couples and San Souci. Very relaxing atmosphere great place to read and enjoy the view of the beach and ocean.

Vacationed here for the 8th time and it was another fantastic trip. I’ll break down each part, so please excuse the long post. TRAVEL: We connected in Miami from DFW and landed at Ian Fleming in Ocho Rios. This was the first time we’ve flown into here and it was great. Only a 20 minute ride to CSS. From landing to the van took about 15 minutes. CHECK IN: Easy and flawless as usual. Front desk is always welcoming with a cool towel and champagne. ROOM: Werequested a bottom floor room in B block and we received what we requested, B 105. Room was clean, cool and decorated nicely. It’s nice being on the bottom floor to be near everything without the hassle of stairs. View to beach was unobstructed. CONSTRUCTION: When getting the email, I was concerned about noise. No issues with annoying noise or construction issues. GROUNDS: the grounds crew are the unsung heroes of CSS. Absolutely beautiful landscape. MAIN BEACH BAR: The temporary set up works great. Lloyd is an outstanding bartender. Always ready with shots and drink suggestions. RESTAURANTS: We dined at Casanova twice and Bella Vista 3 times. Both were really good but we prefer the old Bella Vista to the new Asian food menu. Casanova was outstanding as usual. Great service and food. We had breakfast every morning at Palazzina each morning. The omelette is a must try. JAMAICA NIGHT: Wonderful food and entertainment. Man doing fire tricks is always entertaining as well as the singing entertainment. McHugh is a great host as always. He’s an outstanding MC. NIGHTLY ENTERTAINMENT: The best we saw was the Bob Marley tribute. Incredible performer with all the classics. REPEATERS DINNER: great meal of surf and turf. The new GM was introduced and briefly spoke. We dined with Racine which is always great. POOL and BEACH: We spent the majority of our time at SSB. Bartenders, entertainment team and food was outstanding. Great group of guests all friendly. We saw some old friends and made new ones. Although CSS has many things that bring us back, SSB is the main draw for us. OVERALL: Even with the construction ongoing our stay was great. It seems as if every attempt is being made during construction to make it a non issue for the guests. Kudos to the administration for all the care and details. CSS has endeared itself to us due to its outstanding employees. We are hoping the new management does not change the atmosphere of this wonderful resort. It’s a great place for couples to reconnect and relax.
